1000 Days by A.Buc Lyrics
Look i was posted in the whip tryin hard to relax
But its hard to talk myself down when my stomach keep talkin back
Ain't complainin bout the hunger although i am behind a few meals
But the sickness in my stomach comes from thinkin bout how you feel
Born into a system thats designed for you to fail
Where your only options are an early grave or go to jail
And no wind in your sail
No chance for you to float
Cuz they wanna see you drown even if they have to sink the boat
And thats self-destructive
Feels like we must’ve strayed away from what the USA use to say when constructed
Like everyones created equal and has rights
Cuz for some reason some people still feel like they have to fight
So look me in the eyes and tell me the justice in that
When people still lose they lifes and its just cuz they black
From cops who jumping the gun when they was trained to react
The shit been weighing on my brain its so insane that we lack
A sense of decency
Cuz recently
Theres no respect for others
All i want is real equality and clean water for my brothers
And sisters!
And if that should become too much to ask
Then i just pray we face these problems cuz for too long they’ve been masked
But the truth is ugly
So don’t you judge me
Or try to Budge me
Ima hold me ground even with God looking down above me
Yea the truth is ugly
So don’t you judge me
Or try to budge me
Ima hold my ground even with God looking down above me
I mean it
…[Talking Bridge]
Look I could tell that it was tainted way before they ever tested
You could tell by how it tasted they just scared to send the message
In fear for what people’ll think
But now people fearing they sink
Have to second guess themselves before even takin a drink
And look half of the city gets sick if they drink the water
Then taxed for no health insurance so why the fuck should we bother
Guess Ima have to go farther
This was only the starters
So if you was tryna stop me you should try a little harder
Cuz look I’ve seen some things that ain't right in this world
So I’m writing these words
In hopes one day they might just be heard
And resonate with someone else to do good where i went wrong
If it could impact like that then its definitely worth a song
Im definitely going strong
Until I’m bringing it home
Until my mother, brother, family and all of my homies on
And my city sayin I’m gone
But thankful i put ‘em on
Even if it take me writing all night and into the dawn
Cuz look I’m workin like i got no time to chill
Cuz i got no time to kill
I just got rhymes to spill
Because my mind is ill
And my city is sick
So both of us need a fix
And i ain't talkin bout from the bricks
Im talkin bout for the blocks
Cuz shit ain't right at the spot
And summers always be hot
So I’m hoping this one we drop
And yea pardon mine if I’m spittin harder rhymes
But they still ain't fix the water lines even after all this time
Yea pardon mine if I’m spittin harder rhymes
But they still ain't fix the water lines even after all this time
Look Im getting high as the time passes by
Thinking to myself why we was raised up near the Fli
But told to stay away and only play in light of day
Cuz if you mess around this way you liable to catch a stray
At least thats what they say
And then for some they taught
But me and my brother would still hit the streets right after dark
And bless my momma heart
But that shit played its part.....
But its hard to talk myself down when my stomach keep talkin back
Ain't complainin bout the hunger although i am behind a few meals
But the sickness in my stomach comes from thinkin bout how you feel
Born into a system thats designed for you to fail
Where your only options are an early grave or go to jail
And no wind in your sail
