Thriver - Westbank Lyrics

Wazzam...
Listen...
Just cruising on the WestBank
So many thoughts
Man I can't think
Running this marathon
I can't faint
I'm from New Orleans
But I'm no saint
God gave me a brush
So I gotta paint
I ain't worried bout shit
I'm in my own lane
I mind my business
Man I'm focus on my own thing
Tryna figure out how to get rich
And minus the fame
But I'm really just tryna maintain
Gotta stay fervent
Like them black mama's always praying
Every day it's another black man slain
And I can't lie
That shit be on my brain
I just call an iso
Like I'm James
Harden
Ion really need need a fucking a wing
Lotta shit be on my membrane
While I'm cruising thru the westbank
So many memories on this side
Used to beat everybody
In madden and live
I wish my niggaz was still alive
I wish the city gave more jobs
Poverty line
Got niggaz out here wild
Niggaz getting smoked for nothing
This shit is foul
This shit is all by design
Keep a caterpillar
Stagnated
But bitch I'm Zion
I was born to fly
Call me Ermias
Cause God will rise
Life's a game
You know I want the prize
Don't chu blink
Don't chu close your eyes
Just stay focus
And stay upon your grind
Keep that bullshit
Far away from Thy
Speak your truth
Even if you Jerry McGuire
Nobody with chu
Just yourself and God
That's all You need in this life of crime

Wazzam...
