I am Chicago's Miles Morales Nipsey preached the Marathon but a miles a challenge Heavy hearts on the south side vile and malice Stained the souls of the youth now how could I manage To the boys who had jumped me at the court up on Cottage Grove I was young but that's some hate that I ain't gotta hold I know they thought I'd say some vengeful stuff But now I fight wit my words And y'all don't know a lot of those I'm here now, victim to some hear say Still to this day, it's tryna track me in a weird way Marked me and my influence Wondered how I get through it Wondered if I still fought then would that help me get through it This is Bobby Fischer level of mastery Congrats to the ones who learned that they never could have me I can't be bought or bargained for, to see what I got in store You gon need more than a wrist band or a membership pass Say it wit me Breathe in (color) Breathe out (color) Close the screen door fore you leave out (color) No more black and white TV (color ) Open yo eyes, can you see me (color) Breathe in (color) Breathe out (color) Close the screen door fore you leave out (color) No more black and white TV (color ) Open yo eyes, can you see me (color) Coulda died back in April, but that was grace He held a gun to my side and said stay in a rappers place Turned his back and walked away we coulda worked it out there But I prolly wouldn't be here and I couldn't have rapped to day Got off at the next stop and thought bout what my dad would say I did the right thing and he truly concerned I'm the one that's stepping out the house every single day Knowing any day that man could come through on his word They throw shade and love to offend you Seeing your color or any other as special is a wonderful visual Imagine my post on twitter saying come to my vigil Crazy how me and that boys gun got a government issue I'm boxing life and the fair skinnded Bare fisted, hair twisted In the mirror like life ain't fair is it My battle cry is bound to sound different Cuz I cry and my homie smoke loud, we break down different Breathe in (color) Breathe out (color) Close the screen door fore you leave out (color) No more black and white TV (color ) Open yo eyes, can you see me (color) Breathe in (color) Breathe out (color) Close the screen door fore you leave out (color) No more black and white TV (color ) Open yo eyes, can you see me I recently learned I am the final amalgamation of some careful calculations All leading up to this moment the pressure heavy I provide my salutations, welcome to the land of the hungry I wanna be, wanna be sum you believe I got some pretty decent freestyles And some really good writtens like I want you to leave But I want you to stay and get comfortable Welcome to the land of the hungry I had a talk wit some comedians and man it was funny But pretty serious We talked about the concepts of integration and fearlessness Cuz if you're scared to grow then you frozen and you're complacent Record labels ain't met you but lookin for your replacement This is peak consciousness A play it safe youngin wit a mind for street politics I've seen food desserts and dryer spots Seen a man manage da white better than Michael Scott Twenty-twenty the first time that I had to fight a cop Tried to detain my lil homie my people all we got Kids in back of vans ain't sit right Had to fist fight, was puttin both hands on twelve Lookin like midnight This is nonviolent plenty tea and meditation I came only strapped wit prayer and preparation Only who next to real you know if you not adjacent This is for the people who Either currently ducking smoke from me with the pen Or some civil conversation please stop waiting Sitting up In Nini's eating with Fem and Thelo Thought my chances of losing and failing was slim to zero Further discussed the ways that life changed The right things led us to the path till night came The stars aligned Lined up the shot so perfect look at this arc of mine Sometimes I make a good shot And get a bit complacent Forget to run back for the stop and that's the indication Gotta be an example for the youth who live in different places Hoopin, can't even slap the backboard But still touch the glass at visitation These are life changing lines no resuscitation Can't even slap the backboard But still touch the glass at visitation Hear me Breathe in (color) Breathe out (color) Close the screen door fore you leave out (color) No more black and white TV (color ) Open yo eyes, can you see me (color) Breathe in (color) Breathe out (color) Close the screen door fore you leave out (color) No more black and white TV (color ) Open yo eyes, can you see me
