Mobstyles - Lessons

I ain't goin lie at nighttime I still cry
But I made a commitment to myself so ima still shine
And I made a commitment to my dreams so ima still grind
And I ain't going stop till everything I want is all mine
Feel this
Ain't goin lie nigga my heart hurt
Growing up where I'm from
You gotta survive the hurt
Can't show too much pain
Even when ya mans in a hearse
Won't make it pass 25
My nigga the city is cursed
Lost my homie who was there on the porch
So I throw a L up then follow up with a torch
Pulled me down when them angel escort
Make me wanna give up like mission abort
Gone
Sorry mama for the problems I caused
I know I promised I wouldn't do this no more
I gotta speak from the heart
Don't you feel the weight up on my shoulders
I got a feeling and I can't control it
Looking over my shoulder
Thoughts overflowing
This is more then just a rock or boulder
How you suppose to be free
Running to an owner
Caged up with no key
Slowly growing older
It's hard to live in this city
Where it's grimy and shifty
Where you fight for your life
Or ride with a semi
Where they bodying babies
And they mommas go crazy
They addicted to the thrill
Like crack in the 80s
Are you listening to what I'm saying
Black kids
So feared
We ain't mentally ill
This is what was instilled
A little Suicide pill
In the hood where we meant to just get killed
Now it's time to rebuild
Ain't goin lie nigga my heart hurt
Growing up where I'm from
You gotta survive the hurt
Can't show too much pain
Even when ya mans in a hearse
Won't make it pass 25
My nigga the city is cursed
Life was crazy
Blame the city that made me
Place that drove me crazy
Runnin shit since a baby
Damn
Life was crazy
Blame the city that made me
Place that drove me crazy
Runnin shit since a baby
Damn
Dr.King he walked for us
Talked for us
He was the one who really wanted more for us
But Malcolm he fought for us
Taught us that being black is just perfect enough
That any means meant enemies
And life ain't guaranteed
These men really moved mountains for me
Am I imagining things
I'm a G.O.D
God Of Devotion that's what this all means to me
To have my family and others to just believe in me
So While I lay the seeds
I won't Rest In Peace
Cause my big brother isn't here standing with me
So next time we gone take it to a higher degree
Confidently
I'm not a rapper, keep sleeping on me
Cause one day I'll be the greatest MC
Long live my nigga Lou man
Love you bro from the heavens to the earth
Ain't goin lie nigga my heart hurt
Growing up where I'm from
You gotta survive the hurt
Can't show too much pain
Even when ya mans in a hearse
Won't make it pass 25
My nigga the city is cursed
I was scared to live free
Thinking bout repercussions and what could they be
Seems like the future running from me
And time just sumn that I can't beat
I can't see
I can't breathe
