4TH OF JULY (feat. Fridayy)

Fourth of July

I call my brothers, call my cousins making sure they alive

I don't even know who got hit up, I'm just praying that they survived

They shooting right in front of these babies, swear that something ain't right

Something ain't right

They said these fire crackers ain't the only thing got lit up

My city all at war, if you in the way, you gon' get hit up

Gotta watch yo' body, can't be lacking when you leaving the club

Crazy part about it, I was suppose to be there that night, it could've been me

When I got home, saw the news, I fell to my knees and I thank God

I was thinking rest in peace, oh PNB, my city needs something

Oh, my city needs something

I'm pushing peace, I'm just a product of these streets

I ain't no gangster, I'm just me

I found a way out for my family, I'm just showing what you could be

It's been a long, it's been a long time coming

But change still ain't come

It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long time

But change still ain't come

Fourth of July

Shit, we was popping M80s, this shit got crazy

Now we running around all .40s and .9s

My young bull brazy, I can't save him

They try play him, he just ran off like he gon' get a bomb

I see water in his eyes

I don't tell him like I told him to die

I taught youngin how to hustle, I taught shorty to ride

Used to be a fire cracker, I taught shorty to cry

'Til them shots fired, sound like it's fireworks, 'til we heard the sirens

Praying every night, I don't catch the murder virus

Kill my brother, kill your brother too, have a murder riot

Do a ritual with them switches, tell them burn in fire

He had caught too many cases, so he wore a wire

Put a seal all on his statement, now he real quiet

You know beefing with the Chasers, you get real tired

Getting real paper, fuck how they feel about us

We give up fireworks, know Northside gonna kill about me

We let off fireworks, know Southside gonna drill about me

I wanna stop the violence but if I slip, niggas gon' still pop me

Damn

To them streets, I pledge allegiance, giving hell to heathens

It was really hella deceiving, I ain't never see it

We ain't beefing, we doing islands really every season

'Cause when you hear them fireworks, you ain't never leaving

Lighters
