lirik lagu lex lavo - rise above the madness
(intro: lex lavo)
i drove up through foster projects
over on the westside of harlem
i used to hang out there back in the days
with the homie big shot
that’s where all the hustlers was
yo when i walked through
i saw my man shorty pumpin
he was like 12 going on 20
caught in the cycle
so i used to breeze through
to drop some gems on him
from time to time
but this time
it was different
(lex lavo: verse)
i knew this shorty
only 12, drinking 40s
slinging poison in the midst of the jects
he writing his story
no pops no guidance
just sirens and candle lights
dreams buried under p~ssy stairwells
and street fights
i caught him at the bench and said
shorty, this ain’t living
he laughed
you was out here too
tell me what’s the difference?
i told him
ain’t no handouts in the hood
no one ever gave me game
i’m just tryna pass it on
so you ain’t gotta live this pain
he smirked
i move different
they could never catch me slippin
so tell me
you want your face on a mural
this sh~ts addicting
worried bout fitting in
but trust the streets
are unforgiving
fast life equals a fast death
i’ve seen this story written
he shook his head
not me i move smart
keep my circle tight lowkey
ain’t n0body ‘round me
gone jeopardize my life
i can’t let ‘em dim my light
gotta stay up on my grind
every move i make precise
i ain’t out here moving blind
they won’t tell you how
your momma crying in court
or how your name make the news
now your life is cut short
how the same block that praised you
gone move on to the next
and the ones who said they love you
won’t respond to your texts
he said
i hear you og
i’m just tryna learn the game
i’ma keep my mind sharp
stay clear of these lames
your words hittin’ different
my spirit knows that it’s real
i’ve been numb for too long
almost forgot how to feel
plus you an ill dude
yo i like your style
i been watchin’ how you move
steady stackin’ for a while
i said i’m ghost
check your pocket
that’s from me baby bro
so rise above all the madness
i’m just giving you hope
you was made for something greater
not just trappin’ till the morn
ain’t no future in this hustle
we can’t let this be the norm
they don’t want to see us win
just caught up in a maze
another number in the system
where them people call the plays
it’s either cell doors slammin
or your name in early graves
so i’m givin’ you this wisdom
hope it helps to light the way
gotta break the cycle now
we got legacies to save
gotta break the cycle now
we got legacies to save
