[Verse 1]
So mommy why you talking to me?
And daddy why you talking to her?
The dealer dropped it in the sewer
And daddy told them get to moving
My adolescence ain't no movie
I'm from the hood but was perusing
Something bit higher was a shoo in
Was sure to score like patrick ewing
Smell fire light like Jedi Ewan
When he be pulling sabers you is
Not too accustomed to this living
Neither am I but I can live with
Conditions that they make us live in
I see the denizens so livid
But even with this they solicit
The city is why I'm explicit
I learned this sh** you couldn't miss it
Heard all them shots and hope they're missing
Don't want my homies to go missing
I saw that heat just like an Ifrit
That's why I breathe instead of clipping
Don't want my funeral attended
Before I'm 80 like the section
That could be Tammy maybe Keisha
Pay no attention and they beat you
You ride in a hearse or ride the flow you
Don't have too many options...
[Hook]
I'm out of place
I'm losing face, and I can't stand straight
Intoxicated by evil
Just trying to escape
But my surroundings don't allow it
So when guns bang
If I'm the shooter then understand
I was trying to leave (x3)
[Verse 3]
After that I was a patient
Was strung out
Was trying fade
The memories of that place
I found it in deprivation
My cognitive deviation
Created the stimulation
That had me like inhalation
Of substances you could take
To ensure I fade away
Was living for yesterday
Was always stuck in my ways
Was hiding my true face
I wear the mask in this place...
