lyrics

HOOK
Dirty sneakers and filthy shoe laces
(The raw shit I’m traveling the 52 states with)
Dirty sneakers and filthy shoe laces
(The pages, i pen em wit the pain from the pavements)
Dirty sneakers and filthy shoe laces
(Be patient but takes risks all i gotta say is just)
Dirty sneakers and filthy shoe laces
(Be hangin on the power lines danglin’)

T.Lucas V1
Aerodynamical flow with a panoramic glow
Tryna wash my sins clean with some janitors soap
Go back and forth like a palindrome i manage to cope!
Working a 9-5 even my managers broke
How shall i survive i without handling dope?
Orchestrated and pull the strings like a mandolin note
All I ever wanted was to be branded the GOAT
And get a couple Grammys so my granny would know
Instead i wake up on the floor of the basement, roaches crawling adjacent
Now THAT’S what i call a motivation
Why I’m still in this bitch and I ain’t make it out yet?
Why i ain’t got no shoes? And no latest outfit?
5 shots near my window neighborhood got hit
Another war story memorial, the rain droplets
Is pouring down the sidewalk, where bums hustle change,
Newport’s then they slide off. Ratchet bitch use ya kids as a tax write off
For 24 hour stores that never take a nite off
Pepco cut the lites off
I paint a picture over ya heads… Michaelangelo!
For every ounce of blood that was shed on white canvas souls


HOOK

Jda4th V2
Pulled over for the 5th time
Put ya hand on the steering wheel or the bullets right through ya left eye
Skin color is the crime so they grip on the holsters
Mix us in the same bowl like chipotle orders
Whether you got dirty sneakers or 20 bands and a Hummer
You can get laid down on the streets like a manhole cover
It’s the life I live at the scene of the venue
Schizophrenic mother drunk and a brother with issues
Little sister got caught up in the system
SunGard taken from her man I really miss him
Cousin caught a heart attack weeks from his birthday
His living legacy is an eight ball and a mixtape
What am I to do with this every nigga I grew up with
Drink sorrows from a bottle or drugs that’s gratuitous
I’m sick of all the foolishness I know just what to do with this
Get stronger in your mind and shine like the newest kicks/
