Lyrics Slums. - darius j.

Yeah
Look, look
They threw us in the slums of the concrete jungle
Never had shit I'm the same came humble
Stumbled off the porch, I'm concerned will I crumble
In this cold world everybody packing better bundle
Searching for the light at the end of the tunnel as it dims
I begin to think I'm looking down a funnel
Will I make it for I tumble on the bodies that they jumbled
Never drop the ball around them they returning what you fumble
I'm so disgusted with all this public injustice
The government got an army but still I feel that it's just us
I seen this shit on the news politicians ain't doing nothing
Don't put your hand on my back tryna up us cause y'all the puppets
How the needs of the needy out ya budget
They push until they can budge us, the edge is close they can nudge us
In this nation we created one republic
Serenading to a grieving people singing that they love us
Same song I swear I heard it all before
I tried to keep the peace but got involved with war
Playing devil's advocate I'm all in for
This deal I'm bout to make I hope it's what I bargained for
Look, currently I've been focused on getting currency
Tryna fall in the wave of the current
See what's occurring be me who's tryna refurbish
This world before it's refurnished
With niggas preserved in hearses replacing they reimbursements
Got comments reserve the urges no need for critics reviews
My plan of action is perfect no way it can be improved
Won't see what's beneath the surface before I complete my purpose
Of making mills off these verses, I'm done when I pay my dues
Look this the truth
The shit that make em root for you ain't what I'm in the booth to boost
I know it isn't suitable or usual for youth to be spitting what's not computable
It's sick how I've been using this pen as my pharmaceuticals

Run from the slums, better run from the slums
The cops got guns, my nigga don't run
Or it's gonna be man down, another black man down
Better put your hands up, nigga what's a hand out
Understand I stand out
Nigga better run, ain't no need in feeling done
Ain't no need in feeling done
When these niggas feelings numb, nigga better run
Nigga better run
They ain't letting up for nothing, how they let em get a gun
How you let em
Fuck it here they come, tired of fighting over crumbs
Gotta stand up for something
Gotta stand up for something

Told all my niggas equip fully loaded banana clips
Leave the clip on the floor if I see em slip then I let it rip
A revolution, rebellion, a felony on my hip
We back to wading in water, they packing us on the ship
The man is stacking his chips, cracked the can to his funds then dip
We never gone see the light but my nigga I'm tryna glimpse
They put us all in the dark with no light in this full eclipse
These niggas extend they circles I never seen an ellipse
My nigga just shut your lips, you know
Plead the fifth like this don't concern me
They say I'm the truth don't speak without attorneys
Everything I say can and will be used when tables turning
All that higher learning inspired from what the fire burning
Passionate as sermons we yearning from that of Pastor Kerney
Understand my earnings from niggas I'm stretching on these gurneys
Down this righteous path who can tell what I got left to journey
Y'all could tell me half of these verdicts before the courts adjourning
Characteristics envisioned about my pigment
They're stereotypic, stereos tipping shit to the limit
Hypocrisy from these critics considered by many Christian
Who christen their children praying their living decisions different from mine
Young and black, they look at it as if it's given
Thinking I would give in to the stigma set on how we're living
Caught in an enigma I was sent to be a fucking killer
Imagine how it feel to live and be a fucking nigga
Racial tensions rise as I'm focused more on diffusing
Diluted minds with delusions been filled with these false illusions
Content with causing contusions, convinced that it ain't confusion
Instead that they been aware that my people battered with bruises
Influence these feeble minds, modern nooses disguised as Cubans
Considered by many nuisance if money don't come profusely
The word nigga thrown around loosely still I figure get in where I fit in if the crowd suit me

Run from the slums, better run from the slums
The cops got guns, my nigga don't run
Or it's gonna be man down, another black man down
Better put your hands up, nigga what's a hand out
Understand I stand out
Nigga better run, ain't no need in feeling done
Ain't no need in feeling done
When these niggas feelings numb, nigga better run
Nigga better run
They ain't letting up for nothing, how they let em get a gun
How you let em
Fuck it here they come, tired of fighting over crumbs
Gotta stand up for something
Gotta stand up for something
