LOE Gino's Interlude
(专辑: The Chang Project - 2017)
[LOE Gino:] Outcomes and situations, I'm built for it Being steadfast is a
skill for it If you fake, they'll punch you in your grill for it Die over money, you can bet there's no chill for it Kill for it in the
pursuit for what we never had But having nice shit was really ever bad It was my mom and my niggas, it was never dad Lingering clouds over my head that'll never pass Live fast, it ain't a
lot of opportunities Visions of men with the
same skin shooting me Polluting me, diluting our history No wonder why my niggas stuck up in this misery No sympathy, no empathy if you switched up If I'm tucked then I'm tryna get my chips up No switch ups on my niggas 'cause it's just us I
be damned if I
let this world lynch us [Nef the
Pharaoh:] Now I
lay me down to sleep, my soul will never die Power to the
people, we gon' always multiply I
got scars on my back from the
whip and the
slaves got I
picked the
cotton for the
clothes that I
rock It's deeper than the
music, I
am heavily influenced By my own tribe, I
don't even got ties Still I
rise, Maya Angelou was the
antidote Having nightmares of my family on banana boat They would've tried to swim but you know niggas can't float Donald is the
president and still I
can't cope Mama be telling me son I
see ghosts Cops shot another nigga at the
liquor store Will I
be another face on the
milk carton? It's kinda hard for me to tell when I'm a
fucking moving target Hit the
panic on the
key, I
can't remember where I
parked it When I
go out, hope they sell my organs on the
black market [LOE Gino:] A
victim of struggle, I
see the
beauty in it Your skin is a
burden, they label you a
menace You can put in the
work, achieving every limit In the
end they'll label you another nigga Too dependent on basketballs and rap books When that fail look how glamorous the
trap look I
hold you down, if you get pissed I
got you fat books I
still wonder where we'd be if we had books Sad looks, these cops crooks an institution It's a
problem with the
youth, I'm seeing no solution Young niggas in the
city taught to act stupid You think we did it to ourselves then you fucking foolish Cops shooting and I
hope I'm not next up My niggas walk to the
store, they gotta vest up My niggas out past ten and they check us Five cars for one nigga when they sweat us Fed up, but we take it in stride We gotta learn how to live and not just staying alive When the
income come then we splitting the
pie You not woke then you living a
lie, nigga
