I'm a game banger, I never was no stranger
Interlocked with the most danger in the slangers
I'm bringing the most flavor, I'm the product of desecration
Total annihilation, from under the fire blazing in the shell casings
Misery loves company, I'm with the thugs but he said he loved bumping me
Came from the same struggle, somehow I rose, grew up out the mud puddle
Out of a dark tunnel, the place we was all funneled when it all crumbled
I ain't your n***a, I'm a gorilla, crazy how it all made me and I'm war waging
Shoot without hesitation, I need some reparations, f*** your apologizing
Murals ain't symbolizing what you minimizing, now that we enterprising
They wanna join forces cause the city rising, praise for the foundation
Built on the backs of the rappers, they wanna make us an arc
To carry us further and faster, but I feel enlightened to tell you
We ain't gon' be on these
It's all just a part of the game, I'm playing my part in this chapter
But this ain't the route I'm embarking, I'd rather invest in no parking
My only concern is my portion, they say I'm the future of fortune
I was supposed to be born rich, but that s*** just wasn't important
I can see crosses on standpipes, ash burning in the north wind
I heard a mob is approaching, calling demonic emotions
I'm finna nab me a f***, never let them catch me loafing
Young life
I reckon it's a blue moon
I reckon it's a blue moon
Ayo, it's something in the air, I feel like it's the last days
Adamate on my journey, I walk over mass graves
Generational trauma, I'm stuck on the last page
Tryna rewrite the story, I look at the gas gauge
It's empty just like the north wind, I'm stuck on the last page
We barely got gas stations, rolling up on the porch
I think back to the past days
As soon as we shot the ball, they came and they castrate us
Burning down n***a cities, put kids in gas chambers
Funny how it was missing from history class papers
But if you gon' write us out, we need to see a check
They eatin' greedy, got me feelin' like I'm DMX
Excuse me, but we need some reparations, f*** a BMX
My generation never got to really see success
My n***a see a judge before they see a check
They lit the match and they keep askin' us why we upset
It's all good, just sit back until you see success
See what's next
Now we a threat, cause they don't like the way we mixin'
And in fact, these n***as dirtier than ice in Flint, Michigan
But everything is us and feelin' came to get it lit again
Walkin' through my city like I'm A.J. Smitherman
If I let you n***a take over, I f***ed again
I need bands, I'm talkin' Grants and Benjamins
New game plans to pass down to apprentices
Black-owned brands, school banks, and businesses
Hey, I'm from the city full of broken hearts
The night's cold, all we know is dark
So many tears through the years, mightn't even know what's up
We had a lit and now it's dark
Then they stole the spot
To all my n***as in the town that just wanna rebuild
But don't know where to start
The time's comin', keep your heart
