Perspective Lyrics

You a slave to the streets

That don't love you

But it's them same simple thoughts

That keep you under

I got some family members

Who can't count they blessings

They survived so many things

But they still out there stressing

I can't leave them behind because it'd haunt my conscious

They just need to realize

Who they confidant is

A big part to this hood thang

Is feeling ashamed

To break to them chains

The devil in your mix

Prevent your change

And you a lil closer to heaven

Everyday

Plus you gotta watch your back

Cause they will kill you for your pay

Surround yourself with like minds

When you living this life

You might find

It takes time

To realize

You gotta watch for these snakes disguise

Cause they be speaking on yo name

And spreading lies

They Spreading rumors

Get you caught up with the flies

I know to many

That ain't never coming back

Because they died

Before they made it out the trap

All of a sudden he was mobbing strap

Shot him dead

While he was leaving out the house

Received the news while I was sleeping

On the couch

And mental health

A major problem where we from

And every on the block

Got a gun

Can't even think straight

But he rolling with the heat

Then we wonder why there's blood all on the streets

If we ain't killing each other

It's the police

It's lose lose in these streets

There ain't no peace

I feel like Martin Luther king

The way I preach

If you live long enough

They'll turn you to a beast

Turn a gangster to a ghost

Give me the sheet

Another person

Now a prayer

Where the priest

Another face for a shirt

Or a sleeve

You a slave to the streets

That don't love you

But It's them same simple thoughts

That keep you under

I got some family members

Who can't count they blessings

They survived so many things

But they still out there stressing

I can't leave them behind because it'd haunt my conscious

They just need to realize

Who they confidant is

A big part to this hood thang

Is feeling ashamed

To break to them chains

All this negativity

There ain't no ain't gain

Man you tripping if you think

That this a game

Shit i done felt

Man I will never be the same
