Planting The Roots Only To Fall Out The Tree

[LIL CIG]

Time's still changin' cause brothas turnin' into snitches

Time's still changin' cause brothas turnin' into snitches

Time's still changin' cause brothas turnin' into snitches

I keep on, I keep on

(Time's still changin' cause brothas turnin' into snitches)

I keep on, I keep on

(Time's still changin' cause brothas turnin' into snitches)

I keep on strolling with no control of my thoughts or life

Seems like my home has become something I can't recognize

Doubters turn to believers but fuck, I'm not surprised

I miss my cousin so much, yet he's still by my side

Crazy how friends switch it, asking how they can get a picture

What happened to "what's up homie? How you doing?

Goddamn, I miss ya"

Don't want to be nowhere else, so I'm making myself

Create this hell in the place I dwell

Stuck in an open cell, take me back 'fore the levees fell

Time's still changin' cause brothas turnin' into snitches

Time's still changin' cause brothas turnin' into snitches

Time's still changin' cause brothas turnin' into snitches

Time's still changin' cause brothas turnin' into snitches

[7TH WARD LORD]

Yeah, I be that 7th Ward Lord with them devil horns

Born and raised in the waves of the storm

The flood has left me wet and torn

The Garden of Eden destroyed by Babylon demons

They poured the chlorine with no warning

Petals on the floor freezing

A world once unexplored

I think I'm Marco Polo covered in thorns

Set my compass to avoid tethered forms

New Orleans is war torn, I ain't betting scores

And all of my friends are now whores

And I'm bored of all the replication of the life

I once lived in the city I once adored
