Verse 1

I think dead ends are new beginnings to grow
Like Five on the Black Hand Side, taking pride in your 'fro
During Jim Crow, just let it Jim go, did you catch it?
I hope it was caught by some kid whose parents got divorced
And they think it's their fault
Don't carry that with you as an adult, it could make you depressed
From your subconscious head, in the vault
Believe me, I know, and that ain't on the low-low
I put myself in this song, you don't picture me as strong
You got the wrong photo
I killed all my demons and lived to tell the tale
Where they dumping bodies in the Great Lakes to sell the sale
Or leave you right where you stand for your Pelle Pelle and Starter coat
I saw how one could stab you in the back could also part your throat
What a shame that people feel they gotta go there
Then later find out they ain't going nowhere
I'm so rare when I jot it
That I've compared my lines to the ones that you shave from a narcotic
And ain't nobody touching our product
Them other niggas good, but let's be real
My cup runneth over, they need fresh refills
They probably got 'em from fast food spots that make you obese
In the hood, are those the only places we can go feast?
If so, I wonder if it's more to it
Since every corner got a liquor store with crooked police
And swear you in a stolen car and not a car with no lease
And you got drugs inside a stash box along with your piece
Peace to Sandra Bland, Eric Garner and Kaepernick
What happened to all in the same gang?
"Self-Destruction" when popular rappers stick together for a cause
Now they doped up from their flaws
Excuse me while I pause to blow strains
