Exile - Place to Go lyrics

[Produced by Exile] [Verse 1] Are we honestly programmed to hate one another? Throw hands, bare arms, release fire on this cold land New minds confined by old plans No more romance, no more slow dance Shawty twerk somethin' for me Or dehydrate from your thirst for the money, sugar Instead of BET it's EBT Dreams that don't pa** the TV screen, sh** Maybe I'm an exception, the one who counted his blessings My adolescence was more like a mountain of lessons I had to climb, a certain truth I had to find Took the good with the bad combined And it's nothing nice But hey, this is life I understood the value before I knew the price I had a heart, it turned to ice Some of us have visions, some of us just have sight, you know [Hook] (x2) You know you know You know, you know, I know I'm out my mind, sometimes unusual (Wa**up bruh) On my grind the usual (Stay up Fash) I got no other place to go [Verse 2] Each memory accumulates like puddles of rain The gray swallows the daylight, a lot has changed Since I said hello to 21 Runnin' towards the same world y'all was runnin' from Some say it's 'bout to end, I say it just begun I could never be over but it can come undone When you chose to give guns to the young child Boom on to the old Satanic scriptures and scrolls turn hearts cold It changes mind Ain't sh** changed in these days and times n***as still aimlessly committing heinous crimes Pan handlers on the corner with their favorite sign Wishing to the stars, hoping one day they align Since the day they let em burst on the scene I walked around like I had the Earth on a string Look at me now, a king from a shooken up child How couldn't you be proud y'all? But you know [Hook] (x4)
