How many lives burned?
How many hearts turned?
Hoping the good in my heart my mind follow
Wash these stains off my soul I’m knowing this time borrowed
Will these fractions of past endeavours go block my destiny to a better me as karma moves to assault?
Misfortune hand me the rope
I cannot retie
My knees held the concrete before I sung my way out of its lies
Spoke on the breadth of my life
Cut short as I do amount to nothing
Face turned away from The Saviour
Tongues cursing I won’t escape from
These leaked ceilings
Piss stains
Blood stains
Losing friends at young age
Silence when the sirens rang
Mama tears when rent came
Scarce meals that’s affecting your frame
Dad’s neglect on your pain
But as long as I’m alive
I’ll try to thrive through trials it’s one way this ticket
The trap, the fact I couldn’t turn back if I
I stayed and prayed one day this weight get suspended
My sun won’t set wherever I step I must
Be a hundred in going hard
Though failure creeping with torment no fear should stay in my heart
My back push off against the war
Try teach us they couldn’t reach us it’s limits to where we are
While letting us see there’s more
I gotta get free
Won’t see me lay underneath
Six feet another child from the hood whose potential was reaped before light could harvest the seed
That trauma stay on repeat
But Ma don’t you worry there’ll be no untimely weeping for me or mouths kissing salt in their teeth
My bruddas tell me to go keep pushing we at your back playing spinal
Who brave enough to try rival they at your neck to castrate though
Circle your block in orbit till that hype forever dormant
They turning up with the b#llsh#t what am I to do
I just play it cool
When I scheme I only deal in power moves
No favour in playing safe if you’re bout that then you’re excused
Switching route
Leaving those who had commit to bend the truth
Scary views
Seen them fall before they dreamt of pinnacles
All the lives the streets had abducted
Broken vessels of hate that contagious if you ain’t run quick
Devil seems to have fun here
Poverty’s breaching smiles, know we rejecting its reverence
Tired of looking up just to find our joy at a distance
But I see how far we came though we burdened with pain
Bellz my brudda keep your head up know we rising again
Slyfa know I’m proud, taking off and may you never touch the ground
Slim, Thirty, Flee been pioneers from the soil
Takes, Mikz, Adz, Goggs, my gennas know that it’s love forever
Val and Slash got my heart love for checking up on a n#gg#
H and Reals my role models you got my hustle on double
A’s grown to the best of us he now a different kind a trouble and so
It appears that maybe there’ll be a change in our fate
My heart cry at heaven for my people that it was too late
You the reason I’m on this run and never looking back
I’ll reach that light before it fade to black
I swear
I swear
I swear I’ll do the most before I turn ghost
How many lives burned?
How many hearts turned?
How many hearts turned?
