125 part 2 (fresh air)
Singer:joell ortiz
yooo-wah! it's the boy joell ortiz
we at a half a brick now!
y'all know the work is fire
the projects steps is wet with piss
mischievous kids steal chips outta the corner store
eviction letters on your door when your rent late
you riffin like your welfare was supposed to have set cake
we turn the johnny pump up until the wrench break
you walk by and get a drenched face
every other month you sobbin at a friend's wake
lightin candies in front of the buildin with henn' straight
chinese food is a gourmet meal
that general tso's chicken is always real
elders call the cops cause the hallways filled
so when we see deebo we peel
deep throat is i'll from a true bird
so like two-thirds of the time we climb up to the roof
you can't park your car anywhere
for them rims they'll steal your ride
your whole vehicle gone by the time you realize
somebody flossin quite often at the other side of brooklyn
raise your hand if you spend a night in the book and
bet you i see more arms than saddam and his muslims
it's cocaine cookin in the pot; smell the fumes?
the finished product got the tenants sellin living rooms
they singing a different tune
the crack got their brain boiling like a chicken stew
and watch you go from heavy-set with a job to out of work and invisible
that's a pitiful visual but this shit is true
to be honest some of my fam on a mission too
we play lotto and hope that we hit our way out
i stopped chasin that dream
after the first check came retirement
my situation ain't that urgent
felt like i got ran over by a black 'burban
scenarios like that make me the rap earvin
i'm barry bonds when his bat workin
can everybody just take a deep breath? yes!
let's hear all the nonsense
he's gonna be hard to market
it's that or he's gonna target
and you know like i know that you know that they both get dumb
know my target is everyone
