Beginning by Henry Elias Lyrics
It's not a living if you ain't gon' get the funds
It's not a living if you're shooting off the guns
I'm kinda tired of just living for the fun
It's not a living, oh, it's now a living, oh
Baby boy, get your ass all out of bed I'ma
Teach you that living's so much better than you read and that
Interaction ain't all better in your head you
So much better now go make yourself some bread, how 'bout
Kids these days ain't been chewing no tobacco
Shooting guns 'cause they seen it on the video
Make me nervous as I'm walking in the church, how 'bout
You take your jacket off you making me upset
If 9/11 never happened, maybe daddy wouldn't cry
Standing undеrneath the tower looking up into thе sky
Watching all the people that he never even knew
Too soon, baby, too soon
All of the reasons
My heart was barely beating
Too many people are gone from the neighborhood
Make 'em nervous, man, he running close to bed time
He can't hear 'em, make him wish he read the hand signs
Out of breath he can't catch up with his mama
Turn around he can touch on the impostor
I can't breathe too loud like an animal
All that puff, puff will turn you to a vegetable
I'm tryna see some real shit, something sensual
They running faster 'cause they pockets filled with fentanyl
They running faster 'cause they pockets filled with fentanyl
They running faster 'cause they pockets filled with fentanyl
Blessing up the whole town like he Santa Claus
Make the town think they at a fucking festival
Cross eyed, cross eyed
Even if he blessed himself with down time, down time
People still calling up his phone line, phone line
Asking him if they can get they fix
I'm yelling, oh my god
Who am I?
If 9/11 never happened maybe daddy wouldn't cry
Standing underneath the tower looking up into the sky
Watching all the people that he never even knew
Too soon, baby, too soon
All of the reasons
My heart was barely beating (My heart was barely beating)
Too many people are gone from the neighborhood, yeah
Help me and my partner go to sleep on a Wednesday
They shooting out my window, I don't care what the news say
They murdering my brothers, I don't care for what my blood say
Don't get tricky, now I see the banners
Wave the flag around like you know and understand us
Double the caution see the signs of Alabama
Wave your hands around like a fabricated dancer
No more tears, baby
No more, no more tears, baby
If 9/11 never happened maybe daddy wouldn't cry
Standing underneath the tower looking up into the sky
Watching all the people that he never even knew
Too soon, baby, too soon
All of the reasons
My heart was barely beating
Too many people are gone from the neighborhood
The neighborhood
It's not a living if you're shooting off the guns
I'm kinda tired of just living for the fun
It's not a living, oh, it's now a living, oh
Baby boy, get your ass all out of bed I'ma
Teach you that living's so much better than you read and that
Interaction ain't all better in your head you
So much better now go make yourself some bread, how 'bout
