I been down when the rent wasn’t paid

And my momma had no way

And I

die always

die always

I been down when the rent wasn’t paid

And my momma had no way

And I

die always

die always

Born in 92

I was dead outside the womb

I was blue

As a baby

It was Code pink inside the room

Momma crying

Doc had to grab me out

Had to rush me out the room

I been dead for a couple of minutes

Could have been the end

but god wasn’t finished

I lived twice

peace intention

Came to the light

Like I need a second

This all fact

I ain’t pretending

Im not chance

But I am

a Bennett

This little light of mine

Been touched

I got feelings in my gut

Its hard to believe in a thing called luck

When you got talent in the tuck

I been down when the rent wasn’t paid

And my momma had no way

And I

die always

die always

I been down when the rent wasn’t paid

And my momma had no way

And I

die always

die always

Its easy to judge when you ignorant

neighbour got killed he was innocent

We mourn his death in our dissonance

PTSD turn me vigilant

He got shot in front of our home

black man

gone by the chrome

PT cruiser sped off and drove

On sight if I caught him alone

We gon Mob

Don Corleone

I’m a JID

But I feel like him grown

Im a kid

But I feel like I’m old

Same thing

I speak from the soul

I got friends, I still feel alone

My aunt passed, I still feel her soul

When we pass

do we know where we go

Somethings

we just never know..

I been down when the rent wasn’t paid

And my momma had no way

And I

die always

die always

I been down when the rent wasn’t paid

And my momma had no way

And I

die always

die always
