jack-knife reporting to you live
directly on the scene of the crime
it's going down so check your waist
keep it loaded - watch your pace
all the shit that i've seen
it's all catching up to me
paranoid all the time
can't trust you or no one else
can't escape misery
building up inside of me
i can't breathe
oh my god, this can't be happening
can't stop won't stop - this ghetto takeover
oh my god, this can't be happening
can't stop won't stop, can't stop lynwood

Just Kickin' It

cruising down lynwood - feeling stuck, cant get out, driving me insane
driving by my hood - every day, same ol shit, aint nothing change
just kickin it - cops fuckin with me; guilty by the look
just kickin it - front yard chillin'; never off the hook
we see the bullshit, you put us through
repeating cycle but i'm feeling stuck
i'm stuck-stuck-stuck in this life
regardless of what happens, i'm back in the hood
(i've gotta get out, there's nowhere to go, i've gotta pull through but i'm stuck- stuck- stuck- stuck)
windows tinted, expired plates
at the red light, waiting on my fate
windows roll down, van door slides
witness a murder at the green light
life flashes before my eyes - i think i've met my demise

I pray to god i ain't gone too soon
the block is hot & it's only half past noon
place my hands together
lord keep me safe
mother, forgive me for my evil ways
run your fuckin pockets, it's a stick up

Fury x Poverty

looking back at the times I was lost
misguided youth without a cause
friends and family - a constant loss
but forced to find peace from a cross
guns out the window, youth hands throwing signs
just another story in LA times
I've gotta find some peace of mind
these streets are filled with violent crimes
never knowing when my times is up
i'm getting closer to the breaking point
i think i'm starting to become numb
it's bullshit, look what i've become
face the facts this is where i'm from
no turning back now, i'm shit out of luck
I've linked my sorrows into a chain
binding my thoughts to leak the pain
start exposing my tormented brain
I'll conquer my emotions through this hostile reign
fury by poverty

hop on the trolley, trynna start a fight
one wrong look and you wanna take flight
talking with your hands - trynna rep your set
wear the wrong colors and now you start to sweat
there's nothing you can do to avoid these streets
there's nothing you can do but accept defeat
there's nothing you can do but pack a piece
there's nothing you can do - so what's the fucking point?
1990's trolley activities

you say you have pride in wha you believe
but you don't give a fuck - you're so naive
nailed to the X is what you claim
fuck your ego - me and you, we are not the same
Razor's Edge
what do you know of sacrifice?
bet you run and hide
dealing with struggle of this ghetto life
with just myself and my sober mind
losing my friends to drugs at 14
watching my back has become routine
no matter the pain
or fear of death
i won't give in
i'll stay true to me

blessed to live another day
the hoods gone crazy, can't get away
body dumped under the 105
hoods gone crazy, just trynna survive
i've got street paranoia
alleys blocked off by the yellow tape
another body found in broad day
made a right on carlin, time for me to shake
headed down bullis, i'm trynna escape
this is for the homies who lost cousins to the streets
this is for the homies who now rest in peace
this is for the homies who lost brothers to the streets
this is for the homies who now rest in peace
you know shit ain't sweet in these LA streets
i can't resist, too much pressure on my eyes
every time a car pulls up, i reach to my side
pull the chrome from my hip & murder's on my mind
not ready to be buried yet - it's not my fucking time
street paranoia
