Lyrics

Chorus
Downtown with no roof
They, keep looking at you
It’s, all smiles in your face
But, lord knows it ain’t safe
Verse 1
At all times you hoping you don’t get lined and
This environment that you living in getting tiring
Can’t go, to places where they could find him
Can’t post locations with bad timing
Keep a blick on waste
Never know who getting triggered when they see yo face
Can’t even run through the city cause that mind gon race
And post traumatic disorder causing late night shakes
Downtown with no roof
Wanna live free but you second guessing your moves
Life too real can’t be roaming acting a fool
These surviving skills ain’t being taught in a school
Might need a bulletproof
Any day they might catch you lacking and shoot
You just wanna be out careless in a coupe
But you gotta have the awareness of a troop
Chorus
Downtown with no roof
They, keep looking at you
It’s, all smiles in your face
But, lord knows it ain’t safe
Verse 2
Told me come slide to your ends
I Told her take time…
(Yeah)
Cuz, I don’t need more problems
I need a long life
(Yeah)
And they don’t care how long I’ve been losing my mind
(Yeah)
Many mistakes from my past I can never make right.
Too many just like me
Fight for the life I seek
Far does the poison reach
Slide and I lose my peace
(Ooooh)
Streets and the life they stole
I have no feelings no more
Try be the the difference I want
Praise all my brothers high up
(Oooh)
Verse 3
What do you really get from revenge?
Fears that they coming for you or one of your friends?
A lot less chances of ever making amends
Beginning every day by hoping it’s not the end
What do you really get from a get back?
A hearing where you trynna defend the reason you did that
Flashbacks of it, just wishing you could resist that
Life in a cell, no lover to give a kiss back
What are you getting for getting even?
The guilt of committing an act for bad reasons
Nightmares of seeing your enemies chest bleeding
Haunted by the memories every night when you sleeping
What do you get from retaliation?
Distance from the family, missing the celebrations
A moment to reflect on the gravity of your hatred
A chance for redemption, healing and education
