sf state of mind ft. TeeQ Lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

People falling on the pavement all the time

Even I been scared of dying San Francisco state of mind

Why're you fighting with your brothers mama's scared to go outside

Even when I end up dying San Francisco state of mind

Help is coming but it's often too late

It's an Alcatraz trap gotta flow to escape

You grew up there in SF proper

Bet I rep for the Bay bet it's young Son of Paper

They'll remember the name but

I don't wanna drink I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna think I don't fall asleep

Tourists coming for us call em Keith Lee

But it's hard to love the city that don't love me

I'm unwelcome in the places I like like like

I hate saying hate saying goodbye bye bye

Caught inside this social scrutiny

People living life foolishly

We all love assumptions til it make something out you and me

Care more about the truth when I die put that in my eulogy

Hoping it's not soon noticed we losing queens and losing kings

That's why I show the love planting good rooting seeds

Praying they all bloom to trees

Food for thought fruit to eat

Not where I would like to be but trust me fam I'm soon to be

Way I wear my heart and mind

Like belts to waists and shoes to feet

Making songs as catalyst that heal the hurt and move the weak

Know we all love bangers but when I hop on I soothe the beat

Some don't ever show you love until you past and you deceased

We choose to be like crabs in buckets trapped inside cruel to see

So tell me now who is free

When most don't got no room to speak

Comfortable rocking solo but know that my crew be moving deep

Some livin in super speed but me I'm living lucidly

One to be truthfully

Fresh to death too unique

There's no love left in my city

Where I'd grown up Frisco forgive me

If I move out don't take it personal

I'll be the person you raised me to be

There's no love left in my city

Where I'd grown up Frisco forgive me

If I move out don't take it personal

I'll be the person you raised me to be SF

People falling on the pavement all the time

Even I been scared of dying San Francisco state of mind

Why're you fighting with your brothers Mama's scared to go outside

Even when I end up dying San Francisco state of mind

Some of us gotta leave

Some of us goin stay

But we will all forever be

Children of the Bay

Children of the Bay

One day we'll find a way
