Fairwells Songtext

I'm from a place where if you talk proper, they say you speak white (Hahaha)
Ironically, a long sentence'll lead to a couple brief kites (Damn)
A cot inside a six by nine should help you to sleep tight (Ha)
This our history I recite
Farewell to them niggas in stairwells who no longer breathe life
I shake my fist to release dice (Get 'em)
And pray that I don't ace out (Ah)
But if you're planning to win, you gots to replace doubt
That Ran gonna send and plot his escape route (Yes)
Don't gotta ask what you pray 'bout (Nah)
If you get that kiss from death, you'll never make out (Mwah)
A lion could never play mouse
Could try, but you'll never break out
Farewell to them nights, was lyin' on Ray's couch (Farewell)
Had to nowhere to sleep through the week, survivin' the days out (Damn)
I'd be dead if I couldn't rap or doin' life 'cause I wouldn't rat
What good is that? (Good is that)
I used to flood my hood with smack (Ah)
I understood that I stood for more
I built my name and I stood on that (Yeah) The farther you try to slip away, the harder they try to pull you back
That's facts

Damn, just say your goodbyes and farewells (Farewell)
Just sittin' in a square, scared to God 'cause you fear hell
Goodbye (Bye)
You told your dear daughter that you won't dare tell
She cry (Cry)
Was sent to your tear as soon her tears fell
But why? (Why?)
You wasn't born just to die (Nah)
I'm doin' than survive (I am)
It's either tortured alive or receive your portion of pie (I need all mine)
Now we only offer goodbyes {Only thing we offerin', nigga, problem, uh}
Goodbye

Farewell to all them project nights
No parkin', we double park (Double up)
We talkin' price, your moms gave birth, but the judge could offer life (Damn)
Farewell to the hallway lights, they flickered when we entered
When niggas parked they bikes
Hope it's still out there or you gon' walk tonight (You walkin' tonight)
Farewell to the nightmares when I sleep, I seen the poltergeist (Ah)
Grandma talked with Christ, I found Allah, can't do no pork, aight? (Uh-uh)
Farewell to the bros I lost
Ups and downs in life, workers get smoker's cough
To separate from rock kinda like Hova thought
Swish the weed, farewell to the train, this whip a different speed
Farewell to the hand to hand with grams when it was ten degrees ('Grees)
Like, nigga, please
I dealt with bigotry, you know, they dislike (Dislike)
I sent kites to lifers that writin' back just for insight (Uh)
They ask me 'bout these foreigns, fishbowl 'em, just keep the tip light (Let 'em see)
Black rose I tatted on my windpipe, farewell to wick nights
And EBTs, we sold it in the store like it was DVDs
Farewell to TMZ tryna watch us like TNT
Bnb, I ain't stayed in one since they took Pop (Not one)
Watch how I stand right here in my spot
I had a few grams when I first got knocked (Uh)
Hopped out and danced when they came through
Shot me a hand, better shoot 'til they drop
Copped me some land if I use it or not
I got with Ran, niggas knew this was hot (My nigga)
I'ma get love, don't care who in the spot (Don't care)
You can get shot just for movin' a lot (Stop movin')
He ain't as tough as you think, look what he drink
He probably take hookah from thots (Ha)
It was just me and Stupid, got locked (Stupid)
Shooter forever, you knew him or not
We handle drama like Oprah
You get a shot, you get a, you get a shot, baow (Boom)

Damn, just say your goodbyes and farewells (Farewell)
Just sittin' in a square, scared to God 'cause you fear hell
Goodbye (Bye)
You told your dear daughter that you won't dare tell
She cry (Cry)
Was sent to your tear as soon her tears fell

Second-class citizenship is nothing but a modern version of slavery
Which means that according to him, his definition, slavery still exists
Twenty million Black people in America are still slaves
The emancipation proclamation and the civil war were fought for nothing
(Goodbye)
