Key: E Minor


🎸 Chorus:
Em
The rain couldn't understand it
Em
The pain made them understand, shit
Em
The sun tried to understand, the gun made me understand
Em
The wind tried whisperin' the warnin'
Em
The land shakin', plus the rhythm is enormous
Em
All the forces like a portal to a vortex
Em
Connected to the stars, just projecting where we part at
Em
Pull up where you park at
Em
Aim a little dart (Lil' bitch)
Em
Where your bark at?

🎸 Verse:
Em
It'd be a shame if you stayed in them 'partments
Em
12 barely еven came to them 'partmеnts
Em
Catch a play then parlay in them apartments
Em
I swear it's like a party every day in them 'partments
Em
You was raised in them 'partments, dang
Em
Jump a shot or join a gang in them 'partments
Em
My mama say we gotta get away from them 'partments,
Em

Em
And it ain't gotta end this way 'cause we ain't start shit (Huh, look, okay)

Ain't nobody give a fuck when Tay was dead in the street
Em
I don't do the shit you see on the screens
Em
I been tapped in with true things
Em
I peep your rap cap and I unscrew things

Em
Can't talk about that shit from— (You gotta chill out), you seen Fox?
Em
Lisan al Gaib, I see a tiny line of silver
Em
A way to make a play, although they say it's unfamiliar
Em
It's off the kilter, I say the words without a filter
Em
You gotta have nerve, it'll make you strong if it don't kill ya
Em
I'll put a bullet in Bob the fuckin' Builder
Em
'Fore they try and kick us out the building, what about the children?
Em
When I check a news channel, I get a similar feelin', but still
Em
We gon' make it to Heaven, high water or Hell
Em
But don't take the highways
Em
285 behind the damn wheel, it's like a driveway
Em
Givin' all I could give Christ and I'd do it twice
Em
Shai Gilchrist, heard thunder hit with lightning
Em
And still I didn't feel shit, talk about resilience
Em
Off of Stone Mountain, Lithonia where I honed into my brilliance
Em
It was after then I took my talents right up to Virginia
Em
Heard they said the shit for lovers, shit was gutter, shit was gritty
Em
I could tell you what it was,
Em

From lookouts, then we meteor to suppliers

Caged in, one way in, one way out
Em
Robocops on mountain bikes, ain't pullin' mace out
Em
Just tryna get back home from gettin' chased out
Em
A week ago, a boy like me don't got a face now
Em
The 'partments, the projects, the ghettos, all the same shit
Em
Crazy how we hopscotch and Double Dutch danger
Em
'Tween ADHD and all the pills that you gave us
Em
How we supposed to process this anger?





🎸 Chorus:
Em
The rain couldn't understand it
Em
The pain made them understand, shit
Em
The sun tried to understand, the gun made me understand
Em
The wind tried whisperin' the warnin'
Em
The land shakin', plus the rhythm is enormous

All the forces like a portal to a vortex
Em
Connected to the stars, just projecting where we part at
Em
Pull up where you park at
Em
Aim a little dart
Em
Where your bark at?

🎸 Verse:
Em
My ghetto's not your culture, niggas really die here
Em
So hard to say goodbye, it's the only lullaby here
Em
Kilos turnin' boys to men, gotta pick a side here
Em
Some were Jesus Shuttlesworth, some of us were Nasirs
Em
As time goes by, it's an eye for an eye here
Em
My niggas mob deep, the fittest gon' survive here
Em
We New Jersey drive here, chop shop, ride here
Em
This jack in the box shouldn't come as no surprise here
Em
You niggas rent to own, street cred gets denied here
Em
Section  livin', we treat it like a timeshare
Em
Mother, auntie, cousin, couldn't tell you who reside there
Em
But never seen a father that was government devised here
Em
Conquer and divide here, crash and collide here
Em
When kings can't raise a young prince, the doves cry here
Em
Candy lady right there, zombieland right there
Em
Them 'partments be the perfect backdrop for any nightmare
