aaron abernathy - restrictions lyrics
[verse 1]
outside, i must go
where i’m greeted by the pusherman
rain, sun, sleet, or snow
lord have mercy
outside, i p-ss corners filled with love and hate
mama wish me well
and pray for my fate
from the fast woman, crime, and cars
that patrol my boulevard
and i’m astounding that i grew up around this
and somehow i survived it
the hustlers and gangstas know them well
they’ve tried to recruit me since i was twelve
and i have fought it
i have fought it
you know nothing bout these projects
and the people who come up out of it
[chorus]
it’s your restrictions
that creates this jurisdiction
if you’re not willing to fix them
don’t go judging our conditions
there’s no economic balance
disadvantage is our challenge
don’t you turn your back
what you look down on you created that
didn’t ask for this environment
[verse 2]
inside, i must go
didn’t know i was a child adult
‘til i left my household
mama worked and i had job since i was ten
cutting gr-ss to make some dividends
bagging groceries to help pay the rent
the hustlers’ game was tempting me
but poppa he died out in the streets
lord knows i miss him
he’s a victim of the system
a real job he couldn’t get them
he was arrested at 17
once you’re in the system you can’t get clean
it’s hard to manage
when you’re caught inside this gambit
knowing there’s no second chances
no
[chorus]
it’s your restrictions
that creates this jurisdiction
if you’re not willing to fix them
don’t go judging our conditions
there’s no economic balance
disadvantage is our challenge
don’t you turn your back
what you look down on you created that
didn’t ask for this environment
no no
[outro]
lord have mercy
lord have mercy on us my god
lord have mercy
how am i suppose to survive on eleven dollars an hour
yeah
mmm mmm mmm
