Fuji-T - Good Kid (10803) Lyrics

Let me take you back to the year 95
My life was on repeat
And with the sun in my eyes
I'm roaming
Like I'm cruising at the mall
You won't find another place to find me
But the hood I came from
And if you say that I can't rap
Cos I don't look like I belong
Look I don't really give a fuck
This is my Genesis
Cause growing up
In the hood is consequence
Not a choice
And Yeah Im speaking for my people
Way too busy to raise their voice
Yet my artistic expression
You get to call it noise

UH

On survival mode
Since I was like 4
Saw my momma get all kinds of jobs
Filling both roles
Of mom and dad
Cause the one I look like
Just turned his back
On us
What a fucking rat!

UH

Picture me just a kid
Anthony
A smart kid from the Ghetto
Maybe destined to be great
And come back a hero!

Super Nintendo, Sega, Genesis
When I was dead broke, man i couldn't picture this

This was not a dream
We had no fucking word up magazines
Just reality
Ever since i was kid i had to start grinding
Working double shifts
And hope to leave the hood behind me
Just to get some bread
I remember hearing my
Mother crying on the side of her bed
And realizing then my mom was really just a girl
Living in a world no different from cell

I decided to escape
Some spiritual enlightenment
Then I met with this chick
Christian minded and an Asian enchantment
But after claiming she was raped
She moved to the same guy's apartment
Fuck is up with the hood?
I need a claims department
If Ice Cube had a good day,
Then where the fuck is mine then?
Bitch don't kill my vibe cause you dunno where I've been
And if you dare to cross my mind
You better pray I don't find you
Cos on the mic Im Fuji-T
But Anthony es del barrio
And if you think you're playin it safe
then you don't know what I know

Super Nintendo, Sega, Genesis
When I was dead broke, man i couldn't picture this
