about

Inspired by conversations had with some friends of mine. IN short, I never knew until a few months ago that the reason it seems so easy for immigrants to start businesses in black neighborhoods cause they're able to get loans to start them so easily whereas it's hard for us to get those same opportunities.

So we try to get it however we can.
-------
Living on the streets a freedom fighter deceased/Come into a place where the future at decrease/And knowledge of self stay at a low/Cause knowledge from these schools make them babies feel alone/My house dilapidated the food full of mold/Gotta find a way that I can get it on the low/Cause my baby blood sugar is way too below/Maybe get a couple loads/Gotta find a way to cope/What kinda thinkin is that/Move a few packs/They can make you some stacks/Why you hesitating/Always contemplating/Wifey sick of waiting she bout to pack/Make a killing at expense of your hood/Who gives a fuck they aint did you no good/Fuck being good nigga you losin' focus/Only way out of this place shit is hopeless/Nigga I'm tired of all this shit/Tell me why life always gotta be such a bitch/Why I gotta be on the block just to get rich/Why I gotta get fuckin shot just to get missed/Know them fuckas setting this shit for us to fail/Can't even start up a buisness where we dwell/Won't give us loans like they do to immigrants/Fuck it I'ma get it however I can/

This for my niggas living bad...
Dreamin and Thinkin of getting things we never had
Thinking things over and over and over again
But fuck the world aint no such things as friends...
That's why daddy's on the move
That's why momma's on the move
That's why brotha's on the move
That's why yo sista's on the move

Living on the streets a freedom fighter deceased/Come into a place where the future at decrease/And knowledge of self stay at a low/They take away the books and the healthfood sto'/Chitlin, ramen noodles, diabetes, saying kudos/To the people got our blood pressure similar to a sumo/Wrestlin between my consciousness analogous to judo/Shadowboxing in my mind between good and evil/And I can't explain this feeling failure/Surrounded by these crooked characters/Ghetto so much trouble living hell/Empty coins into a well/Cop a brick or stop and hit a lick/Mob a bitch or stop and clip a pig/Rob the whip or stop and split a wig/Not too many options for the kid/Nigga can't take this shit no mo/Why you gotta say get money but stay broke/Doing everything to get rich and stay po'/I'm tired of living out a stereotype bro/I'ma try and figure this out my own way/On my own terms fuck what all these rappers say/And to my niggas hustlin and bustlin/Living through the pain/Feeling like they drowning in the rain/I say

Hook
