Morocco Mike - Murs[00:00:00]
Ay it's like me and this ni**a Eclipse[00:00:06]
Been working on this sh*t hella hard for hella days[00:00:09]
You know saying Been since like[00:00:12]
95 both graduated and sh*t[00:00:14]
Sh*t changed a grip for me this year[00:00:18]
95 was some sh*t check it out[00:00:21]
It was 95 the year of my graduation[00:00:24]
I was in great anticipation of my date of release[00:00:27]
From this educational prison [00:00:30]
Moms made the decision[00:00:31]
To throw me from the residence[00:00:32]
It seems w**d and hip-hop had taken precedence[00:00:34]
Over my responsibilities but it was alright[00:00:36]
Because that day to day b******t was killing me[00:00:39]
So willingly I left the home[00:00:41]
And set out on my own [00:00:43]
Shacked up with some crew Saga and Rhythm[00:00:45]
Didn't have to give them any rent[00:00:47]
So hella time was spent up late night [00:00:49]
Freestyling getting high[00:00:50]
Not knowing how I would make it to school the next day[00:00:52]
From the Westside of L A I had to hit the 33[00:00:54]
And now I hear them fools from Red[00:00:56]
Dots is out to murder me[00:00:58]
So certainly stresss built[00:00:59]
Taking bus to night school every day [00:01:01]
Could got my a** kilt[00:01:02]
But I had to get my credits straight[00:01:04]
Plus the bus ride gave me time to meditate[00:01:06]
On how to set this sh*t straight[00:01:08]
So late one night [00:01:09]
I called up moms then we reached an agreement[00:01:10]
Which only delayed [00:01:12]
It didn't prevent what was bound to happen[00:01:13]
She said she wasn't tripping[00:01:15]
Just as long as I got a gown and cap[00:01:16]
Then came graduation day [00:01:18]
The only ni**a to walk the stage[00:01:20]
With a zero point five four five GPA[00:01:21]
I hand her the diploma and she still have sh*t to say[00:01:24]
And it's f**kin off my vibe [00:01:26]
And the album's on its way[00:01:28]
I couldn't prolong the day when Murs[00:01:29]
And the real world would collide[00:01:31]
The year was nine-five[00:01:33]
The year was nine-five [00:01:34]
I thought I wouldn't survive[00:01:35]
Living in the city[00:01:37]
Where it's a day to day struggle to survive[00:01:38]
The year was nine-five[00:01:41]
Daily survival tactics in L A[00:01:42]
Daily survival tactics in L A[00:01:45]
Daily survival tactics in L A[00:01:47]
Daily survival tactics in L A[00:01:50]
Daily survival tactics in L A[00:01:52]
I struggled my way in the summer[00:01:55]
And now the album's almost done[00:01:56]
But now is when the crew starts to fall apart[00:01:58]
One by one we disassembled [00:02:00]
Which sorta resembles my life[00:02:02]
Falling apart right before my eyes[00:02:03]
So I fantasized about having a video [00:02:05]
And being on tour[00:02:07]
To keep my mind off my empty stomach [00:02:08]
And sleeping on the floor[00:02:10]
Being that I'm broke [00:02:11]
I'm stealing groceries from the store[00:02:12]
And now it seems every battle I have turns to beef[00:02:14]
And me broke with no heat[00:02:16]
I'm looking over both shoulders whenever I hit the streets[00:02:18]
And just when I thought I escaped defeat[00:02:20]
I'm sitting with my homey and we smoking a beadie[00:02:22]
When this cop see me and he decides to procede[00:02:24]
A young black male with dreads it gotta be w**d[00:02:27]
So he comes over with the usual disrespect[00:02:29]
But that's all I've come to expect[00:02:32]
From a motherf**ker with a badge and a God Complex[00:02:33]
Next he's asking questions testing my patience[00:02:36]
Finds out I'm underage now he's writing a citation[00:02:38]
Asking me to stand up to be frisked [00:02:41]
I'm like Man f**k this [00:02:42]
Then this b**ch cop snatched me up from the back[00:02:44]
I turned around to counter the attack[00:02:46]
But I'm surrounded by five cops[00:02:48]
Who don't appreciate the reply[00:02:49]
So it's me they hogtie and throw on the asphault[00:02:51]
Steady talking sh*t standing over me like it's all my fault[00:02:53]
And now I got a court case to face[00:02:57]
And in the first place I barely got enoughs to survive[00:02:59]
So when the court date arrived[00:03:01]
I damn sure don't got enough for a f**king bus ride[00:03:03]
So they give me a warrant failure to appear[00:03:05]
The next week I'm at the pier with my crew[00:03:08]
I seen this fool I battled a couple days back[00:03:10]
Hadn't seen him in a few I stepped to him[00:03:12]
He's like Dude we need a rematch [00:03:14]
You see my ego's been scratched[00:03:16]
And when I tell him that sh*t ain't gonna happen[00:03:17]
His ese partner went and opened up his trap[00:03:19]
And tell me that the odds was uneven instead of leaving[00:03:21]
I turned around and put this motherf**ker in his place[00:03:23]
And at the same time [00:03:26]
His homey all up in my ni**a T S face[00:03:27]
So I'm think we about to squab;[00:03:29]
But then the cops mob[00:03:31]
And break it up now they feeling like [00:03:32]
They did they job[00:03:33]
But here they come back up the street hella deep[00:03:34]
Talking sh*t like we wasn't gonna trip[00:03:37]
So I took the first hit[00:03:39]
And now we squabbing in the middle of the streets[00:03:40]
The odds was 3-on-6 and we still held it down[00:03:42]
Except for the one so called homey[00:03:45]
Who stood there held the radio and looked around[00:03:47]
And it seems like forever that we fought[00:03:49]
But it eventually came to a halt[00:03:51]
So then we hit the park to discuss what happened[00:03:53]
I wake up the next day [00:03:56]
These fools is talking bout capping me [00:03:57]
Taking my life over a fight nah that couldn't be right[00:03:59]
Lost sight of where I'm living Los Angeles[00:04:02]
Where fools ain't giving a f**k [00:04:03]
Stuck in the same place[00:04:05]
With decisions to make[00:04:06]
Either I kill them they kill me or I make an escape[00:04:07]
So I took the money[00:04:10]
That my step-pops left me when he passed away[00:04:11]
And moved up to the Bay only to find out[00:04:13]
Niggaz gonna have problems wherever you stay[00:04:15]
And it's been a couple of years[00:04:17]
And some of these fools is still tripping to this day[00:04:19]
So I feel I can safely say[00:04:21]
That on this planet there ain't no place like L A [00:04:22]
There ain't no place like L A [00:04:25]
Mid-City fool b**ch [00:04:27]
Heated defeated day after day[00:04:29]
Daily survival tactics in L A[00:04:32]
