Lu Balz - Evolution of the Kid lyrics

[Intro] Hey, young world, wanna hear a story? [Verse] How's it feel to be overlooked, underrated and hated? Stomach pains in the belly of a city hungry If one of us made it to prominence is a mentality Of crabs in the barrel, reality is pretty ugly Well, let's back up cause my story ain't a fairy tale, it's really real Ain't had a chance, I ain't have nothin', I could barely feel All's have was these neighborhoods I know very well In a fiery will, some pages in my diary, I would spill Lyrics on my paper, violence around me, it's on me I blindly feel my books like a zombie Measurin' these stories with my bare hands Pictures of this grimy game I stall it like a pilot in a kamikaze plane A decade of payin tolls me I'm a grown man I live my life holdin' d**h inside my own hands The kids that I grew up with locked up or inside a box There ain't no runnin' here, your only choice is fight or box The music pushed me through the ghosts in the hall Toasters and the dope sickness, ferociousness and all The hopelessness of watchin' overdoses and the horror Suicides and murders, I can't take this sh** no more I had these posters on my wall and this music in my room It took me out my world, it would shoot me to the moon Yous' a fire burnin', I'm determined from this higher learnin' Put me on a different road, engine revving, tires turnin' Ever since I'm 7 I just know where I got to go Trapped in this vicious dome, but I'm back, this is home They said I could've been a star, but I lost my logic My heart is harder than the bricks in the Boston projects
