lyrics

No stranger to hatred or pure anger
Ordinary LA pedestrian non banger
Looking for my community but they not there
Couple hommies who grew with me but chu don’t care
Stare throw ya fucking hands in the atmosphere
Walking through my city I be looking like what happened here
Imagine there sitting in the corner of the fashion square
Brown skinned nappy hair men showing underwear
(pause)
What uh tragedy it happens here
Then you got skid row the homeless people everywhere
Fiends living out of tents doing dope anywhere
5 blocks over you uh probably find a millionaire
(pause)
the shop mean dispensary
looking for the airport, take century
I learned to sell before I ever learned my history
Damn, come to think of it, it still is a mystery
hidden chapters, bad memory
so I suggest you stay away from bad energy
the news just showed uh shooting off uh Normandie
swat team got the block hot quarantine
(pause)
It’s a struggle in these ghetto streets
Everyday just to stay alive to say the least
Last week a lady asked me for a buck to eat
Hour later seen her buying crack up the street
(pause)
Finesse the Mic from a wack emcee
Couldn’t nullify the heat now he fast asleep
Eat the beat give it back to you no receipt
South LA still the central of the scrutiny

(Its for you to see)

So crazy, it saddens me I’m baffled
All these people waiting around for the same raffle
Momma say im good with the words cuz I play scrabble
Line to the end of the curb and it don’t travel

We all on the same channel
Video surveying our life through uh clear panel
Google Map relating the shot on the same gravel
Things I gotta say for ya mind to unravel

Hip hop help me tell the story
Who’s the father I dunno know you should ask Maury
Every night I hear the sirens like its mandatory
The anxiety just heightens like inflammatory

Nothing changes you won’t even listen
City tripping, people scheming, kids going missing
Say uh prayer hiphoppas time to make uh difference
Look around this LA what is your position?
