burbose - once upon a time… lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
once upon a time
there lived a mobster
with nickname ‘boxer’
he told his 2 sons
never get involved in his lifestyle

the older son smart, but soft one
the younger troubled + a hothead
he died + it got the older one f+cked up

he never been the same
and threw all chances away
disgrace to his family
what a waste, as they say

but how much shame
can one take ?
the ‘boxеr’ never expеcted
older son to become one of the ‘shameless’

[verse 1]
back to the street
when it’s snowin’ + it’s even better
i ain’t gotta think bout philosophy
mythology, biology, + only surroundings
look at the hospital + it’s sm dirty cheap
i don’t want ma grandma end up here
repetitive, but these thoughts
bother me fo’ real (fo’ real)

hussle sm dirt in here
gotta go big with it
blueprint ‘biggie+jay+z’
how many people here from 2016?

one is k!lled
one od’d
one in prison
one gone missin’ fo’ last 6 years

and i still
tryna move in this wheel
but it’s hard to believe
after so many years

snow too white +
it hurtin’ my eyes
but it hides the gutters

so i lowkey like it
99 % comin’ from china
if ma generation was embodied
in young man
his brain would be fried brain

i see ol’ buddy
he lyin’ fo’ money
i’d give him a knife in the side

fo’ his poor mommy
she’d be be cryin’ in grief
but relief would come with some time

cos her kid was too weak as a junkie
i’m cynical
cynical as everyone on da block here
everyone’s market
cos everyone sufferin’
everyone soft here
cos everyone…
everyone…

[verse 2]
who da f+ck is…
that?!
turn ma head:
mof+cka whistlin’
outta window
remind me to look right and left

fo’ ‘em trash
they never sleepin’
like sm sharks
smell the bleedin’
racketeerin’ the whole city
small fish get 15 fo’ rico

jewish link
offerin’ sm schemes
take ‘em like my dad
history repeats itself
and i never believed in the ‘apple and tree’
but i guess, as they say, there’s first time for everything

meetin’ between holy church of maria
and armenian cemetery —
the night shift

what the plans fo’ halloween?
— same as easter
and as christmas
holidays?
whatchumean?
weekdays, weekends
supplyin’ cripples

i hear ‘barzini’
— it’s fo’ me
nickname’s sticky
no one know our real names
like we don’t exist
tryna be invisible under cctv

i ain’t got no time
tho still rhymin’ — as we all
just fo’ slightest chance to live something behind us
and even tho
we always hidin’
we so scared of dyin’
and just get forgotten
like we never was around here

all we hope
to become
is ‘once upon a time’

[outro]
fo’ dem our lives
will be ‘once upon a time’

all our stories, gory
just ‘once upon a time’

all our struggle, troubles —
‘once upon a time’

all the grime, cries —
‘once upon a time’

all the rhymes —
just ‘once upon a time’

‘once upon a time’
‘once upon a time’
‘once upon a time’
‘once upon a time’
