Still Heir

[Intro]

This by design, man

You supposed to feel this, b

Word

[Chorus]

Raised in ruins

Rage is the influence

Sold sins

Still heir, no winds

Raised in ruins

Rage is the influence

Sold sins

Still heir, no winds

[Bridge]

Suffering, ain't feel nothing less hurting

Gloom looming and death certain

Found some wait around, some run to it

It's life's line, tight bind, can't undo it

[Verse 1]

Raised in ruins, rage is the influence

Grew in piss, used to wish for a early out

Mourning's rough, wasn't strong enough for world of doubt

When shots blowing, it's the not knowing

If that errant stray land the day you stop growing

Wasn't fufu, used to roaches in the kitchen

Feeling lost, peeling off a notice of eviction

My loved ones hugged jums, moments of addiction

Put it as documented footage, no erroneous depiction

The site's sights was lots and abandoneds

The town's sounds was pops from the cannons

No hopes or notions, it's gritty we learning

Would've swore it was Gomorrah how the city was burning

Took subsidies to cover my mother needs

But a cheese plate can't negate them bloody leaves

[Chorus]

Raised in ruins

Rage is the influence

Sold sins

Still heir, no winds

[Verse 2]

In stained parks the brainwash was programming loot

Deep in the streets reaching for low-hanging fruit

To make math, grapes of wrath, I united vine

Won't stay down, only playground's a idle mind

Heads together, results hand to hand

Was kids talking to kids man to man

My parch started when I ran them grams

Of soft from the porch across to my scrambling fam

Being used as vehicles, lad unloading the bricks

Disguised a prize as bag of soda and chips

Coached to be poetry in motion, no need of mules

Ain't know the harm, that that bomb would be the fuse

Did a dozen for my cousin, the recipe of hungry

Knew I was too young to arrest, blessed me with a 20

Elite green for preteen, especially when bummy

Not enough to get fresh, but *yes* I'm getting money

Now it's time to climb till it's run-ins of my own

Either paid, grave, cage, or humbly atone

[Chorus]

Raised in ruins

Rage is the influence

Sold sins

Still heir, no winds

Raised in ruins

[Bridge]

Suffering, ain't feel nothing less hurting

Gloom looming and death certain

Found some wait around, some run to it

It's life's line, tight bind, can't undo it

Raised in ruins

Rage is the influence

[Outro]

"Even in a ghetto world, or a poverty world, where things are not going so smooth, one must be taught that you are responsible for your own decisions, your own actions, your own words..."
