nico roberts - f**ked up كلمات أغنية

[part i]

[verse 1]
yeah, momma told me “boy, watch your step, streets don’t play”
seen a homie lose his life for less than what we pay for j’s
corner store lit up, but the light ain’t safe
every shadow in the alley coulda been my grave
wasn’t born with a crown, had to bleed for a throne
every brick in my block got a story they own
heard the sirens singin’ like a funeral hymn
bullets rang out, kid still sippin’ on gin
dreams small like the window in the county cell
prayin’ to the lord, but we dancin’ with h_ll
i was thirteen, tryna act like i’m grown
pockets full of lint, but my heart full of stone
saw my cousin get jumped, blood all in his t__th
that’s the day i learned love ain’t always beneath
city chew you up, spit you out with a laugh
and the ones that survive learn to move with a mask
mama cryin’ over rent, i’m countin’ my sins
and the block keep whisperin’, “you’ll be back again”

[chorus]
yeah, it’s f_cked up, we still breathin’ this air
we still walkin’ these streets, still fightin’ despair
every light got a shadow, every smile got a scar
every win in my hood feels too d_mn far
yeah, it’s f_cked up, but it’s all we know
gotta run from the pain ‘fore it swallows you whole
ain’t no heroes in my city, just a name on a stone
yeah, it’s f_cked up, but it’s home, it’s home
[verse 2]
b_tch, i seen sh_t make the pastor go mute
bodies in the alley while the kids still hoop
f_ck, i been broke, starin’ at a fridge with air
whole block smell like gun smoke, n0body care
i seen hoes sell dreams for a hit and a meal
boys turn to snakes when the money get real
learned quick, trust ain’t free in this lane
better keep your head down when they yell your name
had a homie rob a store, got five in the chest
no vest, just a dream, now he laid to rest
f_ck this system, it was built for the cage
judge look at my skin like i’m born for the rage
even church got wolves in a tie and grin
preach love on sunday, rob your grandma again
i was runnin’ from the past but the sh_t still near
like an echo in my ear that i can’t unhear
told myself one day i’d leave this dirt
but it’s hard to heal wounds when you addicted to hurt
b_tch, my city raise soldiers that don’t salute
they just shoot, hit the loot, disappear like poof
every night it’s the same d_mn song in my dome
yeah it’s f_cked up, but it’s home, it’s home

[chorus]
yeah, it’s f_cked up, we still breathin’ this air
we still walkin’ these streets, still fightin’ despair
every light got a shadow, every smile got a scar
every win in my hood feels too d_mn far
yeah, it’s f_cked up, but it’s all we know
gotta run from the pain ‘fore it swallows you whole
ain’t no heroes in my city, just a name on a stone
yeah, it’s f_cked up, but it’s home, it’s home
[verse 3]
f_ck a fairy tale, ain’t no happily after
just a b_tch on the news and a headline plastered
had dreams of the stage, but the block got plans
put a gun in my hand, said “be a man”
ho, i seen blood drip down them sunday shoes
mama prayin’ over me like she ain’t got no news
i been cold since the day i watched life leave eyes
every laugh since then just a thin disguise
city paint murals just to hide the hurt
pour liquor in the cracks where we bury the dirt
b_tch, i was fifteen learnin’ how to sell lies
every dollar in my palm was a roll of the dice
f_ck love, it’s a weapon when the trust run dry
and the truth only hurts when you can’t deny
i got scars on my back from the ones i fed
seen snakes in my bed, had to cut their head
every block got ghosts that you can’t unmeet
every night’s a gamble, but you still repeat
we been f_cked up so long it feels like home
but the pain still hit when you all alone

[part ii]

[verse]
yeah…
now let me tell you ‘bout a night when the streets went black
no stars, just the sound of the gun cl!ck_clack
i was ridin’ through the block, saw my brother on the curb
blood spillin’ from his shirt, couldn’t speak a word
paramedics too late, had to watch him fade
whole hood stand still like a freeze frame made
i’m thinkin’ ‘bout the time we was young, no stress
just hoopin’ by the park, playin’ games, no vests
now it’s rip posts on the ‘gram at night
every caption read pain but the likes feel light
f_ck, i been drinkin’ just to k!ll the thought
but the thought still breathes and it burns my gut
ho, i been runnin’ from the sh_t i seen
but it chase me in my sleep like a f_cked up dream
got a call from my momma, tears in her tone
said the rent’s two months late and she’s all alone
i been tryna make hits just to change our fate
but the past keep knockin’ like it won’t abate
seen friends turn foe for a stack of bills
seen cops turn blind when the blood get spilled
this city don’t love you, it just keep receipts
every sin that you make, every face you meet
f_ck the fair fight, everybody cheat to eat
either hustle or starve, either pray or bleed
i remember that night i almost lost my soul
pulled a burner on a man for a chain of gold
he looked me in the eyes, said “you just like me”
and that sh_t cut deep, couldn’t let it be
dropped the gun in the gutter, took a breath, walked home
realized i’m the only one can break this clone
but the hood still call, it’s a siren’s song
and i’m scared one day it gon’ pull me wrong
so i ride with the ghosts in my passenger seat
talkin’ to the ones that i’ll never repeat
and if you ask me why the pain still roam
i’ll just say, yeah… it’s f_cked up, but it’s home
yeah, it’s f_cked up, we still breathin’ this air…
