Homeless
Lyrics
Right under the bridge, that's where I live
About 12 years ago wifey left with the kids
Yeah I had a habit, a dependency automatic
Nigga if it gets me high, I gotta have it
Shoot up smoke it sniff it terrific I'm gifted
Doing stick ups without a biscuit
Just to get the cash at last a megeblast
Standing on the corner for change I never asked
Yeah, even the coldest days
My lil cuz seen me last week and told his raise
Now the whole family acting all shifty, it pissed me
The fuck off so I stepped off with the quick speed
Fast in a hurry, saw my nigga Murray
Said he got that wet wet make your vision blurry
I had to hustle, snatch a chain it cause a tussle
Yo, don't make me pull this thing out and bust ya
I fought a war for the country I live
Put my life on the line what else you want me to give
Even thinking that this war was wrong I move along
Just did my 3rd tour it's the same ole song
By the time I come home all my babies are grown
Wifey showing me eviction notes maybe I zoned
Cause something happened, benefits it wasn't cracking
1st of the month, yo my whole family was packing
Nowhere to stay sleeping in a Chevrolet
Lucky if a hotel but it ain't everyday
See I know the V.A. and GI-Go
But my minds so twisted I don't see why go
Delusional from Post-Traumatic stress
Suicidal thoughts it's a massive test
To have no food and shelter on any given night
I need help god, cause I ain't living right tonight
I walk in this Amerikkkan jungle
Far away from home so I remain humble
Cause the man that controls this land, I mean stole this land
Will touch you with the coldest hands
Ask the Indian, just look around and count how many's in
Today's society I wouldn't get to twenty twin
Their indigenous we were brought here
Stripped of the culture and our language taught fear
They said hate thy self and imitate my wealth
Cause you'll never have it you'll just chase it but never have
That never mattered cause we were bought then sold
Bartered like sugar, clothing and even gold
Told our religion was fake stripped of our name
Now he calling me his like this is our gang
You might see me on stage and it say J. sands
