Buddha Avenue - Something Personal/The Outro
The town is up
And another cat who is working hard and investing into his self heavenly is Buddha Avenue
From north Oakland he got the song walk it like I talk
Just uh you know you guys keep your ears open for these cats
Their real guys and they deserve it
Aye my momma was a section 8 tenant
I ain't have them Jordan's back when we was in them trenches
I still feel the pain of being shackled to them benches
My momma in the courtroom praying God forgives me
I just hope when this time comes my girl don't forget me
Lord know that last sentence almost killed the fight in me
I had to battle back and show this world the light in me
Mrs Conn over time I hope you learn to forgive me
I foolish back then I couldn't find the love in me
Now and days I smile more and I surely love plenty
Cause Zariyah little hands came and touched the soul in me
I still think about them days when my pops would come and get me
All them summers in the north man we use to have it litty
RIP my brothers but forever they are with me
Feel like Phatal and Leeotis was the only ones that get me
Got left broken hearted when our dearly departed
But I bounced back from it just to finish what we started
I had to go the hardest and cop a foreign that's retarded
So I can look my best as I pull up to the Gardens
So smile for that black boy he finally got his wings
It be hard in them Ghettos when you broke chasing dreams
Sleeping on the floor use to hurt my self esteem
Now I'm somewhere out the country sleeping on a Cali king
Aye Shoutout to my team look we finally having things
Now we can laugh about them moments when we didn't have a thing
We use to ride the bus now we all riding clean
Maseratis Bentley trucks Chevy maros on the scene
My past life was tragic I ain't get to be a teen
I chose to rewrite my story and I came back redeemed
Look at lil Buddha all grown up doing things
We know he come from less and he never had the means
But know one thing he never gave up on his dreams
So smile for them
Black Boys who finally get their wings
Cause it's hard in the ghetto when your broke chasing dreams
I said smile for them black boys who finally get their wings
Cause it's hard in the ghetto when your broke chasing dreams
