Okay yeah ayy I don't know what to call it I mean what do you call an environment
That you made it out of and then you see other people that never did and they struggling
Yeah
Probably 15 in the same room with the same femes and a little youth
Grew too fast in aint no marathons most of them running four twos
Sometimes I'll just bring it back re-watch the trailer of the future too
Our predicted youth where we could've been where we headed to
Yeah and if we talking that was past tense now it's old news
My boy made it his boy made it but his other homie started medicating then he started too
A little grass and the grabba leaf now he trying to see what the powder do
What the needle do trying to see it through
I seen some talented very talented people just throw their lives away
And I just was consistent at showing up but just sad to see certain people self-destructing
Yeah I knew a shorty from the east side cool chick with a dope vibe
Smoked cigs on her down time popped meds then she snort limes
Poetic too with an art mind drama queen on the theater side
With a theater major in her undergrad
What I'm saying is a simple grasp she gave me guidance without her knowing
I slowly peeped who she had become I seen it all when she stopped growing
And moved on to do other things no bigger better but the finer things
Trouble child with the inner swings could've made it with the Ivy League
Probably Princeton the MIT's
Point is I seen her future before she seen it
That's who I was deeply scared just to be to become
I knew rock bottom though I never seen it
Just seen people never make it out
Had a thing for making good predictions
Sad to say some never made it out
I'm saying this with the best intentions
Lost too many I forgot the count
Really hoping for a better route
For me whoever I leave behind
You and yours
You and yours
You and yours
You and yours
I'm 26 now and as you get older you get to a place in life where you want to see people do good
You want the best for them
I met so many talented people to the point where if they would've shown up they would've won
They would've won in life
And they just stopped
They stopped showing up
On the east side
You and yours
You and yours
You and yours
You and yours
You and yours
You and yours
