Talk my shit one time

Can I speak my truth?

Is it cool if I

Can just talk to you for a minute

For a minute

Uh

Yo

6 classes from a diploma, my homie say he proud of me

Let's celebrate, so he grabbed him a bottle when he was on his way over

A chain smoker 6 squares from carcinoma, said he be stressed

And I feel him for real. He said the streets ain't got me yet

And these cigarettes is the last of my worries. Boy I done seen children get killed

On accident. And you know it could of been me for real

Plus I can't blow the dope, I just got me job

So if these little white sticks help me ease my mind, from all the times

I worry about losing my life, dying from smoke instead of getting smoked

Is just fine. The irony, and honesty I can see his eyes

And obviously he can see the same things as I

Look up in my eyes and see the dichotomy of our lives

Seen eye to eye on many things, one thing we can’t deny

Two different paths. Cut from the same cloth, but I made a fit out of mine

He tried to do the same thing but it ain't fit like mine

You know I dabbled but I was just in a school

He dropped out before they constitution test him. Even had a jump shot

Always said he'll be a shooter, he just grabbed a Smith and Wesson

Went from bike riding and scrapes all on his knees

To serving p's now he got goals of serving keys, damn

You know you can break out

I told him, I told him, I told him

You know you can break out

You know you can break out right

Mostly likely to succeed I had goals of a degree

I was being hot though still hitting stains for sneaks

He move like bleach staining everything just to eat

Moms ain't love him. He told me though, I ain't have to see

I moved out the house. He had to leave. By 24

2 felonies, would been three but the judge was reduced it cause he was 15

Nah said we wasn't in the projects, but we black so it's no way to escape the nonsense. Never wanted to come to my crib, cause my mindset

That was enforced by the things that my mom did

Reminded him his mom wasn't trying, we ain’t get that close until we got older

Conversations over struggles what made us closer

Thought I had it together. Man I just kept composure

I thought he was cool , but he was broken, barely sober

Blowing dossier, he did that to hold him over

He looked me in the eyes back when I was like 19

And he wanted to be like me, I just wanted to be free

I guess he wanted the same thing, damn
