S.I.N.Surviving In Newark by U.Freedom Lyrics
Verse 1:
Look, I said July 21st, on a hot summer night
Bought through the universe, eyes locked on the light
93 was the year, Bill Clinton up in office
The Star has appeared, Mother Earth she exhausted
Womb full of stitches, a room full of witches
Was doom from the start, the world ruled by the wicked
Before I existed, my city was twisted
Mental lock dreadful, plus the water was mystic
Fine mist in the air, many eyes couldn't catch it
So many didn't care you would've sworn thеy elliptic
Dark view from percеption, but here's a question
Should Mother Earth used contraception?
Here's a better question, Did Older God do inspection?
Falling off the edge, Did he study his lessons?
Afraid not, he got trapped when the cage locked
It took a long time for the pain to stop
Chorus:
He was born up in Jersey
At Midnight on a Wednesday
For the blood they was thirsty
For blood, For blood they was thirsty
He was born in New Kingdom
Greatness it was in him
Thank Allah that he made it
And Love, from his Loves that he made it
Verse 2:
Sheltered in the concrete jungle, they was having some wars there
Started off humble, now I'm training for warfare
Is it all fair, nah the dealer's corrupt
They screwed us over so much, that we can't get it up
Crack took away the manhood, wrecking up a fam good
Government cheeses, we survived off of canned goods
Government treat us like a laboratory process
Turned us into rats, we resided in the projects
Moms, Aunts, and Uncs lived up in Prince Street
Never lived there, but their struggles, they're within me
Raised by the crack babies, Reganomic victims
Sickness it afflicts them, psychologic symptoms
Is apparent today, a parent today
Is only mirroring the child that was here yesterday
Momma just a little girl, poppa just a lil boy
In the playpen, mind's it was used as a toy
Chorus
Verse 3:
It's year 24, tryna live 20 more
24 plus a 20 equal up to 44
That's a 20 24, a Gary and a Kobe
Got my gloves on tight, for the work that lay before
Future on sight, gripping like an anaconda
Accurate like a mamba just a reminder
To my own self, that's my daily affirmation
Had some setbacks, so I made some alterations
A change in the gameplan, had to call an audible
Mind full of substance that could never be soluble
Keep it plausible, think and speak into existence
This world a workout, you'll get stretched for resistance
Sweated for persistence, embedded with consistence
Marching with endurance make it better for the mission
So look within yourself, you don't need no permission
Regardless of condition, never give into submission
Chorus
