j.larry - cain griffin lyrics
verse 1:
no one to save us
grew up under three older sisters
who later
would find passion
in hood n+ggas & playas
i learned from em—
& what not to do
only logical
i seen it all—
but i don’t know a thang mr officer
that’s how my father raised me
oh yes, i grew up with my father baby
& i’m filled with all the wisdom
life has gave him
that’s only right though
40% of black males
can dodge the system
& live to break the cycle
& i’m no different
at 20 i was blessed
with a vision that’s so vivid
got a dream then n+gga
let’s go get it
don’t be a lame
sitting around
while thе seasons change
everything that you wantеd to be
we became
just cause you decide to leave
we remain the same
plain jane n+ggas
hoopin at cain griffin
to sunday night softball
fades & foot races
ain’t no one in the world
that i’d chose to switch place with
chorus:
caught up in the lifestyle
(don’t get caught up in the lifestyle)
caught up in the thrills
(don’t get caught up in the thrills)
from the dark, into the sunshine
(dark into the sunshine)
blood, sweat and tears
born to do anything
ain’t never been afraid
can’t keep this black man down
(oh no)
no you can’t keep me down
verse 2:
n+ggas like me dawg
we came from the mud
only privilege was hard work
the pain & the blood
you a lame ass n+gga spillin dranks in the club
we just get it how we live
no thanks where we from
& what we wanted the told us
un0btainable
mission was to it get it
no one was coming to save you
d+mn &
the message was stone sober
my eyes cherry pie
what i’m smoking was flown over
& it landed in my hand
like the gift of this rap sh+t
i’m a man wit demands
see i+ put us on
i got fans out in france
& parents still don’t understand
i plan to expand
yeah+ cause i gotta loud soul
& every
wise man should seek council
aye
that’s what i’ve learned
through my ventures in life
& i’m planning to live it long
cause i’m doing it right
