Chorus I'm living my own life Doin my own thang Singin to myself When no one is listening Just livin my life (just livin my own life) Verse 1 Just me in my own right now No one to take control right now Can't feel no weight to hold me down (Hold me down) But sometimes it feels there's just so much There's stuff at home, ain't the Brady bunch But maybe if I block it out With my headphones in n music loud

Intro Living in the concrete jungle can be quite a struggle when growing up they tell us to be silent That's how the cookie crumbles life is hard with money and violence and not to be accepted now people being separated by abilities well the poor are casualties chorus you can choose to be happy or sad or you can also be mad but you may never be glad but that's just living in the city (x5) verse 1 the way that we live is no acceptable sleeping on the ground and living in many obstacles drugs, money, alcohol making people sick but they can’t see it at all verse 2 the traffic on the 101 is killing every time i try to find a strategy sometimes i feel like driving on the see but most of the times i can’t breathe their will never be peace and quiet will their be i try to take public transportation but how can i really even pay when i get payed minimum wage chorus you can choose to be happy or sad or you can also be mad but you may never be glad but that's just living in the city (x5) Outro In this city you can get your gold silver or bronze you can complete your goals go down the right path not a blood bath in bad times sign up to the chimes now good bye and have a good time

Verse #1 The outcome the election is insignificant The real leaders and their businesses Will shell out dollars and indulgences Call me unimpressed But this system is as old as the nation is Why'd we move west Dolla incentive Gold silver all the rest that i can't mention If precious metal aint your game You can move your gaze to the islands that we claimed Every decision ever made In public, they still hiding in the shade Here's why this election is confusing to ya Motives shadowy reasons ain't blue to ya Verse #2 I'm gold as the gate, to heaven where my brother is heading. In the city where u get dropped for a dollar and fifty ,raise you hand in the air if u feel me. I feel like a caged bird and the gate is rusted, my hate ain't nothin. Shout out to the FAM in Lakeview who knew I was something. But the peer line is where the pure line stops. And the 39 lies start. Bart is the only way out but everywhere else they got they speech loud. And I got cavities so the sound might break a tooth ow. The world is on the prowl. For a dumb city kid who doesn't know how except for now he has a pow Verse #3 Lord have mercy on my body. Illuminate probably goteem. You can never stop me from speaking my mind If I was I blind I could still rhyme. Weather its hill or don't we all got conned. Both are blond and have no bond with the race of race. They want the space and think they're the ace. But they just late to the game. If the country catches flame, we're to blame? It's just a shame how we will be critically acclaimed for how low we became Dreams hit u like a shotgun. But they still ask what's he on

Verse 1 It's hard to fight a fear that can always fight back/ Meyday meyday we're under attack/. She's dead he's dead they're dead boom/ There goes another hashtag. And there goes justice for anotha goon/ People getting famous after they're gone/ they forgetting What matter while catching Pokemon/ Black lives are being so Disposable/ all lives matter for the incomprehensible/ Now People seeking vengeance on the 5-0/ fighting fire with fire gets no results/Mothers are crying, brothers are dying/and people are angry so anger is rising/ one less brother me one less father/ The balance between people getting farther and farther/ All this negativity is hard to contemplate / Like MG said only love can conquer hate/ Verse 2: I don't feel safe walking out my door/ Feeling so quiet feeling unsure/ Will I get shot, will I get tased/ please officer don't use the mase/ All lives matter that's a joke / Let's be serious we've been provoked/ Scared for lives seems there's no bright side/ But till this day we hide/ Hide from the ones that protects us/ But lately they seem they neglect us/ Feels like a modern day war/ Haven't we been there before/ Back in 1954/ Civil rights movement has just been restored/ Mlk said I have a dream/ It was a dream without the peace/ More like a nightmare with the police

Verse 1: Sometimes we be in our feelings just because,// we wanna go back to those kids without the peach fuzz.// Man I hate growing older I wanna refund.// ironically as a kid I thought'd be fun. // But when I look up at the sky I think of yall.// N how the lord gives me strength just to bare it all.// N u held out ya hands everytime I'd fall.// N I know when I need it I just need to call... You know I wouldn't ever ever try to let u down,// AJ King feels she can't wear the crown. // There's always expectations no salvation cause Im always downing myself even knowing when no ones even hating.// N everytime I'm in my feelings i start thinkin deep too steep things are getting heavy i just need to breathe.// I'm always getting caught up ha call me trap queen// yeah someone call up fetty yeah oh god please me I call.... Bridge: Hey Gela what you doing in 510 Hbu I wanna hang just like we used too I can try but I can't promise You always do this, what about us what about me u know how I'm livin, it's not how it used to be I know that you trying, but trying ain't enough Bro ur like me bestfriend n my tryin ain't a bluff I known you for 4 years and I'd like to reminisce U know I got love for u cause I all I know is since....

Verse 1: Off the flow Take shots aimed at your optical I've got to go I've got to know What it's like to make it in life They're taking your life So I have to survive Man I know that I'll make it so heavily debated Everybody hating Every saying-- I'm delaying Actually that's andele-ing Never complacent boy I am the greatest Of all of these rappers I'll ever be facing I'm waiting and training For all this hysteria Black on black crime yo I'm from the bay area Add white to the picture and it starts to turn to gray areas The day that I carry ya That's that 365 Boulders on my shoulders every day that I am alive Swear I'll raise the bar higher forever We'll never see eye to eye Ever under the same sun Run from my shadow as if I'm racing I'm contemplating the things that I haven't done Verse 2: A place with no faith to different colors and races left my mind evicted without a trailer fear on their faces everything is different for me friends to no friends its obsolete mom on trying to fit in back there different from me but I'm trying moving fast different places different raps different colors different laughs ooh I trip now I'm sad but I'm finding finding finding a way to make a change different name different man its never the same i just hope for myself and everyone else that we can stop with the no's and scream yes we can Obama gave us power and I'm giving the strength love can change an enemy into a friend learn that from Martin Luther Verse 3: Voice higher pitched than Dock Ellis is Relative killing with my lack of skill and melody I'm a half pint, half jew, half right sometimes Oakland is my birthright Third night gunfight Unfazed by urban blight It's quite alright 3 AM bay bridge, dazing Flagrant disregard for the rules that are placed in From designer crepes to raisins in the sun

Verse 1: I just want to show the world there could be love Through all the hate we can rise above Put down the guns and open your heart Hurry up society's falling apart Why do people tend to put ratchet with projects When it can be a struggle that could lead up to violence People being petty about the simplest things They forget the big picture that the world may bring Always worried about all the material things Can't expect a sound when you pull the strings Can't expect someone to love when you can't return Can't expect a fire that will not burn

Intro: War, ya war never changes look thru the history books they torn pages, all the pandemics that spread through the ages America went thru all the stages. Verse 2: Why are people races why do they judge them by their faces, why are people of color being treated like they are other, It’s so hard to change if one day we rearrange, Rearrange, if one day we rearrange. Outro: Why can’t we live in peace why can’t the violence cease we are all the same but there’s always someone to blame Blame, Blame, always someone to blame.
