They don't understand the hunger where it comes from I was no ordinary kid in pajamas Shoeboxes under the bed with the monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
Shoeboxes filled with money and a strap Had dreams of bein' a dope boy way before I started rap We was locked in, nowhere to go, before they called it a trap And niggas pushed the Cadillac like it was a Maybach They throwin' dice at the curb everybody shootin' a stack Niggas ballin' like Meech everybody livin' off Pat Ghetto habitat, we was birthed in it Most say we unfortunate but we lit it up Matter of fact we put the torch to it Made a killin', turned minimum wage to millions That poverty hole ain't nothin' when you got fearless civilians I learned early how to turn nothin' to somethin' Beat corruption, keep your grip tight and keep bustin' That rules of the land Get your tribe rich is always the plan Don't let the white man stop you That's always a scam Don't ever let them put you down or put no fear in your heart Stay ten toes and solid, don't let them tear you apart
They don't understand the hunger where it comes from I was no ordinary kid in pajamas Shoeboxes under the bed with the monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
In the PJ's in my PJ's tryna drink liquor and smoke blunts Chasin' behind street killers with gold fronts All my idols rolled caprices and Chevy dunks And had bad chicks with pretty faces and fat butts Most got rich off cocaine that was pure and uncut Family men duckin' the law, tryin' to be untouched Criminal heroes, what a weird oxymoron Some get shot, some get locked, then they puttin' more on The cycles like a Ferris wheel but it only seems that we get killed Guns money and drugs, it's like a Singleton film Rest in peace to him and all the fallen soldiers We was boys in the hood duckin' cops and cobras You know the snakes and vultures tryna shake your focus Then the violence in the hood was like a plague of locust The way we killin' ourselves I never understood But niggas die everyday, that's what they claim in the hood
They don't understand the hunger where it comes from I was no ordinary kid in pajamas Shoeboxes under the bed with the monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
Apollo Brown & Stalley "Blacklight" https://orcd.co/blacklight
Beat hits me so hard. Perfect combination, solid album!!!
Jewell
Apollo Brown a beast and Stalley this is beautiful
Stalley is such an incredible story teller and lyricist. Apollo is a poet with his beats and such a vibe. Together they're the perfect remedy.
I can here Rick ross on this track with Fabolous. But boy he rip this shit.
No Monsters :
They don't understand the hunger where it comes from
I was no ordinary kid in pajamas
Shoeboxes under the bed with the monsters
So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
Shoeboxes filled with money and a strap
Had dreams of bein' a dope boy way before I started rap
We was locked in, nowhere to go, before they called it a trap
And niggas pushed the Cadillac like it was a Maybach
They throwin' dice at the curb everybody shootin' a stack
Niggas ballin' like Meech everybody livin' off Pat
Ghetto habitat, we was birthed in it
Most say we unfortunate but we lit it up
Matter of fact we put the torch to it
Made a killin', turned minimum wage to millions
That poverty hole ain't nothin' when you got fearless civilians
I learned early how to turn nothin' to somethin'
Beat corruption, keep your grip tight and keep bustin'
That rules of the land
Get your tribe rich is always the plan
Don't let the white man stop you
That's always a scam
Don't ever let them put you down or put no fear in your heart
Stay ten toes and solid, don't let them tear you apart
They don't understand the hunger where it comes from
I was no ordinary kid in pajamas
Shoeboxes under the bed with the monsters
So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
In the PJ's in my PJ's tryna drink liquor and smoke blunts
Chasin' behind street killers with gold fronts
All my idols rolled caprices and Chevy dunks
And had bad chicks with pretty faces and fat butts
Most got rich off cocaine that was pure and uncut
Family men duckin' the law, tryin' to be untouched
Criminal heroes, what a weird oxymoron
Some get shot, some get locked, then they puttin' more on
The cycles like a Ferris wheel but it only seems that we get killed
Guns money and drugs, it's like a Singleton film
Rest in peace to him and all the fallen soldiers
We was boys in the hood duckin' cops and cobras
You know the snakes and vultures tryna shake your focus
Then the violence in the hood was like a plague of locust
The way we killin' ourselves I never understood
But niggas die everyday, that's what they claim in the hood
They don't understand the hunger where it comes from
I was no ordinary kid in pajamas
Shoeboxes under the bed with the monsters
So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
So I ain't gotta be scare of no monsters
For some insane reason, I get choked up rapping this hook dawg. Crazy song. Stalley the vibe right now.
