Mil Town Soldier

Lyrics

Rockin beats in a Chevy Drive the streets and its heavy Ghetto torn like confetti One hundred people shot this weekend in Chicago already Took the bottle from Freddy Told his girl Betty she ain't win the lotto She said he Told her buy some Powerball mega millions I guess he Felt his odds was better game playing Than gang banging Decisions are blessings Or volatile At least he's living which means forgiveness is possible Seeing windows smashеd out Doors boarded, keep out Signs My mind rewinds back to childhood routes Thе same streets but more dignity than debris I banged beats outta addys that are now into pieces I sang things about parks That's just growing tall weeds and Memories of what used to be Growing old stories rarely told about the ghosts That stay posted in the depths of my minds eye Time flies Yeah I'm driving in a 68 Nova L78 with a classic motor 375 hp roller Mil town soldier Yeah I'm driving in a 68 Nova L78 with a classic motor 375 hp roller Mil town soldier Yo Make a left onto third Used to be Davis and Son corner store on the curb Now its owned by some Indians Plexiglass when I'm served Next door is my mommas biz Usually undisturbed Across the street from us Hustlers shot up the barber shop Bullet holes fill the windows Man, I kid you not This my childhood block My momma just got a street sign named after her The Fear factor's worse Some of these young cats don't believe that elders come first In fact Some think that elders are at blame for their hurt And that Their predicament ain't sheltered A curse No matter how perverse it ain't easily reversed What used to thrive is no longer alive A desert And bursts of violence break out Unrehearsed I'm in silence but I'm fully Immersed In the current state of where I used play From birth Time flies Yeah I'm driving in a 68 Nova L78 with a classic motor 375 hp roller Mil town soldier Yeah I'm driving in a 68 Nova L78 with a classic motor 375 hp roller Mil town soldier Uh Sometimes I think about investing Putting money back, to give a blessing To the adolescents If I was richer with more connections In essence I would be make the cover of Essence For my progressive financial expressions Meanwhile I already got a scholarship Gave millions of dollars to kids with knowledge And no politics On the dollar tip I still feel so inadequate Though I'm above average Who wouldn't want to be a Maverick A Warren Buffet An Elon Musk with A musket of cabbage to give If we collected our resources And gathered it in Instead of spending Most of our money with them Not condescending It's just my cunning revenge For all the centuries Of French and Brits Running a blitz on Africans From Haiti to South Americans We'd be laughing again Riding around New riches found We packing it in Get in Yeah I'm driving in a 68 Nova L78 with a classic motor 375 hp roller Mil town soldier Yeah I'm driving in a 68 Nova L78 with a classic motor 375 hp roller Mil town soldier
