Let me ease you on down my
Let me ease you on down my block,
let me ease you on down my block
Yo, where I'm from it ain't
Brothers hardly reach for a dream,
Hit the benches for cream,
Niggas never leavin' home,
the hood is on they sleeve
so when they borrow us home
stare all in your face, talk all greasy
That's just the East Beach,
but yo, we all are soldiers
Still these hate -hauntin' niggas,
Most of us aiming for the figures
Either way the grind don't stop,
Where I'm from, a hustler's rare
I push pins till the customer's here
I'm the last of a dyin' breed
Let me ease you on down my block
Let me ease you on down my block
Let me ease you on down my block,
let me ease you on down my block,
Let me ease you on down my block,
let me ease you on down my block,
Let me ease you on down my block,
let me ease you on down my block
And the fact is, youngins lack glasses,
they quit the cut faster than battle axes
They read through glasses,
just liquor labels, no restrictions to em
Poison straight rushing through em'
Elders ain't reaching to em'
That's the nature of the beast
So no college institutions in they future
No computing in they future
This illusion of the future got me tired
Thinking about my children's future
So I hope I'm getting through to ya
We gotta teach them young
Cause where I'm from ain't no
different from where you from
Between the hard stairs and the gun pits
A heart and a mind that follows
So the mind that's bottled
past the tenement buildings
Innocent killings by killers and villains
Black clouds is the silence,
so for sun to shine is rare
Keep young and unprepared
Let me ease you on down my block
Let me ease you on down my block
Let me ease you on down my block
Let me ease you on down my block
Let me ease you on down my block
Let me ease you on down my block
let me ease you on down my block
Let me ease you on down my block
