lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a little city called Jennings where ya find me
Where I learned the hustle and finance
Yeen been fucked up yeen been down bad
I can’t relate to ya clown ass
Just some young niggas
We was trapped in the matrix
Blue pill all we needed was some patience
Painted on the Bando my city need a facelift
I just hope the youth will embrace it
Made a lot of money off the shit that I been painting
My wrist shine I don’t even need a bracelet
Make it out the city you gon probably need a plug
Type of shit is rare cause it really ain’t no love
I ain’t talkin riri but Niggas movin fenty
Junkies up early spending they last penny
Pops use to jugg he was Moving with the semi
Police at the visit every time he would see me

[Hook]
You just one swerve away from crashing out
You was one fit away from spazzing out
Judge got life sentences and he pass them out
Ain’t no need in calling for the pastor now
Pour up my pain watch me drown in it
Life ain’t been fair cuz I’m brown-skinned
Pardon my melanin
My melanin

[Verse 2]
Lil black boy you gon rap or go to the league
Please Tell me that I can achieve
Maybe ill grow up I’ll own my own gallery
I’ll pay myself fuck a salary
Equal opportunity man that shit a false reality
Type of shit that will FUCK up your sanity
Hop in the whip do the dash down 70
Hoping that the stans don’t flag me
If they pull me over gotta act all casually
Hate to be a victim of brutality
Just a little insight on how we was brought up
We was really different but they never really taught us
Single parent home all we missin was a father
Didn’t make a difference young nigga still prosper
A positive product of my environment
If you been watching I kno it’s inspiring

[Hook x2]
You just one swerve away from crashing out
You was one fit away from spazzing out
Judge got life sentences and he pass them out
Ain’t no need in calling for the pastor now
Pour up my pain watch me drown in it
Life ain’t been fair cuz I’m brown skinned
Pardon my melanin
My melanin

You just one swerve away from crashing out
You was one fit away from spazzing out
Judge got life sentences and he pass them out
Ain’t no need in calling for the pastor now
Pour up my pain watch me drown in it
Life ain’t been fair cuz I’m brown skinned
Pardon my melanin
My melanin
