lirik lagu james cook - broad street baptized me
intro
i came up where the winters cold and the hearts colder…
where your dreams die quicker than your homies
this philly… it don’t love n0body.”
~~~
hook
broad street baptized me, i rose from the fire
bullet sh~lls sang while we prayed for the choir
mama cried tears, had to hustle for the rent
now it’s rollies on my wrist, still feel broke in my sense
from the bottom, i was hungry, turned my pain into gold
they said i’d die in them streets, now my story been told
tryna fly but the hood got a grip on my soul —
broad street baptized mе, i ain’t never let go
vеrse 1:
yeah —
i remember cold nights, stomach empty, soul heavy
fiends at the church steps, snow on the chevy
had to trap just to eat, it was never a flex
seen the light in the distance but i’m steppin’ through death
used to dream of the forbes, now i’m countin’ the pain
but the block got my name like a tag in a chain
lost bro in the system, he ain’t never the same
now i spit for the trenches, every scar, every name
i was fightin’ them charges, fightin’ depression
all this trauma in my chest, but it taught me a lesson
told my youngins don’t fold, keep your head to the sky —
you from philly, you a soldier, born ready to ride
i used to cry in the dark, ask god for a sign
why my brother got shot? why i’m losin’ my mind?
why they love when you broke, but they hate when you climb?
why the pain hit deep every time that i shine?
yeah, i came from the mud, but i walk like a king
put my pain in the bars, let it fly with the wings
now the hood still call me, but i’m deaf to the trap —
got my foot on they neck, i ain’t never goin’ back
tell the reaper i’m here, i got angels in gold
from them back alley prayers to these platinum flows
broad street raised me, now i’m speakin’ in flames —
this for every lost soul that still bleed in my name
