Songtexte don't forget where you came from - 7dashine

Coming to you live from the city on fire,
They be spinning all night, got resilient ass tires
And I'm way too tired to be dealing with that energy
My pops taught me how to deal with enemies
My family the only ones next to me and
Don't mention my uncle without saying the rest in peace
That taught me vices could take you
Trying to learn to be grateful,
Never had any paper,
Never was balanced or stable,
Just let me be,
And let me breathe,
Trying to heal you but first I gotta heal me,
Addiction in my genes,
No better than a 9 hanging on my jeans,
You don't know the time that I spend with these beats
Trying to find peace before a peace find me,
Headlines type another R.I.P.
And ain't nobody pray for them
I would die for this shit,
I guess you get what you pay for

Don't lose yourself
Lose it all,
Lose it all,
Lose it all,
Was not involved
Throwing up your guard
Don't know who to call
When you lose yourself or
When you lose it all
Lose it all
Lose it all
Was not involved
Throwing up your guard
Don't know who to call
When you lose yourself
Or when you lose it all (yeah)
Lose it all, lose it all

Yeah, don't think about it
I got dreams in this house,
I'm gonna make it out it,
Put it all on myself,
Fuck how you feel about it,
That's how you feel about it,
Who gonna talk about it
Old memories
Got tenancies
Of forgetting what they said to me,
Mama working heavily,
With the recipe
Yeah, when she barely had a dollar to her name,
Selling product on the side tryna get paid,
Tryna protect us and tryna raise
Three boys with a daughter on the way,
We gon' be okay,
It ain't the same kids tryna raise kids,
And I'm still tryna make it through my day shift
I got no patience,
Where you rep
Who you aim at
That type of shit, will make you anxious,
It get dangerous,
When you grow up with no one to turn to
And it feel like the city tryna hurt you,

Don't lose yourself
Lose it all,
Lose it all,
Lose it all,
Was not involved
Throwing up your guard
Don't know who to call
When you lose yourself or
When you lose it all
Lose it all
Lose it all
Was not involved
Throwing up your guard
Don't know who to call
When you lose yourself
Or when you lose it all (yeah)
Lose it all, lose it all

Can't take the blame for your mentality as a youth,
The big dreams you thought you had were never true,
The jobs you hate can't even pay when the rent is due,
And now you homesick reminisce when you went to school,
The south side thought you made it out, cause it's some girls you knew,
Better call your mom, she gone, it's not going through,
You wanna run from the city so bad, but you never will,
Cause the city's in you
