Alright

Alright

I was

Flipping over pages in my year book

Like “Damn look at how long them years took”

But them years didn’t prepare me for the world

I just learned how to finesse and earn some A’s off some twirls

Go to college or be another statistic

But I’m gifted

So just listen

To all the plots I be twisting

With my writtens

They say it’s different

Times is shifting

Pay attention

Crooked politicians

Ignorance explicit

And n*ggas getting shot over some Jays

Expecting us to survive living off of minimum wage

Roll another one just to get you half of the day

And roll one of you if you feel the same way

My n*gga mom still on section 8

His girl? The last thing he want to hear she late

Oh word! Cause if the child have a child like today

He says it lower all his chances of getting out of the place

And she just wanted to feel loved

Cause the lack of

Father figure she had growing up

So her mother

Working all these long hours

Just to provide for the kids but the sh*t get rough

Lack of guidance

Little providings

They hear them sirens

They frighten

Cause n*ggas get violent

They might be fighting

Then they hear a (Gun Shot)

And then the streets get silent

Then they friend on t-shirts

Just standing next to horizons

And bullets don’t got a name on them

It’s just like they wearing blindfolds how they aiming them

And they just watch the blood dip concrete they staining them

N*ggas was raised like this instead of help we blaming them

And I just want the best for my friends

Cause I know the struggle that our city represents

And overcoming obstacles that we was put against

This was meant for all the hood n*ggas posted like the fence

The streets is cold so bring your heat

We need growth so plant your seeds

They scar your mind so you won’t see

They forge your I’s and cross your T’s

The streets is cold so bring your heat

We need growth so plant your seeds

They scar your mind so you won’t see

They forge your I’s and cross your T’s

And uh

It does get cold

Get cold

Get cold

And with this I know

That it does get cold

Get cold

Get cold
