I can't travel my block
And I can't have no picnics
The sun don't shine but still it's hot
And you tellin' me "Stop trippin'"
When you walk outside you see the view
But the world gets so so beautiful
Forgot my pretty lie
My pretty lie. My pretty lie. My pretty lie. My pretty lie...
Shots fired on 17th I know
Some guy it ain't surprisin'
I'm thinkin' of ways when I then can change my environment
And I work two jobs every day. Eh yeah eh
It seems like the struggle just ain't worth my pain
So onto the next little hustle
May take in my name clean for my peeps to stay outta trouble
What's goin' on?
What's goin' on?
I can't travel my block
And I can't have no picnics
The sun don't shine but still it's hot
And you tellin' me "Stop trippin'"
When you walk outside you see the view
But the world gets so so beautiful
Forgot my pretty lie
My pretty lie. My pretty lie. My pretty lie. My pretty lie...
Every night and I think of everyday
What that brother Marvin
Used to say to me
And I tell me if I had one wish
It would be just this
That when I turn the TV off at night
I can kiss your fine eyes
I can't travel my block
And I can't have no picnics
The sun don't shine but still it's hot
And you tellin' me "Stop trippin'"
When you walk outside you see the view
But the world gets so so beautiful
Forgot my pretty lie
My pretty lie. My pretty lie. My pretty lie. My pretty lie...
Now they tell me a lot of things
They say I'm supposed to be a little more grateful
But I know the story's just like Cain and Abel uh uh oh
And to me it don't seem different
I'm not changed
You dreamt of the changing
And change my ways
I can't travel my block
And I can't have no picnics
The sun don't shine but still it's hot
And you tellin' me "Stop trippin'"
When you walk outside you see the view
But the world gets so so beautiful
Forgot my pretty lie
My pretty lie. My pretty lie. My pretty lie. My pretty lie...
I can't travel my block
And I can't have no picnics
The sun don't shine but still it's hot
And you tellin' me "Stop trippin'"
When you walk outside you see the view
But the world gets so so beautiful
Forgot my pretty lie
My pretty lie. My pretty lie. My pretty lie. My pretty lie...
