Sometimes it gets uncomfortable
Tell me what they done for you
Deep and I’m in these numbers
I was flipping up all these ones and 2s
Visions of my death
I don't know if it'll be coming soon
Been watching all my steps
Never know who you gon run into

Even when I'm stressed feeling blessed with this passion
Souljahs with automatics they know that it's automatic if they chirp me up
Even when we grounded we bounded to feel turbulence
Looking all around us the town has been something murderous

To hang with it homie wanna bang Lil homie
Maxed out caught em slippin on the gang and it gets funky
It ain't funny when yo cuddy in that casket
Lil youngins dumping we ain't talk trash cans

Eastside I am
All of us just surviving
And I really want to see that day ain't got to look in the window behind us
Got to be reppin it all of my islands dako nga bisyas
And them Rz are yatted on me many people dying silent
With that last man mentality in actuality its how we brought up
Generational scars dishonored by many honors
All in the name GOD we a product of that drama
More and more sentences after they put them commas and they lock us up

I'm in the hood and I fought for us
Another one of us misunderstood cuz he tossed it up
Lil younging stumpy for the drug he want to shoot it up his veins
Getting harder to maintain all the pain when just a couple feet away
Another mother begs and she prays for her son that passed away
Another cop shot em in broad day after that that block won't be the same
When just across the street he couldn’t get up
Another vigil from the pistol In our section

122nd I was counting all seconds over stripes
Took a risk for that come up and I almost lost my life and I paid the price for it

And I could have died but I got my life and I can't deny that we often
All got to face all of the pain talking to me audibly off of the beat
And possibly we all got to be with that feeling of coming up broke
My city been covered in tattoos my city been covered in dope
Giving some hope and I'm out in Mill Park its lit even tho it's still dark
Hard to be looking out past those steel bars and seen how art could heal hearts
And that ain't even the ill part
These circles brought me healing
I built a life on a street that coulda of killed me
Real


Circles and phases I've been
To all the places again and again
I seen broken roads in every direction but I'm still here

I'm glad that I made it I've been
Waiting and waiting for this all to end and I'm holding on

Sometimes you got to look back
I've stayed and prayed for days just to cultivate this strength
To remember and honor my ancestors and I continue on this path

I got nothing loose but you

And its true won't you step into my shoes you only knew what we been through back in the day I broke the rules I was a fool but now I choose to be that proof I'm in the booth

These seconds go by I’ve been
I've been on both sides of this road

To make the news I really had to take them losses
Posted at this stop I'm staying cautious
