Melrose951 - Tryna Get Out Lyrics

Tryna fight off temptation the feelings too strong
Tryna get out these streets, I been here too long
I been tryna Get Right, But I been living wrong
Still my name gon live on long after I'm gone

A lotta niggas not around kuz it's been hot in town
Niggas ain't sockin on they opps, they tryna knock em down
See me, I been out hustling for a while now
Been in these streets runnin wild, I got a child now
These days only concern is earning green
Where I'm from I done seen a lot of friends turn to fiends
God knows they goin thru it ain't gotta shoulder to lean
Squad full of suckas out for self no one for the team
And no one gotta dream they just sleep walking
Land of the walking dead, they don't need coffins
They don't mean what they said, they just be talkin
I been really out here sliding solo street stalking
The streets talking, so I keep an ear to what they say
This game grimy so I gotta watch the way I play
Too many game goofy guys getting in the way
It's time I take it to the top now, no delay
I'm from the bottom where nobody even try they best
You barely doing better than the rest they say you blessed
But if you stressed and depressed they just say you a mess
Then wonder why there's so much crime and chaos in effect
What you expect? But I'm different, f*ck the statistics
Though I was once known to have narcotics to solicit
My minds exquisite, I could never quite explain it to you
Forever blessed, but always cursed, that's how good game do you

Tryna fight off temptation the feelings too strong
Tryna get out the streets, I been here too long
I been tryna Get Right, But I been living wrong
Still my name gon live on long after I'm gone

Just a young man with his mind set on doing good
Doing whatever I could as a product of my hood
'Cause to make it out the hood ain't no easy task
Opportunities come slow, but they leaving fast
Got me Dr. King dreaming, 'bout being free at last
A dream is all I've got, plus this dollar that I need to last
God Damn! I mean forgive my choice words, but I got plans
I ain't tryna end up like my niggas who done got canned
Can I live the life that I'd like
Without having my mama worrying night after night
In the struggle every day feels like life is a fight
Still I keep keeping on, the good life's within sights right?
Not a chance in hell
Now that's the answer to the question what's the chance I'll fail
I can't lose, won't lose, and I won't fall
And if I don't die young, I'm gone ball
And if I don't ball, ima die grinding
They say it's a matter of time, so I'm just putting time in
I took my time when they said I couldn't rhyme
Now they be like kick a couple lines if you wouldn't mind
And I wouldn't mind, if they never doubted me
All this time, been blind to my grind, but they about to see
Me like a mountain's peak, right there at the top baby
Plain as day, f*ck what a hater got to say
