Malcolm

Look, once upon a time around the South side

A young black man grew up in a house

Had a pops he never knew with a mom that's strung out

His granny care less, just about say, he will never make it out

Out of the hood and had a handful of aunties that could vouch

Young **** named Malcolm, all his homies called him Malc

His big brother off in college, Malcolm took another route

From gang-banging, 'caine slanging, Moms threw him out the house

Stuck on probation on and off, since 13, been in and out

Soon as he turned 17, shit got super wild

Still a juvenile, he just toting Rugers now

And shooting now, streets got 'em, Malcolm roofless now

Moms still getting higher than a muhfucker

Malcolm used to cry at night, shit a muhfucker

Asked his self why every time he lie at night

Sometimes he even pray to God and wish he die at night

He grown now, here to get it on his own and

He know nobody gon' be there when alone and

So fuck it, he just gon' continue doing wrong then

One day, he woke up, left the house, and he forgot it

But something inside told him, Malcolm, leave the ratchet

But he ain't worry, he been letting **** have it

All this life, he been banging, stealing, robbing

Killing, living heartless, foolish, Godless

Stopped to get some Swishers from the supermarket

Usually leave the car in neutral but he parked it

Looked in his rearview, two ****, black Charger

Black hoodies, black masks, black carvers

He know it's over, try to duck, they start sparking

Shells popping everywhere, Malc, get outta there

He going crazy 'cause he knew it, Malcolm fire

Car hit up, windows out, but that was minor

Perfect setting, it just wasn't Malcolm's time yet

Rush in the house, yell out to Moms, where my iron at?

And now he getting high, I don't know where his mind at

**** was masked up, he don't know where to find 'em

Was getting out and he ain't know who was behind him

But when he catch a **** slipping, gon' remind 'em

So weeks later, Malc right back in that action

Whip Vicks, new tints, painted, sliding

Malc riding late night, round 3 something

But young and focused, he just looking and he peeped something

Charger parked, car on, he see the heat running

Bitch, hop in the passenger, he tryna freak something

Malcolm ready, his adrenaline just keep rushing

But he ain't bugging, he don't want homie to see him coming

He gon' wait 'cause when he run up, he ain't leaving nothing

Fuck around and hit the bitch up, he ain't even bluffing

Look what Malcolm got now, yeah, this his lucky day

He on a mission, watch the Charger pull off right away

Sweet as fuck, **** pulled right up the way state

Ain't even watching, Malcolm trail a **** all the way

He super geeked, been tryna catch some action all the day

Charger pulling in, parking in a driveway

Malcolm parked some houses down, he finna violate

But something tell 'em, Malc, you might was well go all the way

You came this far before you spark 'em, might as well rob 'em

Walked right into the safe, it was a piece of cake

Gave him three hunnid K and Malcolm blew his face away

Ain't give a fuck, that **** up, he gave the bitch a break

But Feds watched the whole thing while they investigate

They had surveillance on the ****'s house since yesterday

Malc running out the backdoor with the cheese

Ks pointed in his face, don't move, freeze

His mind racing, run, throw the gun, shoot, squeeze

But Malcolm came right to this senses, got down on his knees

The saddest thing about life, it keep revolving

Same story, different ****, same apartments

Same gutter, same group of people starving

Malcolm coulda stayed in school and got a job though

But this was all that Malcolm knew, he from Chicago

Compare and contrast if Malc was from a rich town

His whole life was planned out since he was six pounds

Lemme break it to a core so you can focus more

At the age he started puberty, he was smoking weed

His eighth grade graduation, he was toting heat

His freshman year of high school, he was posted

Before he saw his senior year, his life was over

Over, it's over

It's over, over
