So let me take y'all back Lessons taught through rap My nigga Jack for confidential purposes of the story Born in the motherland with bigger dreams and plans We met as kids back when I was holding my mamas hand Real nigga But listen Jack was easily triggered Always different and plus it didn't help that he was bigger With no sisters only child And looking back he only smiled in company of his friends Was I don't really know it all depends From an outside lens he probably had it all But on the inside Jack knew something was wrong Yeah his parents were going strong But money only fills a fucking void for so long Doesn't seem all perfect yeah I know The main figure in his life was his GI Joe Of course his parents loved him and I ain't try to push no blame But is the money worth it if he don't love you the same Memories made by maids love starts to fade At the point where dad can't even tell you his age Remember once his dad took the kid to a game But he ain't give a f*ck deep deep down in his brain he said Can I get a little peace and quiet Lately these thoughts been on my mind I just wanna get a little time Can I get a little peace and quiet Can I get a little peace and quiet Lately these thoughts been on my mind I just wanna get a little time Can I get a little peace and quiet Fast forward I ain't heard of Jack in a minute Surrounded by fake bitches only acting interested for his fathers bread For a head a hair they'll give him head Trips to Etienne only time that they share a bed Jack older but in his head immature I just don't know who I am he said he wasn't sure Sure enough when it came time for To get to school he had to cross the shore Green passports to the great white north He's on his own again he's getting used to it But sometimes when he gets these visions in his dreams He wished that he had a team Wasn't good enough for sports and the clubs weren't really his cup of tea Family GCs they leave him on read His dad told him get your degree and stack your bread But Jack always wanted to paint the world instead Gave him a way to defeat the enemies in his head But it was law or med His dad or his mom Felt disconnected wasn't like he hated them But it was purely transactional like an atm He called his bitch she air the line like KLM But from the outside looking in His frown looked like a grin Warped realities the truth is never what it seems I blame myself never understood my nigga's needs IG facades mixed with fever dreams His bitch was using him for Gucci and Louis V And when he tried to talk it was like here Watch this ad and play for free Nigga no this pussy not cheap And if he still wanted to talk she'd pretend to be sleep and say Can I get a little peace and quiet Lately these niggas on my mind I just wanna get a little time Can I get a little peace and quiet Can I get a little peace and quiet Lately these niggas on my mind I just wanna get a little time Can I get a little peace and quiet Was never good with words trouble communicating Could never tell me how he felt his doom awaiting Clean hearts get polluted with the shit you taking Used to be man of the year ain't talking Walter Payton Shattered dreams paint thrown to the breeze Only canvas that he deal with is them off white 3s Only use a brush maybe for his waves and his teeth Trapped in a rat race where there ain't no cheese His girl left probably for the best he needs a rest From toxicity isn't he a such a wreck That's what she said 'fore moving onto the next And deep down he still dealing with his mama death Graduated but never elaborated his feelings to his father Couldn't take the drama Be a good boy and do what your told Remember when his life revolved around pussy and gold Now all roads lead to the same fate it's not great Live alone with no end in sight Looking back could've easily been me in that life If I never found a pen or I never found a mic If I never chased a dream or I never found the light And Jack started drinking every fucking night Just to get away from the black man's plight In his apartment building thinking that he's a villain He been making a killing he sits and looks at the ceiling There's a fucking broken bulb it go (Bzz bzz) Like a fucking insect Reminds him how small he feels and he ain't been checked in a minute Nobody gives a f*ck about me If I ain't rap play ball or show up on tv Then I'm just another nigga Chasing the green There's no meaning to life no meaning to me As he takes another drink Jack starting to seeth Nigga falls to his knees As he's starting to scream He's thinking why God you let this shit happen to me There's a knock on the door shit who could it be First thought about some weed he had is it the police Open up its the neighbour from next door He says ay man I don't know what you stressed for But please can I Can I get a little peace and quiet Lately I can't even close my eyes I just wanna get a little time Can I get a little peace and quiet Can I get a little peace and quiet Lately I can't even close my eyes I just wanna get a little time Can I get a little peace and quiet The whole world wants peace Jack said what about you I guess my own peace comes when I step in the booth Everybody wants a piece but wants nothing to do They'd rather lie in their death than live in their truth All bets are off when Jack gets lost in his head Like a black man running from Feds Dead thoughts in his brain it's a deadly combination At this point Jack has had every contemplation From those nights looking back on his life like a compilation And honestly my nigga had good and bad But when the hate outweighs the joy and gladness A nigga finds it hard to eye the positives They drowned out But that's too fucking painful If Jack gotta go he's gotta take a different angle Can't blame him his whole life he suffered in silence Guess that's why he wants to leave with a deafening violence Last time I heard from Jack thought that he was okay Nothing deep guess he didn't really have much to say I can't help but think what if I had pushed him away Played a part in his thinking he had no other play Set the screen but never rolled just let him fade away Shit weighs heavy on my mind when I think to that day What if his parents chased him out by chasing the bag Don't blame them when you come from nothing that's all you have What if the kids that made him cry were making him laugh What if I didn't act a fool and fucking had his back Would I still be talking bout Jack's time in the past tense All sense begins to leave he's heating up He grabs the .44 that he keeps in the lambo truck Ain't acting on impulse his thoughts are far from rushed Been thinking bout this since his mama bit the dust But never had the courage I'll fucking show the world They think I'm just a rock when I'm a diamond and a pearl I wish I could've told him he's all that and more But I was too busy chasing money and whores Load the clip no time to slip Quick make it clean Don't want to stay long or get no blood on my jeans If I'm fucking going I have to make a statement For every nigga like me thrown to the pavement For every nigga told they could never fucking make it For everybody told all their dreams were fucking basic If only he had picked up that brush back then Then he'd have ideas instead of bullets in his head Playing with acrylic over fumbling with lead But times up nothing said now can change him Hard to fix a man but it's easy to break him Takes a life to live only need a second to take him He falls to the floor and takes a breath deep And right before he hears the fucking trigger go squeeze There's a fucking broken bulb it go (Bzz bzz) And he thinks Can I get a little peace & quiet
