feeling like another sleepless night
on the block, **** get dark in the daylight
but i hold my peace, fall asleep to
the rhythms of her breathing.
my thoughts are so deceiving
but my mind is knowing
eyes on my toes.
tell my feet to watch where they're walking
im in a circle outside the box
that all the unloyal ****** in
and im running from the courts
they tryna lock me in the pin.
i put my mind on my money
switch my heart to cold
loose fear when i walk out my front door.
****** is strapped so im staying strapped too
because its the ones that fear you that will **** you
so i keep it breezy and kind
eyes locked to theirs
so before they make they're move
i can make mine.
back in philly my family had it hard so my brother's fell victim to that life style. so this is me talkin as if i were them.
for john, free you baby
for zay, stay street smart
