lyrics

I’ve been running through the field
Deep up in my pain
Flipping through these pages
Tryna see my people change
All they wanna do is kill
Poison through they veins
Had to go unpack all the feelings they obtained
Baby laying in the crib
Hope he never change
Hoping that his future becomes brighter than a stain
Hope you feeling what I feel
Hope you feeling what I feel
Hope you feeling what I

Seen some people who had bussed up the block
Pray to god that they loved ones didn’t get shot
Moving bricks while we run from the cops
Keep a piece just in case a opp nigga really tryna get shot
We at war but the reason is thin
Instead of fighting foes we so stuck on fighting our friends
I mean we never really thought about a real reason to win
Through generations our main desires has weakened through sin
Through many men the bigger picture has started to fold
Cold tears down his face tryna touch on his soul
Whole lot of bloodshed that my people indulged
We ain’t even get a thank you for the things that they stole
All this trauma, building up for some centuries
We sit down and correlate with the enemy
And all these bad vibes fucking up the energy
And you wonder why we can’t go regain our synergy
Fucking with me mentally
I then lost some people who were friends to me
Damn
Wish I never gave them peace
Wishing somebody can take me where I really need to be
I’ve been running in these streets
Feeling lost and defeat
I been tryna find a way
But they stuck up in they ways
I was hoping things change
But they never really changed
With the power that we gave
We been lost within the faith
Can you stay up in your lane cause
I been going through somethings

Yeah
I’ve been running through the field
Deep up in my pain
Flipping through these pages
Tryna see my people change
All they wanna do is kill
Poison through they veins
Had to go unpack all the feelings they obtained
Baby laying in the crib
Hope he never change
Hoping that his future becomes brighter than a stain
Hope you feeling what I feel
Hope you feeling what I feel
Hope you feeling what I
