歌词
I grew up in the same place
Where? got shot in the face
I saw abrahams brains, split on the pave
Jumped off the block
Right where the kids played
We used to sit everyday
Chattin shit, we all strayed i guess
We didnt see the urban decay
From my angle I can see the ghetto burnin away
On the crowd, find my soul turnin away
Theres kids 16, burning the a
Chris learnin the game
I said a prayer for the pain
As i stand here
Watching the world go round
How it always keeps me down
Is it supposed to be like this, like this?
As we rise
To gain an edge in life
Someone always seems to try
To come in the way
Is it supposed to be like this?
I come from a place where
You cant tell whats round the corner
Goin to jail, for fel
Getting fucked up
Like them little black kids from bronts tale
Well
As long as we're living in hell in the streets
Violence will always grow
I can tell u a thousand tales
Documented in detail
And most niggas can relate, round the world
My nigga Carat got found with bullet bounce from his chest up in the ATL
Papers hate me well
Im trying to revoke the violence
Not promote the violence
This is my broken silence
And you can hear my screams sounding at police sirens
Im trying to fight back
Like my nigga little byron
Just as long as i love and stay vibrant
I shall prevail, I shall not betrayal
I shall put my hands up, at the end and say I dun well
Only time will tell
But still
As i stand here
Watching the world go round
How it always keeps me down
Is it supposed to be like this, like this?
As we rise
To gain an edge in life
Someone always seems to try
To come in the way, (Last verse coming from the heart)
Is it supposed to be like this?
I guess we need more stability
Just like wen ure imprisoned in the ghetto
And its gettin to me
To the point where im feelin institutionalized
Look in my eyes
You see pain in it, but u can decide
Whether i stay attractin', packed in
Or fly from the restrainin the force packed in
Inside my brain, but, i proclaim, that
I will withstand, the rating
What did u get out this game plus
The media, the government
Try to blow us
But they cant out the flame
Or doubt the name
Shit, and ure revolutions bout to change
Trust me, sitting round tables with their ties and shirts
With the lust to discuss me
You disgust me
So i must be, as level headed as i can
To never back pedal on the plan
So we can all hold hands together
Unite so we can live as one
As i stand here
Watching the world go round
How it always keeps me down
Is it supposed to be like this, like this?
As we rise
To gain an edge in life
Someone always seems to try
To come in the way
Is it supposed to be like this?
As i stand here
Watching the world go round
How it always keeps me down
Is it supposed to be like this, like this?
As we rise
To gain an edge in life
Someone always seems to try
To come in the way
Is it supposed to be like this?
