Justin Martyr: So you living that thug life, drug life; gang banging You know what getting hit with a slug’s like Rough life failing schools and abandoned buildings Guns and crack all around disadvantaged children Fam I been around the world ain't a single hood Quite like Southside Chi Englewood Been doing ministry here for a couple years In Chicago shed more than a couple tears Racism, segregation causing More stress My first four months here, I seen four deaths In the trap I wanna see em get the Lord's best But most churches here steady spewing out more mess I’m born and raised in thе county of Dade Miami, 305 where my foundation was laid Wе got gangs in the MIA but it ain't like Chi-Town Over a century sets letting off nine rounds On their opps, they don't see a need for cops Street justice it seems the cycle will never stop No good interactions with the Po-lice You tryna live life a vegan, no-beef But without Christ you got no peace Fronting like we’re strong, in reality we’re so weak Tell em degrees get you clean money, (who cares) (I'm satisfied selling weed, xans and loose squares) Gang banging a way of life for more than 3 generations Had no other choice you ain't choose your situation Unplanned Parenthood, lands you In Planned Parenthood Weight of injustice broke your back You can’t stand like you should Marriage forget it that’s not even an option No real role models, got you feeling boxed in Your dad’s dead or a dead beat, locked up or he can aim Shoot and let the lead leak Your brother’s in a gang too it runs in the family This is all you know in life flirting with insanity Even your mother and your sister claim a set Funeral programs on your wall, you lost count of all the deaths That u seen; Cold World, it’s a real cold world Tryna hold it down for your baby and old girl I grew up with both parent’s both cheering me on, nobody in my life steering me wrong Two sisters and one brother never lived in the gutta Wealthy home, not from the hood no violence to uncover Blessed with affluent parents married over 40 years They introduced me to Christ, I never lived in fear I don’t know what it’s like to bury a dead homie Never had to run from 12s with Feds on me It’s cold in these Streets life’s so tragic But we can find hope in the hy-po-static -union I had it wrong, assumed I understood Gotta listen more than I talk to learn about your hood (Convo with THRE ensues) These cold streets---I often think about when I rap THRE tell em how you got up out of the trap
