Rittz - Piece of Mind lyrics
rate meCHORUS
Piece of mind
life on the streets of crime
violence and people dying
it's the blind trying to lead the blind
we can't leave this life that live behind
we're trying to find some x2
VERSE1
Yeah, (unclear)
most of us toting a loaded weapon
children gettin' exposed when they growing show aggresion and hate
they parents never took a second to take a look and make
sure the direction they was headed was straight
in 10th grade my friend Tate was alive
fresh out of middle school they stabbed him in front of an arcade and he died
over a cambodian gang test
I wanted to bring back memories of his funeral
the moments of pain that I endured as a teen
I done seen my fair share of scares
my crew and I went everywhere prepared
cause I felt harmless, to coincide a life that's been tarnished
one of my best friends took a knife in the armpit
for winning a fist fight
9 years later I still pray to God
thanking him for letting him live life
the damage was done
same night people tried to rush my crib
he came to fight them with his bandages on
cause ain't no mother fucking...peace
CHORUSx2
VERSE2
You see it ain't as peacful as the people would think
everybody's mind is equally sick
my homie hoodlum 15 got arrested
for robbing an adolescent and they got him inside corrections
now he's legal to drink
sure you heard the same story before
just cause mine's recorded doesn't mean it's anymore important than yours
it's all distorted, we easily influenced by money, power, respect
nobody wants to work for hours and sweat
especially when they parents struggle and their house is a wreck
every other kid around was getting down with a set
when I was younger with folks, sit down with the crips and the bloods
If not, the cool was probably hitting licks for the drugs
my homie Slick used to show me the ropes
the do's and don'ts of the street
my homie Charles made the bulk of the meat
now I'm his daughter's Godfather with pride
Can't forget the day in '99 he cried
told me Charles had died
cause ain't no mother fucking...peace
CHORUSx2
VERSE3
See everybody want the rep of the tough guy
what goes around comes around
better be expecting some gun fire
trying to mature
trying to ignore the drama
that cause you to get caught up
and cause mama and dada to mourn
there'll always be more problems
trying to handle them safely
I don't wanna end up in the ambulance racing
with my family waiting in the emergency room
rotting in prison facing death convicted of murder of doom
so say goodbye to the hot sun
my boy Black told me get burned
he caught a couple buck shot from the shotgun
in his bicep instead of his chest
could have bled to his death
he wasn't ready yet
I guess he was blessed
I thank the Lord that I'm here
looking forward to living
instead of being someone people find important to fear
maybe then a little piece of being Georgia is near
your part of town my eyes watered down flowing with tears
I need peace
