Ashes

INTRO

Street life we were just babies under the street lights

Mama said life wasn't going to be nice

Well she ain't got to tell me twice

I'mma live my life yelling...

Ahhhhhh dahhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhh, ahh haha ahhhhhh

Yessssssssssss

My check is this thing on.....

VERSE 1

Remember when I used to dance for weekly per diem

Now they only get to see him in the coliseums

They rather bring me flowers to some sort of mausoleum

Boy they're out of order bring me them orchids while I'm here

Lat on the bills hungry hustlers missed a lot of meals

Mommy retired with a stroke she never got to chill

So many leaders that I loved angry shooters killed

That's from Martin Luther King to Jesse Ray Hill

You know the fame and one name but never heard the other

Say if fame is respectable one then add in your brother

Show them you love em it's so many hovering above us

My black and every single other one where we die and nothings done

It was so simple then at least we thought it was

Till we saw the thugs and took all the drugs

Want to play tagged and you got to put your feets in

Say my nursery rhyme to this motherfuckin beat then

CHORUS

Ring around the Rosie pocket full of Dodie

Standing on the corner parking loaded where my Bros be

Guzzling the drink up getting drunk now dump

Ashes ashes we're all high now

Ring around the Rosie pocket full of Dodie

Standing on the corner parking loaded where my Bros be

Guzzling the drink up getting drunk now dump

Ashes ashes we're all high now

VERSE 2

Lost so many young it gapped the generations

And they saw so many run it zapped communication

Same pack of brothers loved each other from the sandbox

Turn OPS pop at one another with God damn Glocks

Remember Mikey's Granny's Cherry icy styrofoam cups

Flipped over eat it from the bottom not the God damn top

Never ate no Ramen that didn't start with a damn top

Oriental and chicken flavor safe in a tan box

Backpack source magazine smoking bees

Hopping off the BART train in Berkeley just to see these

Zion-I to Journeyman inspired me and fellas great

Used to seeing Sunspot posted selling hella tapes

Always believe that I could boogie with my feet and win

Then that talent took me out the hood and blew me through the wind

Want to play tag you gotta put your feets in

Say my nursery rhyme to this motherfuckin beat then uhhhh.....

CHORUS

Ring around the Rosie pocket full of Dodie

Standing on the corner parking loaded where my Bros be

Guzzling the drink up getting drunk now dump

Ashes ashes we're all high now.

Ring around the Rosie pocket full of Dodie

Standing on the corner parking loaded where my Bros be

Guzzling the drink up getting drunk now dump

Ashes ashes we're all high now.

OUTRO

Street life we were just babies under the street lights
