 [CHORUS] 
 Em
 The rain couldn't understand it
 Em
 The pain made them understand, shit
 Em
 The sun tried to understand, the gun made me understand
 Em
 The wind tried whisperin' the warnin'
 Em
 The land shakin', plus the rhythm is enormous
 Em
 All the forces like a portal to a vortex
 Em
 Connected to the stars, just projecting where we part at
 Em
 Pull up where you park at
 Em
 Aim a little dart (Lil' bitch)
 Em
 Where your bark at?

 [VERSE] 
 Em
 It'd be a shame if you stayed in them 'partments
 Em
 12 barely еven came to them 'partmеnts
 Em
 Catch a play then parlay in them apartments
 Em
 I swear it's like a party every day in them 'partments
 Em
 You was raised in them 'partments, dang
 Em
 Jump a shot or join a gang in them 'partments
 Em
 My mama say we gotta get away from them 'partments, 
 Em
 it's graves in them 'partments
 Em
 And it ain't gotta end this way 'cause we ain't start shit (Huh, look, okay)
 Em
 I don't give a fuck about no industry beef
 Em
 Ain't nobody give a fuck when Tay was dead in the street
 Em
 I don't do the shit you see on the screens
 Em
 I been tapped in with true things
 Em
 I peep your rap cap and I unscrew things
 Em
 I don't give a fuck about them niggas at the top
 Em
 The biggest nigga on the block could still get shot
 Em
 Pop, you thinkin' Pac, I'm thinkin'— (Brr)
 Em
 Can't talk about that shit from— (You gotta chill out), you seen Fox?
 Em
 Lisan al Gaib, I see a tiny line of silver
 Em
 A way to make a play, although they say it's unfamiliar
 Em
 It's off the kilter, I say the words without a filter
 Em
 You gotta have nerve, it'll make you strong if it don't kill ya
 Em
 I'll put a bullet in Bob the fuckin' Builder
 Em
 'Fore they try and kick us out the building, what about the children?
 Em
 When I check a news channel, I get a similar feelin', but still
 Em
 We gon' make it to Heaven, high water or Hell
 Em
 But don't take the highways
 Em
 285 behind the damn wheel, it's like a driveway
 Em
 Givin' all I could give Christ and I'd do it twice
 Em
 Shai Gilchrist, heard thunder hit with lightning
 Em
 And still I didn't feel shit, talk about resilience
 Em
 Off of Stone Mountain, Lithonia where I honed into my brilliance
 Em
 It was after then I took my talents right up to Virginia
 Em
 Heard they said the shit for lovers, shit was gutter, shit was gritty
 Em
 I could tell you what it was, 
 Em
 but let bruh tell you what I'm missin', pay attention

 [VERSE] 
 Em
 What's missin' in my hood, I identified
 Em
 Then I brought white to my hood, shit, I gentrified
 Em
 We had military arms, we was semper fi'
 Em
 Point blank, let me simplify
 Em
 I been light post corner boy, green box sitter
 Em
 Crack nigga, tryna hustle up an Ac' Vigor
 Em
 Six deuce buyer, niggas really live The Wire
 Em
 From lookouts, then we meteor to suppliers
 Em
 Caged in, one way in, one way out
 Em
 Robocops on mountain bikes, ain't pullin' mace out
 Em
 Just tryna get back home from gettin' chased out
 Em
 A week ago, a boy like me don't got a face now
 Em
 The 'partments, the projects, the ghettos, all the same shit
 Em
 Crazy how we hopscotch and Double Dutch danger
 Em
 'Tween ADHD and all the pills that you gave us
 Em
 How we supposed to process this anger?

 The rain couldn't understand it

 The land shakin', plus the rhythm is enormous
 Em
 All the forces like a portal to a vortex
 Em
 Connected to the stars, just projecting where we part at
 Em
 Pull up where you park at
 Em
 Aim a little dart
 Em
 Where your bark at?
 
 [VERSE] 
 Em
 My ghetto's not your culture, niggas really die here
 Em
 So hard to say goodbye, it's the only lullaby here
 Em
 Kilos turnin' boys to men, gotta pick a side here
 Em
 Some were Jesus Shuttlesworth, some of us were Nasirs
 Em
 As time goes by, it's an eye for an eye here
 Em
 My niggas mob deep, the fittest gon' survive here
 Em
 We New Jersey drive here, chop shop, ride here
 Em
 This jack in the box shouldn't come as no surprise here
 Em
 You niggas rent to own, street cred gets denied here
 Em
 Section  livin', we treat it like a timeshare
 Em
 Mother, auntie, cousin, couldn't tell you who reside there
 Em
 But never seen a father that was government devised here
 Em
 Conquer and divide here, crash and collide here
 Em
 When kings can't raise a young prince, the doves cry here
 Em
 Candy lady right there, zombieland right there
 Em
 Them 'partments be the perfect backdrop for any nightmare
