Feel me more listen
Beautiful sunsets don't exist
Red or gold snow the project hallways smell like piss
There's really no reward for the risk
Just cash rewards for those who know who might throw a tip
How many hustlers you know old and  rich
And happy
We were minutes away from baggies
From a place where they lie to kids about the whereabouts of their parents
Either it's something they're too young to handle or the family is embarrassed
Cherished all the things you took for granted like heat or running water
Winter coats bootlegs a sandwich
Pardon my heart though it's somewhat damaged
Wasn't no Christmases where I'm from there was no Santa
All the abandoned buildings is still abandoned
Buffalo really a island they left us stranded
We ain't complain we ain't break we didn't panic
We maneuvered through pain and somehow a nigga managed
Where were you though

I'm one of those Cuban Linx that it was built for
Remind you of a place and time when Fillmore was Fillmore
Life will never ever be the same we was for real poor
We gonna be ok one day somehow someway my nigga
And all the lives that got affected
Hope you find God or find yourself for second
Life will take everything from you leave you lessons
So for me to be here telling you  is just blessing

Yesterday's Bottled anger is just tomorrow's danger
We were all affected by Ronald Reagan
You could count on fiends to cop you couldn't count on prayers
Homicide was next door talking to our neighbors
Or at her front door telling her her son ain't make it
Some used drugs to hide the scars because they couldn't take it
Kids get molested by family members you think they safe with
Some mothers turned their heads some kids were afraid to shit
Closed caskets and open cases
Shootings in broad day shit
Fights breakout razor blades f*ck up faces
No vacations
They on parole or probation
Short patience with a tall talent
That can take me many places that my stars haven't
From where the celebrate survival not walking across a stage
And a walk around the way was deadlier than aids
Where a mother visit graves and a father never visits
Where were you though

I'm one of those Cuban Linx that it was built for
Remind you of a place and time when Fillmore was Fillmore
Life will never ever be the same we was for real poor
We gonna be ok one day somehow someway my nigga
And all the lives that got affected
Hope you find God or find yourself for second
Life will take everything from you leave you lessons
So for me to be here telling you  is just blessing

You couldn't walk with me never you might catch a stray
Death wasn't around the corner it was a step away
Laughed at our dreams told us we'd never make it
I lose count I know mad Julius Pages
Cliff Robinsons
Paul Harrises
Johnny Flynns
Niggas doing county years
They get killed over ounces here
Blood flooded the block they all drowning here
Love don't love nobody drive-bys in the Bonneville
We've been fucked over before so why sign a deal
Niggas did mad time for mad niggas blind as hell
They ain't visiting them niggas nah and they ain't sending mail
Blood thicker than water but blood thin as hell
Especially when you drinking
In the blink of an eye they will kill you not even blinking
They talking all throughout the precinct
We ain't complain we ain't break we didn't panic
We maneuvered through pain and somehow we really managed
Where were you though

I'm one of those Cuban Linx that it was built for
Remind you of a place and time when Fillmore was Fillmore
Life will never ever be the same we was for real poor
We gonna be ok one day somehow someway my nigga
And all the lives that got affected
Hope you find God or find yourself for second
Life will take everything from you leave you lessons
So for me to be here telling you  is just blessing
