Текст песни Underground - Kid Buddha

I said it's Buddha just a kid a lil nigga from the underground
Not a tourist spot my block hot you shouldn't come around
Member pops told me why you always keep ya gun around
N I was only 9 when he told about n showed me how
Said kids put down they fists n they ain't fighting like when I grew up
We was only shooting if the beef was even deep enough
Now niggas ain't even teens totin beams that'll leave ya stuck
Niggas visions clouded by the streets n shit I seen enough
You ain't have it gotta take it and that's just how we was living
First hand witnessed curses turn my cousins into killas
Living how we did you'd be influenced by conditions
Moms evicted dads in prison sure influenced our decisions
One thing they taught us young is it's survival of the Fittest
But I guess that shits different n the times changed
We just looked as statistics to the crime rate
Left the hood but still living in that mind state
Thinking back when Mickey D's was out the price range
Remember nights I couldn't sleep was 3 deep on the twin bed
No home I walked alone on nights I really shoulda been dead
Signed up for this life but the fine print I misread
The cycle just repeats cause we ain't listen to what been said
A long dark road I walk alone to make it home
I put my faith into this chrome because some niggas want my dome
13 when I was grown collect calls on the phone
Adapted early to this life the only way we ever known
You niggas heard my last song n how I'm coming for the throne
They say it's lonely at the top I say it's lonely on the road up
I took my dream for real a lotta niggas didn't show up
They at the bottom or the top the in between don't get no love
Cause niggas at the bottom say you fake when you blow up
N the niggas at the top wasn't wit you till the glow up
So when you in the middle pay attention to who show love
Put it all on the table I said fuck it lemme take the risk
Slum lords n drug money was how a nigga paid the rent
Some up food on my plate I still remember days I prayed for this
We was cursed at birth niggas like us ain't posed to make the switch
Cuz at the bottom we was plotting or we ain't got no way to live
Outta options fuck the talkin man I gotta take this shit
Was risking lives every night nigga you wasn't made for this
It's unconditional how many times I gotta say this shit

Buncha orphans out here rapping cuz I ain't got the time to babysit
Controller 2 ain't working you could never play the game I'm in
Niggas ain't even in my vids don't ever say you gave me shit
Gorillas dope dealers and killas from the jungle
Ain't have no childhood even babies had to hustle
Was in Huggies gettin money I was raised to never fumble
Ain't never seen you on the block so how you got it off the muscle
I know niggas born addicted never make it out the struggle
Man I gotta go n risk it
Nigga look how we was living
I gotta family who been switching
How the fuck am I gon trust you
My heart been feeling different I ain't switching if I love you
I been holding on to a lotta shit that I can't undo
But when I sit down n look around some shit I shouldn't complain about
I made it out the hood I really got up out the cages now
Still got some niggas I know who's never gon make it out
God must've missed the other niggas I used to pray about
