Apollo Brown & Stalley - No Monsters lyrics

They don’t understand the hunger where it comes from I was no ordinary kid in pajamas Shoeboxes under the bed with the monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters Shoeboxes filled with money and a strap Had dreams of being a dope boy way before I started rap We was locked in, nowhere to go, before they called it a trap And ni**as pushed the Cadillac before it was a Maybach They throwing dice at the curb everybody shooting a stack ni**as balling like Meech everybody livi'n off Pat Ghetto habitat, we was birthed in it Most say we unfortunate but we lit it up Matter of fact we put the torch to it Made a killing, turned minimum wage to millions That poverty hole ain't nothing when you got feeling civilians I learned early how to turn nothing to something Beat corruption keep your grip tight and keep busting That rules of the land get your tribe rich that’s always the plan Don’t let the white man stop you That’s always a scam Don’t ever let them put you down or put fear in your heart Stay ten toes and solid, don’t let them tear you apart They don’t understand the hunger where it comes from I was no ordinary kid in pajamas Shoeboxes under the bed with the monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters In the PJ’s in my PJ’s tryna drink liquor and smoke blunts Chasing behind street killers with gold fronts All my idols rolled caprices and Chevy donks And had bad chicks with pretty faces and fat bu*ts Most got rich off cocaine that was pure and uncut Family men ducking the law, trying to untouched Criminal hero's what a weird oxymoron Some get shot, some get locked, then they putting more on The cycles like a Ferris wheel but it only seems that we get killed Guns money and drugs, it’s like a Singleton film Rest in peace to him and all the fallen soldiers We was Boyz in the Hood ducking cops and cobras You know the snakes and vultures tryna to shake your focus Then violence in the hood was like a plaque of locust The way we killin' ourselves I never understood But ni**as die everyday, that’s what they claim in the hood They don’t understand the hunger where it comes from I was no ordinary kid in pajamas Shoeboxes under the bed with the monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
