Suburban Hood

Hi! I'm a white dude who grew up in a city with a million

I'm privileged because of the skin I'm in and considered brilliant

I'm in Canada, glamorous you would think I've never heard shit

But in my hood suburban, the cops coming is a common occurence

We've had evictions, drug houses, strippers housed in as neighbours

But I'm a rose in concrete, flow is concrete leave the haters encased in

Situations, man before we had a fence, our yard let to the alley

Where people had sex, and thats before I was born yet into reality

And this is Calgary, I can't imagine the situations others have

On me and my brothers ave, we once got chased with a fucking axe

On our way to school, because he kicked a rock he was middle aged

Me and my brother were still little hey, but it didn't matter to his face

At that time I had never even spit a case for the illest laid

On a track, I had a neighbor evicted today,

Trying to fight cops, he wanted my mom to film the fight

And when she said no, he wouldn't let go and tries to convince her right

Shit good thing he left that night, eitherwise it might have got awkward

And I've seen some parents of kids here who were either scared and got words

Fighting ones, and act like they scary and tough hiding behind the fact

They going to grow old and they kids will be dying in cracks

Of sidewalks, while I am rising from concrete, the rose

Whether it be on beat with flows, or on another prose

I just know I'm a fucking pro, wherever I end up and go

I know I will succeed, just be fucking me, and I'll contend the throne

I mend myself and mind it, to my minds trenches I'm binded

The place I live, has some racist kids, my sentiment isn't like it

People hate the government but go the wrong way to fight the system

And other people claim they love it while the unjust die in prison

For causes not deserved of the times they spending, if its bad here

I cant imagine an area like, a stereotype in the damn weird

Climate of the states, the climates rising the stakes across nations

And here I'm off facing watching ushave got complacent

While people are told to trust god and brace it

Say thoughts and prayers, but we're not praying

We say shit to say it, this generation has to know

That these people, are deceitful we cant just say it

We need to hand a rope

 

give some goddamn hope
