Текст песни From The South - Kali M

I'm up early in the morning cuz I gotta go get it
Tryna hustle for every dollar that the government printed
Yeah, they do what they can, I do the job till it's finished
I do the prove why I'm qualified for the prize of the mission
Hear them dissin' up for views, I can't go out as no gimmick
I just speak up from the heart while holdin' on to my image
So from start to finish, every lyric I pen it
And when they jack, son, they know who's in control
Like Janet

I'm from the South
Ain't no safe zone on them corners bullets touch you then you out
Niggas judge you by a cover, but won't read about what you bout
Daddy's in and out the system or they in and out the house
This the truth up out my mouth, givin' views from the South
Off the wake in there's a break get the kids up out the house
Ain't no warnings on no warrants, once they take you, then you out
You question intentions, you did them right, but they left you out
He outside lookin' in, but this just views from the South

Rap dreams, hoop dreams, yeah it's shared by many
50 on the speakers, big queens get the money
Many men, many, many
Whole hood felt it when they went and broke the news about Lenny
Goddamn, why Lenny? Years later, Amir
I wish the driver skipped her stop, D'Asia would've been here
But it's clear, gotta live life, cause that end could be near
But at what cost do we chase our dreams in a place full of fear
We got mothers birthin' daughters, then they bury they daughters
Fathers losin' sons from the bullets, placed in that gun
I thank God every day that I made it to 20
Cuz in my hood, you super lucky if you see 21
Them savages try to get you gone by 19, 17, 16
My daddy brother did 16 then disappeared from the scene
Survival of the fittest on the very streets of Queens
But this some shit you gotta see to believe

I'm from the South
Ain't no safe zone on them corners bullets touch you then you out
Niggas judge you by a cover, but won't read about what you bout
Daddy's in and out the system or they in and out the house
This the truth up out my mouth, givin' views from the South
Off the wake in there's a break get the kids up out the house
Ain't no warnings on no warrants, once they take you, then you out
You question intentions, you did them right, but they left you out
He outside lookin' in, but this just views from the South

Yeah, it's views from the South
Yeah, it's views from the South, nigga

Views from the South
So much profit off the re-up, can't get caught up in no drought
Some days we inspired, and some days we tired
But when the wind blows, you never let it put out the fire
I watched niggas come and go when it was down to the wire
But for a fact, no niggas in the game realer than Tyra
