Adolescence Lyrics

I done seen the drugs guns death and more tryna cope talking to the lord

Who what when where or why

All I know is tryna navigate the course of life

I grew up in a spot where the killers dwell

Used to witness deals on the block from 6 to 12

Kids throwing something up like they sick as hell

Tryna balance the weight of the world on a digi scale

That's facts every line I spit true

These ain't even raps I'm just rhyming what I been thru

Mom dukes mostly absent til the rent due

As a youth didn't understand why father left you

Broken household guess the love was out cold

Had me burning up inside wilding with the town folk

Misguided youngin blinded to milestones

How could I bring the bigger picture up when I was down broke

Truth told no I wasn't rag waving

Just an average joe but not the cat to play with

Its all survival til you find the path you taking

Staying real is mandatory if you plan to make it

I done seen the drugs guns death and more tryna cope talking to the lord

Who what when where or why

All I know is tryna navigate the course of life

Life as an adolescent was trifling

So broke resorting to throwing hands for excitement

Running streets without a car we was riding

Liquor store owner nervous soon as we inside it

Brushes with death will paint you a narrative

Money makes the grass greener there's no comparison

It feels like you spiting God when we pray to him

On both knees with a list full of outrageousness

It was hard to sleep when I heard the gats blam

Followed by the sound of burning rubber like the gap band

Toss your favorite rappers album in the trash can

These pricks ain't never seen the type of struggles I have

Nobody could predict how this shit'll go

Starting mornings off with no milk in your cereal

This ain't figurative the pain was literal

Situation critical enough to birth a criminal

I done seen the drugs guns death and more tryna cope talking to the lord

Who what when where or why

All I know is tryna navigate the course of life
