Through the Cracks of Concrete — текст песни (Brother El)

Wake up, wake up
Wipe the sleep from yo` eyes
I feel stinky .. not because I ain`t washed up
Because I`m crowded by immense clouds of bull{shit}
Hmm

[Chorus]
A lot of brothers be screamin out
They draw from a solid foundation
Hollerin out different gang nations
I`m patient, I stand firm
My heart`s racin, bullets grazin, it`s amazing

[Verse One]
A road, scrolls through the cracks of concrete
Broken glasses under my feet
Respect for nature seems to be obsolete
I feel cheap, peep - peep
My people take but don`t give
Some get past the street, some forget about the crib
and where they used to live
They say you`d do it too, if you only knew what I knew
Cause everytime I come around I hear the sound of the full clip
Unload, unload, reload, huh
Explode the stray bullet caught the shorty in the back
That`s wack - he never got to finish his second lap
on the schoolyard track, and
never got a chance to compete in the spelling bee
He worked so hard to see
His parents knew about gang violence
but never thought it could be their kids silenced.. silenced..

[Chorus]

It`s amazing..

[Verse Two]
Down the block, shorty talk a lot
A swoll head, blowin up the spot
I got this I got that, cops heard about the drug spot
as his lips poppped, and even as he dropped dime
Lyin, on the nation operation
Just to save his own {ass}
from that green grass long break downstate, heh
I`m straight - at least that`s what he thought
Caught by those loose words, that travelled back to the hood
And O.G.`s understood, it was time for pay black
On his head back was a Bounty, for the quicker-pick`m-upper
For him and his brother (yeah)
It`s a sad song, but crime goes on
In the streets of Chi`, brothers die in the dope game
Ain`t {shit} changed but the name
The game remains to be the same..
The game remains to be the same.. it`s true

[Chorus]
