Downr1v3r Written by: TiKkO Verse: 1 Everybody wanna, talk that street-shit/ (but) Noone talks about a, street kid's secrets/ Yeah- They talk about, they're rings and sneakers/ (but) What about, when I dreamed of eatin'?!/ My uncle reachin', for that puncture fiendin/ My cousin buggin' him, for drugs and schemin/ My mother screamin', like "I'm fuckin' leavin'!"/ My father bounced, but we don't fuckin' need him!/ But thats nothin, you can rock ya chain/ And tell all these kids, about ya rocks of caine/ Who otherwise, would've heard some rock and changed/ but now they glorify the rocks, and dont know why you slang/ You never tell 'em, that ya mom's addicted/ And howe never,got to buy you christmas/ Now you grind, everytime you flip bricks/ So you can buy yourself, all that shit on your wishlist/ Verse: 2 I hope to God, this aint touchin your heart/ Your own fate, relate to nothin thus far/ Cause if it do, then you were fucked from the start/ (Ya just) Hear and feel it, like a slug in the dark/ Rhymin' to these beats, I can find my inner peace/ While these other peeps, preachin' violence in the streets/ Runnin' wild, wonderin why they're in the clink/ Life BEEN fucked, -I'm just tryina get a piece/ (so) I aint tryina be, all "high and mighty"/ (cause) Prison bars, are HIGHLY likely/ I'm a victim, of my pride and might be/ Just a minute from yellin, "Come outside and fight me!"/ (Now) Dont you, go and try to blame ME/ I just, what SOCIETY made me/ Poverty lives, the same side as crazy/ There's a thin line, and I'm on BOTH sides- DAILY!!/ Verse: 3 [I wont let you go], I hold my past/ Like its forged from glass, and if I fall on my ass.../ (STILL...) [I wont let you go], To the memory/ of my friend- forever we, rock beats and melodies/ (and) [I wont let you go], Like this mic/ That I hold so tight, Keep hope within sight/ (and then) [I wont let you go], My word is bond/ Keep my open arms strong, Keep the whole world in my palm!!/.. My homey Cliff, told me "Rome you a god"/ (I was) Sorta surprised, but then he opened my eyes/ He told me I ALONE, hold my soul at this time/ He spoke of Babylon, and how they sowed they demise/ No longer blind, I shot back in my chair/ (Yeah) Holdin the planet, on a strand of my hair/ Before the question's asked, the answer was there/ (like) If I'm God, WHY DONT I ANSWER MY PRAYERS?/
