Brehs who grew up in the inner city/ the hood....ain't it fukked up how shyt is once you grow up?

[Turk]

I think about this shyt all the time

Not even a decade ago we were just knucklehead young nikkas (well we still are) but shyt gradually got fukked up

My dawg since 3rd grade Mama died freshman year and he had to become man of the house...nikka dropped out of school. His older bro got locked for slangin

My other bro I've known since 3rd grade got indicted by the feds last year

A nikka I've known since middle school got indicted by the feds too

They both looking at life sentences as a possibility if convicted

Another homie since 3rd grade got another felony. They might throw the book at him this time given all his other cases

Another bro I've known since third grade got himself involved in a murder last year. He was never on that street either

My dawg since middle school got murdered two months after he turned 19

Bro from my hood went to avenge him, got arrested and is looking at at least 8 different charges. Might never see him again

And just late last month a bro from my hood got sentenced to life

We all in our late teens early 20's too....life is crazy

Miss those innocent days playing street football

90% of the dudes I grew up with in bk are dead in prison or just losers. Even though I got as far as I have I'm permanently scarred with a huge chip on my shoulder and I resent this societal system every day.

Yeah grew up with killers, I didn't know they was killers
We was just together man, playing Mega-man on Sega man
Your mama loved me to death, she reminded me of Afeni
Yeah real black queen
If I had a genie,
I wish that she ain't struggle no more
Y'all wouldn't have to go to sleep with all the roaches if she wasn't so poor
You told me when you came to my house
This shyt was like a timeout from reality
One night you asked me what I'm crying about
'Cause you was staying over for the weekend
I woke up from out my sleep
When I heard mama and my stepfather beefin
I don't know if he been drinkin
But I know this shyt got loud and I heard rumbling from struggling
And rolling on the ground
Could never get used to that sound
My mama saying get off me
My tears is tumbling now
I wish that you never saw me
'Cause I felt like a coward, so powerless I was only 12
I wish I would'be bust through that door my fukking self
And grab the Glock right off the fukking shelf
If nothing else scared a nikka shytless
There goes two of my wishes
Forever scarred, determined to get some heart
No matter how big the nikka, no matter how small you are
Fast-forward to our older years
Two different paths
You used to talk to me about college but that shyt didn't last
Waste of potential, getting cash, what could I say?
So tired of not having things, you never see it my way
Too proud to fold
Your demise
One day to my surprise, my nikka called me, told me you just caught a body twice your size
I asked if it was self defense, he said it was defense of pride
And that they trying to give you ten, but if you lucky you'll do five damn
Not my nikka
The same one that told me that things always get better
Just trust me, don't cry my nikka
The news call him a killer, but he my nikka
Sad shyt
Ay yo genie last wish, free my nikka

This shyt hit close to home

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

I ain't from the hood but I know wayyyy too many nikkas in prison doing numbers.

shyt is sad but most these you knew weren't going to do shyt.

[UncleTomFord15]

Just chillin playin pokemon with the bros at 10 years old.
Fast forward 10 more years and you see half the people you used to play pokemon with are dead or going no where in life.

 

[NBA Youngbreh]

A lot of my rounds aint here no more, a couple of rounds doing life in Angola
We used to ball together, play videos games together, having to be in by the street lights
Now instead of catching footballs, they catching bodies and cases

What song is this?

3 wishes j cole

[Ooh Marty]

Yea it is

Half the dudes I went to grammar school with either dead or in jail

A few of them are strung out on drugs along with a few ex home girls

I pray to God that I made it out the hood tho.

Most people think its no hope for us ghetto babies but I made it out brehs

 

[Arithmetic]

Let's not even talk about it.


I'll just leave this here for those who feel me.

nikkas I played beyblade and yugioh with grew up to be shooters

Elementary school was good though. Once we hit middle school is once things started changing though
