Jacob Izrael takes you on a short journey and a look of where he is from. As much as he loves it, he hates it. One day it'll be the "Death of Him"
lyrics
I mean, I love this place but I want to escape, so much death in the air and this is where I was raised (2) guns blaze in the middle of the night/ the jump off, you never know when folks gone fight (4) over dice games, cocaine, what evers prohibited/white folks drive through like we on exhibit (6) this ain't zoo York but it's as bad as New York/ black folks getting fat from the greens and the pork (8) let's not talk about aids epidemic/ these boys going raw like it's all a gimmick (10) these girls all play/ ran through like hall ways, like they late for their period, late for their period (12) you an idiot if you ain't get it yet/ I love the projects but I just hate where I'm at (14) the ignorance embraced and that's what I hate/ pants sagging off your ass but it's all ok (16)
Hook:
I'm from the Block where them shots go Pow Pow, but look at me Now
Came from the bottom now I'm skyscrappin' I never forget the place that made me
I never forget yeah I rep it to the Death of Me (2x)
Verse: 2
Profits on the ground but we never seem to see it/ Cheetos and now and laters now we fighting diabetes (2) calling our women bitches/ some of them girls love it/ niggas with gold fronts swear that they all thuggin' (4) but on the real they scared like lil squirrels/ got game like LJ but prey on lil girls (6) this may sound funny but got abortion money, man he got to kill it, she got a lump in her tummy (8) child support is something he can't have/ all his time taken grind on the ave (10) I should I say street depending on location/ St.Pete ,USA, yup, your nation (12) From the block where the shots go Pow Pow/ too bad we feel that the cops not our Pal Pal (14) the devil grab us, I swear that this is sadness, but on the real I'll probably die from This madness (16)
