You have two options

You can take the blue pill and go on thinking the way you feel

Or you can take this red pill

And I’ll show you how to peep the game really good

Yuh


[Verse 1: Sevin]

Uh

Listen closely

Silence is the code that I speak with

Same time I see violence more than frequent

When I was a child I was told it was decent

But it’s foul and it’s cold as the precinct

It ain’t hard to write

You’d be amazed at the images I’ve stored up

Scarred through life

There’s no honor in the ghetto?

Please

They’ll unite

I know you seen a crack find when they share the pipe

I got a rellie in the cell for tryin’ to scale some white

Shake my head shed my tear

Then I sail the kite

I’m no longer wondering what hell is like

Why? Cuz I can feel it coming in the air tonight

Streets breathe with lungs of cold granite

No oxygen

Just the souls of those popped and then

Left with they chest bones and they domes

Lookin’ awkward alone with no proper friend

The mere sight’ll make you nauseous

While I’m making moves too vital to be cautious

A very thin line between love and hate

But there’s no differentiation between slugs and fate

To my wife I would love to mate

But I refuse to bring a child into the sight of this loveless place

And I asked her

Judge this place

Do you really see the eyes of a father in your husband’s face?


[Hook: Sevin]

Uh

This will be where my bloodline stops

Why should I plant seed when the weeds eat crops

Momma always said there’d be bad days

But she never said I wasn’t bred with these bad ways

Father never told me life would scold me so coldly

That I’d lose most my homies

How could they know my life would be this rough

I don’t want my child to see this stuff


[Verse 2: Sevin]

How could I look right into the innocent eyes of my newborn child

With the knowledge that his smile would be soon gone

Only to be replaced with the still stare of an emotionless face

And what will I have to say

When the hood demands taxes

And he asks “daddy do I have to pay”

Will I tell him “Son fast and pray”

Instead of grab the tray watching his homeboys pass away

Will my guidance lead his soul to the cross’s light

Or will he emulate the G in me and eventually it costs his life

And would in the event I have a daughter

Will she practice the virtue that I done taught her?

What if I caught her in the arms of some nigga with charm

But doing harm to my princess’s honor

I wonder if I lose my mind

Spend the rest of her years doing time because I used a nine

If peace is a tightrope I cruise the line fighting gravity

Or fall to the safe net of agony

Full-ride scholarship to hard knock academy

Where you’ll find hollow tips and hard rock where addicts be

Death casually abducts the youth’s future

I can’t fathom bringing up confused youth bruh

Love is gone it’s a song that I’m used to

And I’d love to spawn but I’m wrong if I choose to


[Hook: Sevin]

This will be where my bloodline stops

Why should I plant seed when the weeds eat crops

Momma always said there’d be bad days

But she never said I wasn’t bred with these bad ways

Father never told me life would scold me so coldly

That I’d lose most of homies

How could they know my life would be this rough

I don’t want my child to see this stuff


[Verse 3: Sevin]

I dedicate this to the victims of abortion

The undeveloped forms of life that were tortured and torn from light

I wish I could say I sympathize

But I’m not

Cuz here wickedness is emphasized pain rarely stops

If the ones who created you were willing to consider

Murdering they child then it’s best you weren’t delivered

(That’s real)

Before you even had dreams of success

I too had dreams too many things to confess

Strive for the honor roll?

Nah that was a a long time ago

Before Sixth grade when I left behind my soul to get paid

And now a dozen lost friends and two suicide attempts later

There’s times that I covet ya’lls end

Cuz you’ll never be abused again

Or be confused when you lose a friend

Or bare accountability because you choose to sin

You get to stand before the father

Untarnished when he woos you in

As for me

I gotta make the best of my shattered dreams

Cling to my smiles though they few and far between

I’m a shattered king

Life never was fair

No wish for existence you’re better off there


[Hook: Sevin]

This will be where my bloodline stops

Why should I plant seed when the weeds eat crops

Momma always said there’d be bad days

But she never said I wasn’t bred with these bad ways

Father never told me life would scold me so coldly

That I’d lose most of my homies

How could they know my life would be this rough

I don’t want my child to see this stuff

Uh

This will be where my bloodline stops

How can I plant seed when the weeds eat crops

Momma always said there’d be bad days

But she never said I wasn’t bred with these bad ways

Father never told me life would scold me so coldly

That I’d lose most my homies

How could they know my life would be this rough

I don’t want my child to see this stuff
