Just when you say it's all too much I gotta get away
That's when I feel the pain inside I know it's real

Verse 1: Awon
I was spawned in the prison industrial complex
Inglis Hell's Fort Greene projects
My grandfather was the connect, uncle the muscle
My father's ambition was committed to the hustle
The everyday struggle is a catch 22
Contribute to the genocide and you can die to
Survival of a few, to never say what you won't do
If that bitch poverty come for you
Huh, many lessons I learned, my respect was all earned
Blocks I burned without a lot of concern
But when a court is adjourned and the gap with who's your fate
You realize brutal and beautiful share the same face
We share the same place a good four square blocks
And a box we cracking cops trying not to get shot
Maybe make it out the pot before the lid is on top
I rather rot then to not buy my freedom chase the guap

Verse 2: Skyzoo
Yeah, they said it's brutal and it's beautiful, behind me of it right, heh, okay
You capable of doing any of this other that how you knew it
And anything other than my pursuance
Of a crown be now or a day from
Tag forever I don't whether to pass it to my same one
My new me, cause truthfully all of this is inspired by inheritance
Get it so my son can cosign with high leopard
Cuz most of who see of, don't ever think to leave much
Train a thug same way it was but who proceed us
Somewhere signaling me up, know I made believers
Out of all who saw it differently, all the shit they said to me
Become another never mind and it inspire them to mimic me
But fuck if they define what I did for me
I did for me what I did for you, took it to mean more
And treated it like nothing else matters long as the beat on
Cuz all of this could've turned into a different aim
I could've turned into my youngin missing his place
But never that, nah, nah never
