Repeated Cycle
Black man in the projects
Basketball or prison prospect
We’re to believe that concept
Some don’t live to 21 before they got slept
Shows sometimes it good that you gotta rep
She get around sometimes it ain’t good that you got neck
I told my teacher it’ll be nice to be president
She asked if I lacked common sense
And smacked back to this present tense
I’m suppose uneducated
Controlled and gated
In my hood then become a criminal come up in yo crib and raid it
Or sellin packs of mineral when all of a sudden a bullet that stray hits
No brain connection
No bars equal no connection
Broke for years there is no recession
Future as bright as my complexion
Reveal no confessions
That shows signs of weakness and that usually when pecs spins
Told to be inelegant
Taught in to be niggas what a gent
Nobody tentative
Building tenement
In the basement you find body segments and removed ligaments
Whole bodies been there so long they started to lose pigment
Mothers life becomes destructive
When her sons time isn’t constructive
Then to lose him because no one said duck kid
Young sleepin with every dude in class
Pussy spread like bass
Dudes treatin them like trash
Lettin dudes lather
Swallowin dough batter
And dudes loves this
But forget they got a mother and a sis
This life is a hereditary trait
Dreams get killed follow the blood trace
