Haven - The Apartment lyrics

[Verse 1] This is my testimony So I'mma start it off by saying That anyone is forgiven as long as you keep on praying The motivation is shaking His hand and saying you made it I'm - portraying, making a plan displaying my vacance I'm on the tip, climax, peak or whatever Speak of the weather, it's raining, and I need a umbrella Like where the sunshine? I need that sunshine Aye momma open up ya eyes and watch ya son shine I ain't with the gun crimes, but I got these dumb rhymes Reminisce on fun time, cutting thru them lunch lines Them "we had to run times" I didn't grow up in the 'burbs I grew around some n***as who was pearlin' up them herbs In the 5th grade, is when I was introduced To the marijuana smoke bitin' like a recluse Was fighting in school, because the hardest was cool And now I'm realizing that the fight gon' harvest in you When all my homies joined a gang, man I felt so lame Decided to use my brain, to overcome all this pain I knew that I had to change because I can't live the same I went from drinking at parties to pa**in' 'round different strains Like, "Lord...Please forgive me, cause this is my apology Do you roger me? diabolically I'm a prodigy." Who is hot as me? Man I ought to be in a odyssey So all can see that I'm a beast, this flame inside done started me like [Hook] Life on the bottom Life on the bottom, life, life on the bottom Life on the bottom, life, life on the bottom But look where we started, yeah at the apartment, at the apartment Life on the bottom Life on the, life on the, life on the bottom Life on the bottom, Life on the bottom But look where we started, yeah at the apartment, at the apartment [Verse 2] But now I'm coming in stronger, with the heart of a lion Daughters crying cause they tryna keep their fathers from dying Sirens multiplying from the way these rappers is rhyming So I'm real with the flow, and now I'm here with the timing And to the man upstairs, I hit the ceiling with a broomstick Help all of my n***as I hope they don't see a tomb quick Praying for my family, all the people that I room with Make the goons quit, cause the government don't do...shhhh And just keep it on the low Cause I'mma rep my city every city that I go And I'mma keep it clean, I never call a chick a hoe So to every fast girl, I advise you to take it...slow And don't let go, cause, things ain't the same And, friends changing, steady re-arranging But I ain't complaining I'm hard as a rock Making changes, like a brother partied with Pac Now I ain't saying that I'm perfect, cause if she start t**n I'm certain I'mma let her work it I'm lost but I know that God is gon' help me do my searching, the devil is lurking, my n***as definitely murking, like what the word is? Temptation got my heart racing I'm breaking my obligation and chasing what I been facing, I'm facing all of these cravings Like how you gone judge Cause my name is Haven and finally piling my buzz [Hook] [Verse 3] I swear my mama been working so dang hard Paycheck to paycheck no days off As kids in the hood we just wanna play ball I'm looking at the bills, I'mma get this paid off Y'all stayed soft...I got harder Kept my head on straight Absent father but I know I'm finna turn out great Turning papers in late, I've been focused on this music They say it's impossible, watch a young brotha do it Kids starving, at the apartment Its more than music, it's where my heart is It might be sunny outside but it's darkness Inside, I let the pen ride when I spark this...
