lyrics

back in the east,
days when nobody was fucking with me.
losing some people I thought never leave.
too many niggaz aspire to be.
leaders but neither responsible, sheesh.
all my attention been focused on me.
I gotta get better.
maturity measured
connecting antennas right over the sea

back in the
back in the
back in the east,
back when my teacher was Abdul Latif
I was still cutting, just look at my sleeves.
told you my nigga, i am where I be.
value my work cause it coming from hurt.
who gonna put a price on what Im worth.
moment I stop I'll be laid in a hearse.
bouncing balls dribble on letters I word.

niggaz and bitches got nothing but interest
depicting editions of snakes in attendance.
I'm dipping my toes before walking on liquid.
I meant it, correcting my own masochism.
no longer the victim, I broke out the prison
I hear you my nigga but who gonna listen?
they claiming I'm tripping, I guess be bitching.
and silence is stronger than yelling & hitting.

my own intuition go off like a pistol
detaching whoever the man in the middle
It's fuck everybody and that is official.
the biggest is often thenigga with little

cause

I was just hating myself (self)
wasn't accepting no help. (help)
loneliest I ever felt. (felt)
exit the stage to the left. (LOW)

chours:

and if you talking bout friends
then I can not count on them
I'm a young sad nigga and I ain't gonna pretend.
I'm a young sad nigga and want it all to end.


and if your talking bout life,
then you better get it right
I'm a young silly nigga happiness never applied
I'm a young silly nigga and i really wanna die.


verse two:
yea I'm a hoe and I know I'm a freak.
what other things are they saying bout me.
some of these niggaz be thinkin they deep.
only the surface, their ankles will freeze.
sizzle, we popping, like hamburger grease
closest to me cheering on my defeat.
closest to them, got more sympathy, sweet.
trusting my homies gets hard by the week.

hustle,
my muscles
not privy to comfort
rock hoodies in summer
so cuts undiscovered.
the gutters I utter
are unlike no other
that's true for my sister
and three of my brothers.


maybe I'm timid
or maybe I'm different.
i muster the courage to change how I'm living
I get it, you got it.
these people be toxic
I'm part of the problem
and rarely unconscious.


outro:
back in the east
(woah woah)
back in the east
(no no)
back in the east
(yo yo)
back in the east
(go go)
back in the east
(yea yea)
back in the east
(oh oh)
back in the east
(aye aye)
back in the WOAH
