Sapient - Justified Street Actions lyrics

OnlyOne: I just took a look across the street and there's the ATF On my rainy deck, baby steps away from crazy meth I black out, from a heavy dose I wake up To find my dad's house filled with federals and Jacob Sippin' my Henny slow, I break up My head is in my medical And I blaze a blunt but you already know I let the pencil just explain it I made getting dead presidentials detrimental to my situation Why do people cherish the greed and respect while Single parents have to bleed for their checks now? Careless I can't be with connects Cause that's when you get them Sheriffs That breathe down your neck They got me checking if I'm still alive, the force isn't there It's like it's wrong to look upon someone's misfortune and care We drink away our problems like we got endorphins to spare The bank and ATM became a place of worship and prayer A free man I can supposedly be But I need to eat and I can't get my groceries free Life is kind of like an egg when it's over-easy And I sure as hell was never born with rosary beads Mother's concerned Handing me money to feed my hunger to learn But I won't take it, I'm as stubborn as her I need no man's help My dad wanted to, but I'm responsible for my own damn self I try to picture right without the bad My father hit his wife So in turn I learned to fight and live a life without a dad What about the past? You is who you is I never said my situation was special, it's just the truth, ya dig? I was born with ill fate, all the poor can relate I ate off poorly built plates on the floor from milk crates It's either eat your spinach or you get a whipping, fool But now I'm grown and getting spinach what I'm fin' to do To the poor this isn't new, but to the rich it's like an interview I'll answer the questions so y'all can get a clue We've been abused by this ghetto economy My man Ron had been accused of federal robbery And to think a friend of me, now in the penitentiary Reading letters he sent to me, I bought books that'll set him free I fear not those who k** their body, so I let it be Eventually I guess I'll just get whatever is meant for me I live my life for what I do, whatever happens gon happen I don't have to justify my actions I live my life for those I love, whatever happens gon happen I don't have to justify my actions
