The Tank

Used to be gold chains and grey tees
Cerato the ac on throttle just surfing the potholes
Parked for a convo round' midnight we had to be humbled we rolling up combos
And the kits in the front
Black Hilux pull up 6 in the trunk
Guns pointed talking slick from the jump
Joints carried from the seats in the front
Placed my g at the back of the mini-truck
They right at the back of us
We deep in the jungle
I proceed to respond to
Everything that they wanted
I hate giving em’ money
Feel I’m giving em’ nothing
I can see what he wanted
Every night it’s the samе
Pulling up to the station
Sitting next to the cеll
I can’t let him see fear
That’ll jack up the cost
Keep the mask on of course
It’s just me and my dawg

That was Just another night
Sars pulling up on me looking like a fight
I was on my way to the airport for a flight
Had to stay cool cause the effort of a shout didn’t make it to my mouth
(Where's your id)
Handed em’ a card said Bantu on the seal
I was so chill copper didn’t know how to feel
Supervisor talking bout we got another kid doing scams on the real
Internet fraud
Hushpuppy money guess it gets you these broads
But it gets you locked up
What it does to your heart?
I can never know
I been working from the start
704
Nights in the dark with the lantern turned up
I been turning these words
Where’s the melody love
Rap singer from these funk singers go figure
Jazz singers and some jazz records pops into
Blasting it every chance given his living
Jazzhole I was back in it 07'
Terna working shifts blast records all day then
I would jump in it pass by on occasion
Bumped into Blackmagic watching Sage Hassan
Guys that I grew up just watching as a yougn'
He Lived on the 6th floor Kanye obsession
Or was it 5th floor blurry in my recollection
Sitting on his floor watching FIFA for a second
08' told me oh wait heard your tape
Flow great come to my place for a take
Ikon told me oh wait you’re Suté
Efe told me how your skate on these breaks
Never did record with those greats but it’s gravy
They probably don’t remember times changing no hesi
Sometimes you get exposed real quick real early
Eyes open brain processing what it sends me

I was talking cool early
Didn’t grow rich but we good love healthy
Moms in my ear bout coming back early
I was hard of hearing when it came to independence
Middle child blues no one in the house to share with
Never got a bike but my brothers' they were settled
So you face the world like you gotta solve your troubles
Keep it to yourself always doubting all the loving
Lucky I was stubborn
Woulda been suppressed my emotions all a mess
Mama look at me I’m flying with an S up on my chest
And you know the rest
Memories connect had to get it off my chest

Memories connect had to get it off my chest

Memories connect had to get it off my chest
