East of Eden

East of Eden

Written by: Cellus Hamilton

Produced by: Rozart

VERSE:

I'm like 4 bottles in...I feel my head spinning

Got a tube sock full of cash from all this bread winning

Phone ring I ain't picking up

It's a thin line for my love and the shorty ain't thick enough so I'm gone

Responsibilities leave me lone

She a alto. Steady singing me sad songs. This ain't yo outro

Mothers turned into fathers before this gender dealing

Lifetime tv run marathons of these bastard children

BRIDGE:

I took a road trip to the East to pick my "pieces" up!

Detoured through the hood and threw my peaces up

Made a home here it's bitter sweet but uhh

Gotta make a move like the lease is up

VERSE:

I'm Grateful that my Patnas in the east let me hold sumthin

So I keep this heater. Heard it's gone be a cold summer

Supposed to be in church but please do not tell my grandmother

That don't last. Life went fast. I was broke like glass

And that bucket that they passin ain't goin to me

You can keep yo two cents. But they don't mean that when it come to money tho

Ima keep it hunned tho

Flip it and stack a hunned mo

See we came from the west side

Where the best ride before they reach 25

I'm grateful to be alive

When I die, never suicide

They gone have to strip my soul away

It's Death before dishonor like the soldier say

I live by soldier words

But I don't war that way

You can learn a lot from studying my lineage

We was masters never slaves to no opinions

We owned the land and everything in it

No need in it

Really was princes and kings in it

VERSE:

Ever since that day

I repeat, I repeat, I repeat, I repeat the cycle

Tryna get where I can be, I can be, I can be right by you

There goes my effort. My human effort

Tryna piece it together

Lord knows I'm desperate it's sad lowkey depressin

See my fumblin hands

Missed opportunities but still a catch a body and scram

A character just like I'm Tommy or Pam on Martin

I change my face to match the role that I'm in like Martin

VERSE:

Holy Spirit told me

Cellus you should give em the context

East of Eden ain't a place

It's more of a mindset

Ever since Adam and Eve

We been deceived

Missing the essence...

Sewing fig leaves together

Steady fleein the presence
