Novocaine

Verse I

've been through the worst of pains
I lost my brother, lost my cousin they was underage
The trap is set up niggas fight to make it out the maze
Flippin' tryna stack up change
Numb I took that novocaine
Down but I still overcame
Gettin' harder everyday
Youngin' he was 15 hold the 38'
No worries in his eyes I want to show him another way
Body's dropping, blood is spilling
Cycle is perpetual
Too many niggas gone for me to give up unacceptable

Hook

Aye look I know you've been down
Come on you've got to get up
Since you was born you had the crown
Long as you never give up
I had no hope for the future until I found myself
Them times I felt below when I was by myself
Nigga we stood solid
Younga nigga out the projects yea eh yea eh

Verse II

We outta options I ain't knocking nobody for doing them
Did robberies, no Socrates to read, we was influenced then
By older niggas pulling up in foreigns
Icy watch and icy chains them diamonds looking flawless
Bitchs looking gorgeous, Uh Yea
Thats until I seen the dark side
They raided it on the pharcyde
Same ones said they love you money gone you had to part ties
Hindsight with the Hawkeye uh
Cuz I don't trust em, cuz I don't trust em yea
Blinded moving faster
Won't get to close the chapter
Youngin' choking weapons he ain't get to be a paster
Push it to the limit hussle hard for what he after
Took a life for his own beautiful disaster

Hook

Aye look I know you've been down
Come on you've got to get up
Since you was born you had the crown
Long as you never give up
I had no hope for the future until I found myself
Them times I felt below when I was by myself
Nigga we stood solid
Younga nigga out the projects yea eh yea eh eh
