The Fall And Rise Of Elliot Brown

I mean I got years man I go back actually[00:00:00]

I just got back to these streets man this is home to me though[00:00:02]

You mean I was goin' for a while ten years to be exact[00:00:05]

I lost my lights in the streets you know but for these streets[00:00:07]

Me and my dude we got down and dirty for it man[00:00:10]

We did every thang we took know what I mean to eat[00:00:12]

That's what it's about when I was comin' up in the 80's[00:00:14]

Everybody tried to eat man and my way livin' to eat man[00:00:16]

I gurped in theses streets I grind[00:00:18]

Walked to these streets here nah'mean "[00:00:19]

Got to get this bread got to get this dough[00:00:21]

Got to get these chips got to get these whips[00:00:22]

And fits and got to get real mean got to get real clean[00:00:24]

Got to get these fiends a fixin'[00:00:26]

On a mission to get rich real quick use wit' no intermission[00:00:28]

Got to live big gettin' the tip on them big[00:00:31]

So spendin' spendin' any witness get hit quick[00:00:32]

This lick isn't never no kid shit[00:00:34]

Not a picnic flip biscuit get rich that's it[00:00:36]

Big bills just Ben's no frills just Benz's[00:00:37]

Spendin' endless spendin' sprees[00:00:39]

Limitless build it up to the millions[00:00:39]

Then I can have things like a new fly ring and a new fly fling[00:00:40]

I can do Irene Darlene Charlene and Francine even get[00:00:43]

Inside Pam's jeans as clean as you ever did see on the scene[00:00:45]

Doin' real big things as I pimp this simple system[00:00:47]

Then I hear sirens and I see high beams[00:00:49]

Now I am flyin' but they're behind me[00:00:50]

Now I'm on one knee and the dope's on me[00:00:52]

Now my hope's gone see and I lost my freedom[00:00:54]

Locked up see ya[00:00:55]

He was a young lad off of happiness and smiles[00:01:06]

He was sprung bad wanted all the trendy classy[00:01:09]

Number one fads in a very short time[00:01:11]

Learned the rules of combat[00:01:13]

Learned who was a punk and who would have swung back[00:01:15]

How to take from the weak especially when hungry[00:01:18]

While mama's workin' two jobs and daddy's gone away[00:01:20]

And police be throwin' you vibes even at a young age[00:01:22]

And it was like he was livin' in a cage[00:01:25]

From the outside world 'cause he just couldn't relate[00:01:27]

And then life really began and trifeness[00:01:31]

Was a given when he graduated[00:01:32]

The fall[00:01:52]

So he hustled doin' whatever just to get the bread and mustard[00:01:57]

Stacked high grew wit' some niggaz that he trusted[00:02:01]

He shouldn't have though 'cause them same niggaz got him busted[00:02:04]

And 'bout the same time he 'bout to get sent up[00:02:06]

His ex-girl is like "I'm pregnant baby daddy plus it's twins"[00:02:08]

And when he goes to jail he has company[00:02:11]

In the form of fifty percent of the cats he grew up with[00:02:13]

Gets out goes back just like a puppet[00:02:16]

Caught in a genocidal death trap of the government[00:02:18]

The don't rehabilitate they just be lovin' it[00:02:21]

When niggaz is in the pen 'cause that's big money makin' to them[00:02:23]

The rise[00:02:43]

For some time he sat and pondered[00:02:48]

Trapped in a cell filled with criminals and convicts[00:02:50]

Time had arrived to confront the real conflict[00:02:52]

Lookin' within not without he got honest[00:02:55]

Started to read and acquire that self knowledge[00:02:57]

Learned he was royalty and didn't come from garbage[00:03:00]

How to embrace struggle and learn from his problems[00:03:02]

True wealth is health family and a higher consciousness[00:03:04]

Learned that most of what he was taught was nonsense[00:03:07]

Read up on economics and how to start a business[00:03:10]

Self determination and dedication empowered him[00:03:12]

Somethin' inside him told him only God could stop him[00:03:14]

Now he's out livin' what others said was impossible[00:03:17]

Thought he would be another victim of ghetto obstacles[00:03:19]

Through the concrete a rosebud started to blossom[00:03:22]

Remember change is really all that remains constant yeah[00:03:24]

Hey B-Cam this is your sister Dee-Dee[00:03:38]

I was just callin' to tell you that I gone to see Frankie[00:03:40]

And I told him that you wanted him to[00:03:43]

Give a like what it was like to be in prison[00:03:45]

And what advice he would give and oh my God[00:03:48]

I got this letter from him Tim you've got to hear it[00:03:50]

This word should be in a book or a song or something[00:03:52]

I mean really[00:03:55]
