Ghetto Birds - Mystic[00:00:00]
With your name in wet concrete you still ain't own the block[00:00:34]
Let your money counter tick time still gone tock[00:00:36]
You could walk around in a hennesey bliss[00:00:39]
'N' keep f**kin them b**ches that you ain't even kiss[00:00:42]
You could keep gettin high with them tears in your eyes[00:00:44]
'N' tellin yourself you like f**kin them guys[00:00:47]
You got mountains of things get money[00:00:49]
They not high enough to save you when the troops come runnin[00:00:54]
'N' your shiny new hummer that ain't strong enough[00:00:57]
To withstand the bombs they gone drop on us[00:00:59]
They got us killin ourselves numbin our brains[00:01:02]
They buggin our phones 'n' fannin the flames[00:01:05]
We damn near got our hands out beggin for more[00:01:07]
Forget creepin through the window they walkin through the front door[00:01:10]
The mystery ain't no mystery at all[00:01:12]
Think you doin big things love they let you ball[00:01:15]
Like they let our babies die 'n' lock us in cells[00:01:17]
Like our youth ain't got no options it ain't hard to tell[00:01:20]
It's a war goin on that you thinkin that you safe from[00:01:23]
But you like me in the scope of they gun[00:01:25]
Ghetto birds[00:01:27]
Here they come[00:01:29]
Creepin through your window[00:01:34]
Ghetto birds[00:01:40]
Here they come[00:01:43]
Walkin through your font door[00:01:43]
Tell me where will you go[00:01:45]
Our minds have been blinded by a twisted system[00:01:48]
They got us thinkin if we paid then we different[00:01:50]
We're educated to destroy ourselves[00:01:52]
To piece by piece dismantle true self[00:01:55]
It's no where to run nowhere to hide[00:01:58]
Even when we askin questions they only tellin lies[00:02:01]
My sore eyes weep like the shanandoah flows[00:02:03]
Lord knows peace of mind is hard to hold[00:02:06]
When our people seem resigned to destroying our divine[00:02:08]
Our warriors and soldiers can't make a front line[00:02:11]
What's the point of havin kids if we can't love ourselves [00:02:13]
Listen to the innocents they screamin for help[00:02:18]
We in full battle but we asleep on the fields[00:02:21]
With our hands over our ears like the bullets ain't real[00:02:24]
I'm so tired of speakin faith into space[00:02:26]
Hope when the horns cry I can see your face[00:02:28]
Ghetto birds[00:02:30]
Here they come[00:02:31]
Creepin through your window[00:02:35]
Ghetto birds[00:02:42]
Here they come[00:02:43]
Walkin through your font door[00:02:44]
Tell me where will you go[00:02:47]
So many ways so many courses of action[00:03:00]
So many underhanded schemes to break us into fractions[00:03:02]
I try laughin just to soothe my sorrows[00:03:04]
Watch the neighbourhood kids picturin tomorrow[00:03:07]
We on borrowed time with borrowed nines[00:03:09]
'N' they d**e in our pockets on enemy mines[00:03:12]
Understand I judge no one or they path[00:03:15]
I love some true life killers who know I still ask[00:03:17]
What you think it'd be like if we were really prepared [00:03:20]
'N' they call me a dreamer say they ain't know 'n' ain't scared[00:03:22]
I stared at this rhyme for days and prayed[00:03:25]
On the last night heard at least fifty shots sprayed[00:03:27]
Then ghetto birds 'n' screechin sirens[00:03:30]
Could vomit from the violence bless they soul in calm silence[00:03:32]
I'm just tired of the death 'n' folks turnin they cheek[00:03:35]
Like the conspiracy ain't real and we own these streets[00:03:38]
Ghetto birds[00:03:41]
Here they come[00:03:42]
Creepin through your window[00:03:44]
Ghetto birds[00:03:52]
Here they come[00:03:54]
Creepin through your window[00:03:55]
Ghetto birds[00:04:02]
Here they come[00:04:03]
Walkin through your font door[00:04:06]
Tell me where will you go[00:04:08]
Ghetto birds[00:04:13]
Here they come[00:04:14]
Creepin through your window[00:04:23]
Ghetto birds[00:04:26]
Tell me where will you go[00:04:33]
Here they come[00:04:39]
