1
[Hook]
2
Yeah and I remember flamin' hots and cheese from out the cornerstore
3
Stole these jeans, I sell 'em, I'm gon' buy me 20 nickle dros
4
Dime rocks and nickle blows from niggas who ain't here no more
5
And talking to my brother every week from off that prison phone, may never come home
6
[Verse 1]
7
But black son gone hood rich from a broke home
8
Judges biased skin tone, no fighting when it's guns drawn
9
I remember finding that revolver, I was looking through my closet
10
Try' to find my remote control car charger
11
Wish I knew then, things I knew now but how it goes down
12
Aimed it at my head and make a gun sound, ain't that a bitch?
13
Adolescence ducking opposition, don't get too attached
14
We made it through too much and ain't no looking back
15
And opposites attract so I'm a magnet to these bitches and bitch niggas, that's tragic
16
I'm out the mall cause they plastic, why pass the ball with my handles?
17
It's off the wall, yeah I'll stand it
18
Had a dream I wasn't stacking, I woke up screaming and gasping
19
In the studio jamming, listening to Deelo Peace
20
And no religion shit, Chiraq look like the Middle East
21
And white kids deal with problems that we never knew to bother
22
Arguing with they dads, we pray we ever knew our fathers
23
Release day 2050, he'll never meet his daughter
24
And trust that mothers bought a mirror at himself, look in the mirror and see myself
25
Look in my eyes and see my hell and every tear I ever spilled
26
Every problem resemble hell, when every day is jail
27
I used to hit the blunt and get lifted and then envision
28
Making college tuition flippin' a hundred chickens
29
Now up in the corners where killers used to inhabit
30
They built up the new condos, that's what our project building
31
Raised by the movers and shakers and life takers
32
Proper preparation, prepare for where life take us
33
Blame it on the family structure, that's the news anchor
34
But the teacher only taught us excuses for our behaviour
35
[Hook]
36
And I remember flamin' hots and cheese from out the cornerstore
37
Stole these jeans, I sell 'em, I'm gon' buy me 20 nickle dros
38
Dime rocks and nickle blows from niggas who ain't here no more
39
And talking to my brother every week from off that prison phone, may never come home
40
[Bridge: TheMIND]
41
I used to dream I was from somewhere else
42
Somewhere [the sun don't?] wanna go
43
Found myself at the corner
44
I'm gonna [go?] for the cornerstore
45
[Verse 2: Saba (Joey Purp)]
46
I left my house this morning with the intent of returning
47
The last thing that I heard was the news of a murder
48
That wasn't more than a couple blocks from where I rest my head
49
But I'm certain that it was a stranger, that's how I detach myself from the situation
50
My grandma asked if I had everything for school
51
Seem like she growing more overprotective as I get older, she lost both of her sons
52
And I can feel it when she kiss me, she don't sleep 'til I get home
53
And she don't like me in the city
54
(Grant it's nice in penitentiaries, I paint a picture that none of you get
55
Police still shooting niggas but I ain't scared of shit)
56
It's hostile out here as everyone have a bone to pick
57
I look my granddad in his eyes and said I'll be home at 6
58
To get to my bus I gotta walk pass the thugs on the corner
59
And even if they know me, they gon' try me like some fucking foreigner
60
Flash in the die pack, yelling good now, good now
61
They do this every day and I tell 'em that I don't smoke shit
62
My best friend from when I was 11 posted with the weapon
63
Acting like he do not see me stepping to they section
64
We used to hoop daily and treat it like a profession
65
And now I'm walking by him like I'm some type of pedestrian
66
I went to private school with most of these guys
67
But ultimately I'm the only one who tried omitting the crime
68
I turned the corner with caution and approach as I walked to the cornerstore
69
There I passed the fiends, it seems all of 'em off it
70
I just wanted them 50s, juicy crunchy curls
71
I just wanted a little hoopty in case that train derail
72
I missed my bus so I get to school and I'm late as hell
73
That block and monster hoping they can make a sale
74
[Hook]
75
Yeah and I remember flaming hots and cheese from out the cornerstore
76
Stole these jeans, I sell 'em, I'm gon' buy me 20 nickle dros
77
Dime rocks and nickle blows from niggas who ain't here no more
78
And talking to my brother every week from off that prison phone, may never come home
79
[Outro]
80
I need to escape now, now
