What's poppin on the avenue
What's poppin on the ave?
Wackest rebel you know
J-walking, cutting class
No ass let my pants sag
Boggie take a few drags
On my way to Hasty Market
Might call in sick
To work I'm late again
Can't wait till I can finally quit
I plan to do a lot in a day but now I forget
I found myself in a staircase
Making bench off a front page
Newspaper taking tolls on death
Well as far as myself
I ain't needing no help
I've got no cash, shadowed past
And I owe moral debt
But I'm gonna light it up
Until these walls start to sweat
But you don't understand the meaning of a "hot box" yet
Until you disrespect my family
That includes Tyrell, Savy, Jessie
That's a side of me that you won't believe
Cause I smile too much
And act too nice, that's a bet
But I can't wait till you leave
So I can smoke by myself
We just out here making sense of
The crumpled cards we was dealt
And I swear, I will, yeah
Oh I swear, I will
A flock of black birds up in the sky today
That's all I saw
Best thing about my day today
That's all I thought, that's all I thought
My heart so full
And my heart stay pumping blood
And I'm on a quest for truth
Though physically I'm locked up
Are we locked up?
Yeah
Forget what's on the avenue
What's poppin with your mom?
Sad to say with too many people
I broke a bond
But it had to happen
And I'm still filled with passion
If there's ever problems call me
You know I'm bout that action
I'm not really into making moves
But I know some dudes
Who know some dudes
I had to dead that old me
To come back brand new
Shout out the bad chicks
Who this year are back in school
World built so broken but
I'm convinced we won't lose
We finding out inner truth
I try to remember when I get the blues
Cause yeah, I've done some shɪt that I ain't proud of
The type of shɪt my mom would cry about
Hate so much to regret
And it's only cause I used to lack respect for myself
And it's okay cause I'm still here and I'm doing my best
Learned that anything that stress me
Just no good for health
Feeling to listen to what my body needs
Forget all the rest
Cause I'm too old to be saved
And I stay a hot mess
But I'm gonna clean it myself, yeah, oh yeah
I swear, I will
A flock of black birds up in the sky today
That's all I saw
Best thing about my day today
That's all I thought, that's all I thought
My heart so full
My heart so full
And my heart stay pumping blood
And I'm on a quest for truth
Though physically I'm locked up
Are we locked up?
Yeah
And I don't stop for nothing
I came from the ground
And went for something, I
Won't stop till I find that something, I
Won't stop till I find that something, I
Yeah don't stop for nothing
I came to the ground
And went for something I
Won't stop till I find that something, I
Won't stop till I find that something, I
A flock of black birds up in the sky today
That's all I saw
Best thing about my day today
That's all I thought, that's all I thought
My heart so full
My heart so full
And my heart stay pumping blood
And I'm on a quest for truth
Though physically I'm locked up
Are we locked up?
Yeah
We locked up, yeah
We locked up, yeah
We locked up, yeah
Yeah
