No Peace

[Verse]

Bitches tryna keep up with the trends so they boosting

And they ain't want you if you ain’t banging or hooping

Either way it goes when you score then they rooting

Niggas tryna live up to they stories in they music

And dead or in jail gon' be the only conclusion

Claiming he a demon, going out his way to prove it

This shit will never end 'cause the streets keep recruiting

You looked at as a lame if you ain’t down with the movement

Now you and all your friends down the wrong path cruising

Another youngin taken out for trying to be included

Shorty feelin' pain, want revenge so they shooting

Felt pressured by the stress, he ain't even wanna do it

Feeling like an opp and he ain’t with it, that's confusing

Shit ain't even fair, dropouts killing students

Products of our environment, no positive influence

My big bro getting to it but my grandma crack abusing

Counting drug money like you winning but you losing

Keep claiming that hood like it's yours but you clueless

It’s gon' only be there 'til a white man chooses

They sending people through tear it down or improve it

White folks worried, now your whole block moving

They set us up to fail and they watch it in amusement

But we ain't awake when it come to the schemes 'cause everybody sleep following the wrong dream

Priorities ain’t straight, worried bought the wrong things

They just want designer, iPhones and some bling

They just want a .30 or a Glock with a beam

They like to be busting off to flex in them Benz

Tryna numb the pain with Xans, loud, and lean

And they do it all for clout, want it bad like a fiend

Babies having babies at the age of 16

Wanna be a parent but they don’t know what it mean

Instead they be afraid and never give them what they need

They don’t tell that baby that he's strong and he a king

They don’t instill standards in our young black queens

They don’t want them kids, all that fun ain't what it seem

So every other decade it's the same routine

All you hear is sirens, gunshots and screams

They calling out for answers and you let the phone ring

Mothers devastated screaming “Why?” on the scene

Nobody wanna live this life, everybody acting

Ain’t no leaders being added so we keep subtracting

Keef made it off drill, now everybody rappin'

They named the city Chiraq now everybody savage

Even buford's got guns, everybody clappin'

I’m from a place where there ain't no structure and they quick to let it blow

Like an All-Star Game, all the fuck you know is score

Chicago would turn a church girl into a hoe

And have a good-hearted kid aim a gun for his bro

Where the white people wealthy and the black people broke

It’s all about the money and we tired of being poor

Where kids go hungry so they stealing out the store

Or they hit licks and rob, lotta people getting poked

Where it's hard to get a job so you start selling dope

But pops might be dead or never came back through the door

Or he fought for his freedom and the judge told him no

You going through a lot but you never let it show

And you never ask for help when your plate overflow

But one day it's sunny and the next day it's snow

Don’t know what to expect so you living off hope

You just gotta pray that your child get to grow

Bullets got other plans so it's time for inner growth

Fighting for his life with his back against the ropes

And now his homies on the 'book making R.I.P. post

When you die you gon’ turn into a gang or a joke

The opps gon’ laugh and say your name when they smoke

The block gon' spazz and leave brains on the floor

They don’t understand that you reap what you sow

Like, they've been off the medicine until you get a 'dose

Karma coming humbling you the minute that you boast

Ain’t no peace, too much hate when it’s love needed most

Ain’t no peace, too much hate when it’s love needed most
