Astro SZN ft. Keante Smith Lyrics

This is a story about, a young nigga who was

Tryna make his way out, but he ain't get too far cause

Niggas plotted on him, mama prayed to Yeshua

And people say he hung wit savages they never knew of

He had a best friend, his best friend was wild

He never met his father and he was an only child

The block raised him up and they kill to reconcile

He was a Shorty but he helped em make the bodies pile

Now the first boy was super meek and never street

His homie dead broke, he rob and steal that's how he eat

But the first nigga offered help like every week

He say it's cool I grind and hustle

I can never sleep

Now fast forward they in high school and shit was solid

His homie deep into that shit

He saying fuck a college

He knew his friend was super smart and was so full of knowledge

But the gang was all he knew and it was never stoppage

Shorty had a dream, wanted to make it out

But when he talk about the next step, his homie pout

That energy a throw you off, the jealousy is sprout

But how you mad cause he want better so he won't crash out

The kid just brushed it off, he stuck beside his friend

But little did he know his homie had some other plans

He ain't wanna be alone, so he gone drag em in

He wanna sacrifice the brotherhood for dead ends

Now it's a late one night, the block hot, them niggas sliding

Guns in hands, masks on, 6 deep, tinted, riding

Shots blowing, opps runnin, niggas falling, limbs tearing

Standing over one nigga, face shots, dead man

Hands numb, body cold, sharp pain in his soul

Now he in the house pacing, crying out, mental in a loophole

Homie call 'em, checking in

You good gang

It took a toll

He blew his first pole, he in shock, he losing all his self control

Now it's two weeks later, they not talking much

His friend ain't been at school, it's like he didn't give a fuck

This man was traumatized, his heart beats was in a rush

He was loyal but he never wanted guns to clutch

He needed answers so he pop up at his homie crib

Why you put me in this shit

I got a life to live

He had a scholarship and dreams was in that mind of his

His homie quiet tryna hear what his prospective is

His friend finally stand up to say the boldest thing

Right before he start to talk, his cell phone ring

He hang up and say let's go somewhere to figure things

He super anxious cause he don't know what this night could bring

They at a spot in the cut, and they walking now

You been my Dawg since day one, since we was juvenile

I took you with me on a drill to see my lifestyle

It's all I know, and since we did that, we relate more now

You put my life onna line for some clarity

Naw I had you slide wimme so you'd be there for me

I held you down regardless gang, I showed sincerity

But you sacrificed our bond out of disparity

Shit, he had to cut ties, its fucked up, at home he cried

He lost his best friend cause of selfishness and street pride

He let the gang convince him that his homie wouldn't ride

But whole time he was the only one by his side

Now his best friend into it wit the whole block

But he a top shotta nigga, he can't be a opp

The gang tell em stick with it or his boy get shot

A week later shorty died and his casket dropped
