banggz - jostice lyrics

[intro]
if i survived jos then i can survive you
yeah the fam lost a lot but i can provide you
my mind is full of thoughts, come be my disciple
i’m kinda fond of the idea that life is a cycle
let it breathe

[verse 1]
i lived in j for a few years back when i was little
it was cray. every new year, we’d celebrate the little
and we have to the few there who suffered detrimental cases of poverty
pardon me, part of me an anomaly
come take a picture
come get your close up
i’ll get you closer to the face of an immortal
obviously my mortal mind won’t let me fathom immortality
but if you don’t respect survival, that’s some immorality

[bridge]
yeah we had a crib
we had the food
we was good, for the record, like we was made outta vinyl
if i showed you how we got to lagos man that sh-t would blind you

[chorus]
brain knock
pikin dey cry
my mama shake so tey she no fit to drive
papa dey work. him never return
today today, we go komot the domot
brain knock
pikin dey cry
my mama shake so tey she no fit to drive
papa dey work. him never return
today today, we go komot the domot

[verse 2]
hate in the eyes of the opps, blood on the leaves
bodies on top of bodies all in the streets
gang wars that you’ve seen couldn’t compete
i saw more than you’ll ever when i was three
riot broke out in the hood after one cl-ss
me and mom and my sisters had to run fast
pops was still at work. work can probably hurt him too
probably hopped into his car soon as he heard the news

[bridge]
wake up and smell the coffee
i heard the guns were c-cking
they stood on mommas car with gasoline and tried to pop it
momma said say your prayers
sisters were yelling prayers
i was just watching the mobbing then heard the coppers coming uh

[bridge]
if i survived jos then i can survive you
yeah the fam lost a lot but i can provide you
my mind is full of thoughts, come be my disciple
i’m kinda fond of the idea that life is a cycle
let it breathe

[verse 3]
welcome to the land of the wicked this is j
j-town isn’t the same as yesterday
haven’t been there in a while but i’m hearing that they say
me and the fam were right to move our things away
pay attention to the next few bars i’m boutta rap
if i had died in j, i’d never have to make the track
you’d never have your body swaying the moment you hear the beat
i’d never have the privilege of learning arabic
never had moved to lagos
never would watch the show romeo that would later cause a 9 year old to get to rapping
never had faced fears
never would feel the hate
never had make friends like you to later be betrayed
never had heard the lies
never would speak the truth
never would idolize the rappers that be rapping too
never have to learn to make beats and mind you
if i survived jos then i can survive you
i did jostice!

alright wrap it up
