B Street and Lincoln by Kix Carter Lyrics
[Intro]
Rest in peace, William
[Verse 1]
Grew up on 21
My pops was missin'
Almost 21
A better life's what I'm wishin'
Searching for something
Something to believe in
I was in 4th grade
My mom by herself
A 10 year old
Should not be the man of the house
But it took 6 years
To get my gramps out the hood
It sucks he had to get jumped
For him to realize that he should
I remember at his funeral
Tears down face
Gun hit the air
As smoke filled place
Trying to keep strong
As I looked at my mom
She said it happened for a reason
I told her she was wrong
The cancer took my grandpa
The cancer took my friend
The cancer took more
And I wish it were pretend
[Hook]
But It's not like elementary
This city's getting crazy
Only full of memories
Wonder What's left for me
My friends turned to drinking
And I started thinking
No hope for humanity
On B Street and Lincoln
On b street and Lincoln
No hope for humanity
On B Street and Lincoln
[Verse 2]
I say this everyday
But I still miss my grandpa
Stress is taking a toll
And I can see it in my grandma
You know it's really serious
When you gotta bring God into it
Staring out the window
Wondering where all the time went
I remember all the nights
That me and my dad spent
Wishing things would get better
But they never did
He did so much good
That's proof karma don't exist
And I poured my heart out
And my Nana as a witness
Bring my sister home
So I can dance with a princess
Did so much bad
I'm just hoping for forgiveness
I....
Said I did so much bad
I'm just hoping for forgiveness
I still wanna be famous
I just don't know if they want it
Throw your two cents in
That's change for my pocket
I know a few kids
Wanna see me kick the bucket
[Hook]
