Letra de Community - JID

(Feat. Clipse)

The rain couldn't understand it

The pain made them understand, shit

The sun tried to understand, the gun made me understand

The wind tried whisperin' the warnin'

The land shakin', plus the rhythm is enormous

All the forces like a portal to a vortex

Connected to the stars, just projecting where we part at

Pull up where you park at

Aim a little dart (Lil' bitch)

Where your bark at?

It'd be a shame if you stayed in them 'partments

12 barely even came to them 'partments

Catch a play then parlay in them apartments

I swear it's like a party every day in them 'partments

You was raised in them 'partments, dang

Jump a shot or join a gang in them 'partments

My mama say we gotta get away from them 'partments, it's graves in them 'partments

And it ain't gotta end this way 'cause we ain't start shit (Huh, look, okay)

I don't give a fuck about no industry beef

Ain't nobody give a fuck when Tay was dead in the street

I don't do the shit you see on the screens

I been tapped in with true things

I peep your rap cap and I unscrew things

I don't give a fuck about them niggas at the top

The biggest nigga on the block could still get shot

Pop, you thinkin' Pac, I'm thinkin'— (Brr)

Can't talk about that shit from— (You gotta chill out), you seen Fox?

Lisan al Gaib, I see a tiny line of silver

A way to make a play, although they say it's unfamiliar

It's off the kilter, I say the words without a filter

You gotta have nerve, it'll make you strong if it don't kill ya

I'll put a bullet in Bob the fuckin' Builder

'Fore they try and kick us out the building, what about the children?

When I check a news channel, I get a similar feelin', but still

We gon' make it to Heaven, high water or Hell

But don't take the highways

285 behind the damn wheel, it's like a driveway

Givin' all I could give Christ and I'd do it twice

Shai Gilchrist, heard thunder hit with lightning

And still I didn't feel shit, talk about resilience

Off of Stone Mountain, Lithonia where I honed into my brilliance

It was after then I took my talents right up to Virginia

Heard they said the shit for lovers, shit was gutter, shit was gritty

I could tell you what it was, but let bruh tell you what I'm missin', pay attention

What's missin' in my hood, I identified

Then I brought white to my hood, shit, I gentrified

We had military arms, we was semper fi'

Point blank, let me simplify

I been light post corner boy, green box sitter

Crack nigga, tryna hustle up an Ac' Vigor

Six-deuce buyer, niggas really live The Wire

From lookouts, then we meteor to suppliers

Caged in, one way in, one way out

Robocops on mountain bikes, ain't pullin' mace out

Just tryna get back home from gettin' chased out

A week ago, a boy like me don't got a face now

The 'partments, the projects, the ghettos, all the same shit

Crazy how we hopscotch and Double-Dutch danger

'Tween ADHD and all the pills that you gave us

How we supposed to process this anger?

The rain couldn't understand it

The pain made them understand, shit

The sun tried to understand, the gun made me understand

The wind tried whisperin' the warnin'

The land shakin', plus the rhythm is enormous

All the forces like a portal to a vortex

Connected to the stars, just projecting where we part at

Pull up where you park at

Aim a little dart

Where your bark at?

My ghetto's not your culture, niggas really die here

So hard to say goodbye, it's the only lullaby here

Kilos turnin' boys to men, gotta pick a side here

Some were Jesus Shuttlesworth, some of us were Nasirs

As time goes by, it's an eye for an eye here

My niggas mob deep, the fittest gon' survive here

We New Jersey drive here, chop shop, ride here

This jack-in-the-box shouldn't come as no surprise here

You niggas rent to own, street cred gets denied here

Section 8 livin', we treat it like a timeshare

Mother, auntie, cousin, couldn't tell you who reside there

But never seen a father that was government devised here

Conquer and divide here, crash and collide here

When kings can't raise a young prince, the doves cry here

Candy lady right there, zombieland right there

Them 'partments be the perfect backdrop for any nightmare
