subhas, lowkeii - hand me downs lyrics

Loading...

[subhas, lowkeii]
fly as h+ll, in my hand me downs
you could never tell, this is not for sale
in my blood, this is in my genes
every story that i try to tell
been through some things, i seen some things
before the age i learnt to spell
and every time my momma call
i tell her that i’m doing well

[lowkeii]
they say i was raised in the shade and i got no struggles to show
but they don’t know that i really came from place
they salted the soil and flowers don’t grow
how are we one in the same?
you don’t know shamе and i can see it in your face
and i’ve been like feeling a way
cos monеy don’t come easy when you the one paving the way
i gotta find me some rain
i gotta find me the truth
but what i find it and it does me no use?
i’m tryna put on the brothers
i’m tryna put on the folk
cos back then ain’t n0body show me the ropes
how do we expect them to grow?
how you expect me to hope
they k!lling my people for dope
[subhas, lowkeii]
fly as h+ll, in my hand me downs
you could never tell, this is not for sale
in my blood, this is in my genes
every story that i try to tell
been through some things, i seen some things
before the age i learnt to spell
and every time my momma call
i tell her that i’m doing well

[subhas]
90s kid +
but we had debts to pay so i’m living life in my 30s
paid in full, but this chapter i’m in opens up a new set of worries
i tryna’ put on for my city, put on for my people, put on for my self
where i from wears out its welcome if you ain’t well connected with the wealth
no money to live, no money to die
only one option it’s work 9 to 5
only checks we get is reality
outlawed some in laws in my family tree
the fruits passed down + poisoned at seed
the banks own our homes, yes in deed
nothing to our names, just loans and a lease
and you catch a case flipping pain to poetic release
when i sleep a night, i feel the pain, i hear the screams, of parents
of children returned in urns in the name of the of deterrence
i ask what’s the lifespan of a brown man?
hope it’s long enough to see change where i stand
what’s here is all we have, nothing left behind
the only thing handed down to me was time
the only thing i hand down might be these rhymes
so i’mma keep my head down + heal this time
hurt + just parlays + to the next of kin
and the ones we raise be the next to sin
the weight within, our shades of skin
where do i begin?
and one day i’ll play my records to my son
same time explain why i have a record to my son
the marathon continues, it’s a been a long run
and tell him what is handed down ends with me sh+t’s done
