Seeing who I was before I know
Everyone evolves, everyone grow
Please take me back to my old days
Lackawanna projects home safe on Gates
And I swear if I could
I'd do it all again
Forty-four, fifty, and fifty-eight
Grandma's house, my brother's house, and my place where I stayed
Innocent if I could I wouldn't change a goddamn thing (r.i.p grandma)
I spill my feelings onto a sheet
Cause the minds of these humans I interact with are weak, bleak
And nothing good comes from an ignorant mouth as it speak
And thats's why I tune out everyone that tries to reach
Back to Gates Ave, I have the key
Picking up the old De'Shawn yeah forced entry
I feel like all these changes is what's breaking me
New faces in my life, too quick to cut you off
And I won't think twice
Yeah you can see the pain in my eyes
When i'm home with my folks everything feels just right
Gates and Church with Christopher ain't taking nothing light
Make that left then another left circle u-drive
I gotta go I gotta leave one day
This place is temporary, rise above is what they say
But if I leave to new beginnings I would feel a stray
And if I'm forgot about of course yeah I'd feel a way
Competing with my better days
I hope they do not fade away
Life on Gates is not the same
And no De'Shawn is not the same
My surroundings is not the same
On Gates, on Gates, I was raised
And Gates is where I'm gone stay
And Gates is where I'm gone stay
On Gates, on Gates, on Gates, on Gates
Where I was raised
And Gates is where I'm gone stay
And Gates is where I'm gone stay
I shouldn't have to feel a way
No no no no no no no
