Po’ Boy
[Beni Bjah]
What have we missed
Whatever lies under the mist
What ever crime did we commit
To ever get put under something like this
Tell ‘em we nine
We on a cloud up in abyss
We are the people the first to exist
Don't have to put up with none of your shit
Cut like a knife
Open up like a surgeon
All the rain we submerged in
Held the trauma since birthing
Tell ‘em it curtains
since they came we been hurtin’
poor boy victim to the streets ain’t deserve this
[Harts]
I'm a poor boy a long way from home A poor boy a long way from home What the others do, The world can't do me no harm I'm a poor boy a long way from home
[Flewnt]
I come from an ancient land that is strong and rich with the culture,
Now I'm stuck inside a city of self pity and vultures,
I see a cop grinning he whistles and taps his holster,
ready to pull the trigger like R2 on controller,
That's messed up! I know that my life wasn't blessed up,
But That don't give ‘em rights to just come and arrest us,
Next..... I .....see
Bluelights.....behind.....me
I.....guess that it's strike 3
I'll try to keep my head up.

They're not deserving this a victim of the system yeah the urban kid
**** suburban bliss it's just an urban myth/ No one concerned with him a younger lad who's more a punching bag for his drunken Dad his wondering why he's hurting him/ His living a life and it never be better; better be ready to handle the weather ; the streets/ getting ready to run when he's robbing a shop and often
just wanting to eat/ For a treat/ But Police got him that day/ Now his in court in front of a judge I hope they hear him when he say/..

We've had enough Listen up
I'm putting in my 2 cents
Been about the trouble since they Labelled me a Nuisance
Nothing but the struggle
My brothers in the recess
Locked up by the huddle doin’ time by the sentence
Tell ‘em cuz we love you
Poor boy lucky
Came up by the grain of his teeth
Getting ugly
It's a cold world trust me
When no one there to help you
A long way from home
On our way can't stop me
[Flewnt]
You can't stop it it's pure and not for profit,
Fewer are for losses of dollars inside their wallets,
Being poor’s not the problem the problem is in ya pocket,
Taking just what ya wantin’ and seeing no other option,
When I'm dead and inside my coffin I'll rest knowing the fact,
Everything I've ever tooken I've given it right back,
You took what you shouldn't you shouldn't disguise that,
Ya been caught out buddy we ready to fight back, I'm a poor boy.
