[Intro: Julius Luciano]
It's hard to estimate the nation's homeless population
So we shouldn't add them into the equation
That's what people think
See we shouldn't wait for the Census Bureau to acknowledge them
We a part of them
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link
Before we reach the brink of destruction, we can reach an understanding
At least I'm wishing we would
Its aight, I'm a bum too
By which i mean B.U.M
A Brother Unfairly Misunderstood
#truestory
[Verse 1: Julius Luciano]
Yo, where I'm from the have-nots feel like refugees
With no refuge, I'm trapped, who's gonna rescue me
All of my life I've been caught in this fight
I'm in a boxing ring, no referee
As a child I was homeless, wait let me strike a scene
Eleven years old, been in these scary streets for weeks
With one parent, my family portrait never been complete
I'm asking every pedestrian to spare some sympathy
They stare as if I reek of excrement
They speak so arrogant and keep
Their distance as if they can't bare the stench of me
They scared as if I reach, and steal their shit
But I'm innocent. Never been a thief
Can't spare a cent to me
Embarrassment's the least of my concerns
What to do now?
Me and my family stuck on the ground
Stomach is starting to rumble and growl
Clenching it tight to muffle the sound
Starting to feel like a stray dog
But at least they get picked up by the pound
Down on my luck, no luck to be found
I pray to God, looking up in the clouds
[Hook 1: Julius Luciano]
A young nigga with no place to go, and you can see I'm homeless
Switch the "m" for a "p", and now I'm hopeless
I'm losin' my mind
How will I focus?
Where will I go?
Where will I go?
Feels like I'm walking round aimlessly
I'm so lost, feels like I've lost days of sleep
As I fall, to my knees, somebody pray for me
O woah
Where will I go?
Where will I go?
[Verse 2: Kenny Siegel]
In case you wonder why I don't mind stunting
A skeeting for an hour has been a long time coming
I was a little nigga, who was homeless
Who's empty pockets needed a fill-up
But I wasn't approached by a Drummond
Live or cats got killed for kicks and bass
Nope not drumming
Talking low-tops and coke rocks from know-nots dumbing
.45 busting
Wasn't old enough to go job-hunting
Standing 4'5" hustling
Picture that like camera-men
Our society is garbage
If home is where the heart is
This is why I'm heartless
This is why I'm starving
Flashbacks of raindrops drizzling while your dark bitch
Sitting by the park bench
Like this is my apartment
This is why my bars sick
Their darker than the tar-pit
I should feel like I'm carsick
From so much drive, fuck them haters who mouth-run
Failure is an option, not just a possible outcome
[Hook 1: Julius Luciano]
[Verse 3: Demetrius Capone]
Ok. This is real talk shit
Sleeping on the park bench
Starving as darkness falls
And we all kids
Talking to God, saying we drowning
Where's our ship?
Noah's Ark departed without us
Now we got this hardship
No apartment, car, or house
And now my savage heart gets
Darker than the darkness
Now this cat is heartless
I'm praying for some brighter days so I can talk shit
I'm waiting on my father's grave so I can hauk spit
All of my aunts disowned us
And now we all alone plus
They called the law on us
To throw us off in a foster home
Cuz we never had a home to call our own
But y'all can go suck our fucking dicks you fucking bitches
Now that we all are grown up
I'm trying to buy a house and a childhood
Ask me for a handout, I wish thou would
If you ain't been through what I been through, then I don't trust you
If you ain't struggled, then hustled, nigga fuck you
[Hook 2: Kobe]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Our father, who are in heaven
Hope you hear me, man these streets are crazy, yeah
Our father, hope you hear me
I know you see me
Man this is all I got, okay?
This is all I got, okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4: Andrew 'Dice' Dinero]
I'm from a place where enemies keep Glocks exploding
So I burn beef like pots without non-stick coating
Watch the profit you clock, or your guap get stolen
Protect yourself at all time, I don't mean cops and Trojans
Cops patrolling and raiding shit
Niggas without electricity get it turned on themselves, Raiden shit
You gotta have a strong will to escape the shit
Cause success is related to Will, like Jaden Smith
I'm married now, the hustle-games' my bitch
Dedication is the anchor that holds down a relationship
I told her 'You Belong With Me', Taylor Swift
Persistence is a virtue, like patience is
My niggas trying to get major rich, selling green plants
Selling out the Garden, like when major teams play the Knicks
I'm from where niggas end up in jail or the morgue
Fallen soldiers live by, and fell by the sword
Them hammers hit everything except nails through a board
People hollering bout college, but you'll (Yale) get ignored
Hustler's got no Focus, so to hell with a Ford
People pushing whips, you wonder who the hell could afford
More souls get sold than Hell could afford
Cops watching everything, but fail to record
Police brutality, these streets is Amity-Ville
I see calamity, what I speak is actually real
I'm speaking candidly, I need a piece of sanity
But I'm trying to feed my fam, even if people have to be killed
Real recognize real if you don't seem familiar
If the truth hurts, then what I speak will kill ya
Life is hard, in fact, damn right unfair
But I'm a winner nigga, damn right fuck yeah
I'm living like I don't have one care
But I'm a stay drawn until I'm roommates with the Man upstairs
Kobe sing
[Hook 2: Kobe]
