No Resting

Chorus (x2)
There was no time for resting
I saw the people and places that I was destined
And every move that made without question
Paid from my investment
I'm a just a young kid in Dennison

Verse One
East 15 and I’m chilling, I’m in my teens
Big Bro has left home, still living up in the D
He always came to visit, at times would disagree with my father
Have a heated conversation then he’d leave
But we love each other deeply
Sometimes in family’s we rub each other the wrong way
Especially when you tired and you having a long day
And you just wanna rest, kick back, relax chill
Now Debt Collectors knocking for my Step-Mom’s tax bill
They threatening to take away my shit and it wasn’t my debt
But took six hundred out and gave em’ all of it
And I’m thinking what a Bitch! and she didn’t even pay me back
My Pops took the hit, man she on another tip
Around that time I started thinking life was unfair
I formed the attitude that I got only one year to go get it
No limits, my whole spirit
And couldn't figure out why some people are so timid
Went to my first funeral, it left me jaded
I came home and felt weighted from my school friend David passing away
The sky went grey and then the sky fell
And felt the same when it was Kidco from Tribel
Rest in peace, we used to play each other beats
And his music was the dopest in the streets, no question
Tomorrow‘s never promised, everyday is a blessing
That’s why I make an album every year, no resting

Chorus

Verse Two
I couldn’t cope with the roaches
Made it harder to focus on my dopeness
Pest control so hopeless
And I noticed them every other moment
Eventually they went away
I'm closest to my Brother out of all of my family
In 2002 we all got hit with a tragedy
I lost my Grandmother and my Uncle within sixty days of each other
I’m standing under coffin and it’s a shoulder crusher
It was the heaviest thing I’ve ever had to hold up
Now in heaven they sing, I’m finding as a grown up
Life’s a difficult thing, so everyday I woke up
Put my heart and my soul into music to blow up
Thinking back to Consist and JQ
J was my best friend, but he went away to Prison back in the day
When we were adolescents and chillin’ around the way
And everything was sweet! it’s never doom and gloom
I’m learning everything I can about life living out of me and Reuben’s room
I made so many friends and I met a lot of people
I was a good kid, but did a couple things illegal
It’s like you live and you learn, we live in world where
Everyone is kinda submerged in something they heard
But I’mma live like I’m making a testament
To just doing my very best, yup! No resting
