King 810 - Write About Us lyrics

I hail from a place where nobody wants to come Cuz you better bring a gun and you better not run And I grew up with the pushers and the k**ers and the thieves But some students and some artists and some workers knew me And we all had that in common and we had this place And we'd grow up to be dead because our city breeds hate And the only way to beat it is to run I mean Cuz the shots keep us awake so we never can dream And they whispered unto me write down what you've seen So the world knows our story and were finally free They said we need it right and you're the only one we trust So promise that you'll write about us Girls want me to write about sneaking through their windows And the drive ins and the parks and the nights by the lake And the boys want me to write about sneaking through windows And the fights and the shootouts sponsored links When we caught that case And we were on our own and we never came home And it was us and the night and we made the most If you ever make it out write down what you've seen So we all live forever and were finally free They said we need it right and you're the only one we trust So promise that you'll write about us So tonight I sat down and pulled my head out the clouds And I closed my eyes and I thought out loud I haven't seen Veronica since I told her how I felt And the twins OD'ed And Sarah sells herself Maxine's on the needle Kelly's man cuts her up I see Kristy where she works and she don't bring the past up Heathers had a few kids and I still see her around but I can't bring myself to speak to her I just look down Daniel I'll get your k**er and I swear by that When I see your kids face I wish I were where you're at Tasha escaped yeah she moved out of state Opies still in prison for that murder in 98 Jays in the cage until 2025 And D went in but he ain't come out alive Joshua's dead I held his head while he bled And I found xxxxx body and I'll love her till I'm dead And they all said If you ever make it out write down what you've seen So we all live forever and were finally free They said we need it right and you're the only one we trust So promise that you'll write about us
