Lawren South Miami Heights (feat. Benjamin Rea)
[Intro: Lawren]
Yeah. Welcome to South Miami Heights. All my Puerto Ricans, Cubans, my blacks, my Haitians, my Jamaicans, my Salvadorenos. Everybody all under the same roof. South Miami heights, Florida. This is a story about me. Something like that. Yeah
[Verse 1: Lawren]
Yeah we on a come-up, why they wanna run up?
Pull a gun up 'til it smoke? Why this world is so evil?
While you dudes is so broke but you wanna stunt like Knievel, I'm going bull like an eagle
I barely look in the mirror
My insecurities clearer It's the stuff I avoid
I was never affirmed so now I'm feeling the void
Got to cheat on these women, you want to be with the boys
I was picking with cano and kickin' back with the homies
We would get us in trouble, you know that they double Tony
We would go to the store, Cano always be holding
We just waiting, yeah for something jjust to go down
Dropped out in the 9th grade, skipped the program
Good kid in the mad city slinging dope now
Had a black Cherokee, wanted them to stare at me
Ridin down your rigor got some blow like a vacuum
Turn the speakers on we prolly listening to Papoose
[Hook: Benjamin Rea & Lawren]
Yeah I'm on the come-up
Praying for my city that's one love my hood
Let me hear it now one time for my hood
Uh, I gotta dream we gotta dream
I gotta dream we gotta dream
I gotta dream you gotta dream
We gotta dream you gotta dream
[Break: Lawren]
Oh, my bad. I was falling asleep. Slept really good last night
[Verse 2: Lawren]
Yeah but I was barely sleep though
Lights in my window, ghetto bird helicopter flashing all night
We don't worry God got us, we gon' be alright
Got a brown bag walking past Habitat
They saw me doug off at the eagles' house how sad is that
Got the Rouger and the Eagle how bad is that
Yeah we don't want no problems, got my mixtapes on the flea
But them loc's be lurking cause they know we reppin' Besus
The East I find that drama with the lama this the jungle, man
Bunch of drama rats be lag and let 'em rumble, man
We got a meeting at the park, everybody flame Five second pictures so everybody ran yeah
They pull me over in the caravan, sat me down said "Do you wanna go in the ambulance?"
I'm in cuffs with my face to the asphalt
What's your name like sir what do you ask for
You got my license in your hand you can read, right?
Yeah dummy, but somethin' don't seem right
You got no priors, we know you so whoopin'
Followin' your friends cause you too stupid (stupid)
[Hook: Benjamin Rea & Lawren]
Yeah I'm on the come-up
Praying for my city that's one love my hood
Let me hear it now one time for my hood
Uh, I gotta dream we gotta dream
I gotta dream we gotta dream
I gotta dream you gotta dream
We gotta dream you gotta dream
[Interlude: Lawren]
Yeah crazy story, right? But get this, it gets crazier
[Verse 3: Lawren]
You hear the birds on the block, I've seen some birds in the trunk
I've seen 'em cut up some trees, but never cut up the stump
I got some homeboys, probably never see the sunlight
Why you think we unashamed and God has shared his son' right
Down the block, there I got into a gunfight
Killed three dudes but they were comin'
For son's life
Known hype, I don't care about the label
I just do it for my brothers all the time like a seca
Saw my homie on the show about prison, broke my heart man
Do your part man ,used to kick it in apartments
Career villas never been a villa
Bunch of hungry dudes all about the skrilla that's a killa, yeah
We all victims of the system, all sick we got a symptom
Got a doctor that'll heal us, just believe it and He'll kill it
"I care about your wellness", Romans 8
I promise it'll never fail us
[Hook: Benjamin Rea & Lawren]
Yeah I'm on the come-up
Praying for my city that's one love my hood
Let me hear it now one time for my hood uh
I gotta dream we gotta dream
I gotta dream we gotta dream
I gotta dream you gotta dream
We gotta dream you gotta dream
