[Hook]

I come from nothing zip zero

The bottom where it get so

Difficult we tip toe through the stuggle

We hustle just to cut that check

The upper edge want another respect

You feel the neglect

Say wh-uh oh

Pound and respect

Youngsters so stressed

Watching them detects

Let me hear you say wh-uh oh



[Verse 1: Slaine]

Ketchup and french fries

Chocolate milk and grilled cheeses

My grandmother's kitchen

Statues of killed Jesus

Neighborhood felons with bulges from loaded pieces

Out the window hang in front of the problems

I can see this

So who's the gangstas and corrupt polices

Who grew up the street with both sides you cuss and eat with

Yeah you caught between the friction

But addiction's just a secret

We speak in codes, no one outside us can't peep it

I went to church at sixteen looking at his coffin

His last thought was that his dope habit hadn't caught him

I stared at the stain glass

Apologize for that abortion

My soul is not for scorching

I'll adopt an orphan

When I grow up I promise honor on the church steps

On almost the same spot [?] Percosets

It wasn't on before the heroine schemes

'Cause I'm a blue collar hood in these American dreams



[Hook]



[Verse 2: Reks]

That's on my mama and my papa

Full of drama man it get worse

Nanna and my grampy started psycho wasn't rehearsed

They birthed a motherfucking genius, is he cursed

Yes sir was extra extra extra nigga-ish

Bitch don't kill my vibe

Chris don't give no flies

Fuck you when love of your lives

Daddy died barely knew him, barely cried

Belly of the beast, belly full of hard times

Rhyme in new times crimes is usual times

I'm unsuitable for this fucked up design

Through the I'm gonna go to college talk

Did the hip-hopper walk, sip the alcohol

Fuck the law naw I don't fuck with ya'll

No need to discuss it all

Large balls in a small pond

Pebble from a rebel, uh

Brother here, he gon' try to mourn what's been destined

Ignore no more books on my lessons

Listen



[Hook]



[Verse 3: Termanology]

We come from nothing zip zero

This is where we come from

My grandma and my mama smoke so much they got one lung

My man just got three years in jail

He only had one gun

His BM got another man changing his daughter bum bum

When your eyes are full of tears

Pouring molly in your beers

And you party every year

'Cause it's part of your career

And you hardly open your mind

'Cause you blinded by them parasites

Using drugs and alcohol adding strife to your damaged life

Me I must survive my block was hotter than lava

As a minor I barely see my father so what's the karma

'Cause we never kicked or pitched a ball

Pissed I'm missing my dogs

The pedophile that lived upstairs from me was scary as all

Hell is what we going through

Let me get a loan or two

I'll pay you back when I get my taxes

My rent is overdue

I represent the struggle, the poor and the misfortunate

So you can keep the bottles, them crumbs and all them whores
