Song | Evolution Of The Kid |
Artist | Slaine |
Album | The Boston Project |
How’s it feel to be overlooked, underrated and hated, | |
Stomach pains in the belly of a city hungry, | |
If one of us made it to prominence is a mentality | |
Of crabs in the barrel of reality, it’s pretty ugly. | |
Well back up cause my story ain’t a fairy tell, it’s really real, | |
Ain’t had a chance I ain’t have nothing I could barely feel, | |
All I have is these neighborhoods I know very well, | |
In a fiery will, some pages in my diary I would spill, | |
Lyrics on my paper, violence around me, it’s on me | |
I blindly look through these books like a zombie, | |
Measuring these stories with these bare hands, pictures of this grimy game, | |
I stall it like a pilot in a kamikaze plane | |
A decade of pain, dudes know I’m a grown man | |
I live my life holding death inside my own hand | |
The kids that I grew up with, locked up, are inside a box | |
There ain’t no one in here, the only choice is fight or box | |
The music pushed me through the ghosts in the hall, | |
The toasters and the dope sickness and ferociousness and all, | |
The hopelessness of watching overdoses in the horror | |
Suicides and murders, I can't take this shit no more | |
I have these posters on my wall and this music in my room | |
It took me out my world, it would shoot me to the moon | |
Yous’ a fire burning, I’m determined from this hard learning | |
Put me on a different road, engine revving, tires turning | |
Ever since I’m 7 I just know where I got to go | |
Trapped in this vicious dome, but I’m back, this is home | |
They said I coulda been a star but I lost my logic | |
My heart is harder than the bricks in the Boston projects |
How' s it feel to be overlooked, underrated and hated, | |
Stomach pains in the belly of a city hungry, | |
