808escape - up the block lyrics

intro:
you getting high already? it’s just 2 o’clock
d-mn, it’s that late?
you smoke to much of that sh-t, it’ll rot away your ambition
not if your ambition is to get high and watch tv
got no time for fake jacks
brother stop faking jacks
brothers who fake jacks get laid on they backs

‘my misses, my mother, my sister
and my brothers’

verse:
i need to find my voice
i need to find my sound
i need to get up out this void
get out this sh-tty town
cause everybody in my neighborhood
n-body wanna stay for good
and i don’t know how you ever could
but mama you can rest -ssured
your baby boy is making good
and making payments like he should
and after the pain that you’ve endured
it’s only fair that i could mature (grow up)
but maybe it’s a little too late
every f-cking day i show up to work late
i know you said that i could maybe be great
but i think maybe saying that was a mistake
i pray the lord don’t ever take my mom away
but if he does i pray the lord my soul to take
every single day i think back to 4th ave
and all the great times that you and i had
thinking back like that always made me sad
yeah it always made me a little f-cking mad
that all i ever had was a deadbeat dad
okay i guess some had worse than that
remember you and i were gonna go for a walk
get some ice cream from right up the block
then we turn around the corner couple neighbors get shot
n-body ever heard so n-body called the cops
and ever since that day man i always thought
the way i’d go out was me getting popped
wish i had a life to live
but i ain’t got a lot to give
now pacifists and activists
they say is not the life that we should live
but they ain’t done sh-t to help us
people round here can’t afford to take the bus
and every building filled with rust
and everybody say that its a must
to get they fix of meth before they bust
everything will be okay
we go to sleep and then we wake
and all the problems from today
they all just seem to go away
all the pain and all the hate
all of that was yesterday and now it starts to fade
if only everything could be done with such ease
then every person here would get up off they methamphetamines
and no i didn’t grow up in the ghetto
but sh-t around here never really was mellow
and it wasn’t like i grew up with my own meadow
getting gold medals, everything i wear aero
predominantly white doesn’t mean it’s alright
not a single soul should have to fight to get a meal every night
while some are all tucked in tight
others on the streets trying to make it though the night in fright
trying to fix all the problems in my own sight
the only thing i have to my name is this mic
