Marcusorelias Lyrics - Singles - Marcus Orelias

(Verse 1: Marcus Orelias) 

Marcus, show no mercy 

Save that for your brainwash 

My daddy was a thug; momma was a hippie 

Now you got me, product of Bayview-HP 

Where vampires ride when its dark 

Toss detergent like its time to wash 

Turn your TVs off; curtains down (gunshots) 

Its never safe to watch 

3 deep in a hoopty-peel off; tire marks skid off. 

What goes around, comes around 

Remember that bending blocks. 

Before bike lanes and street chalk 

Dim streetlights, police hawk; concrete lines 

Stereotypes of street crime, got us strapped with four nines 

We work hard; fight harder so they gentrify 

I was once scared to define, cross streets 

In fear that theyd judge me or jump me 

So trust me, I left the house 

Late to school, skipping school, after school 

Down watching street fights then mob back to the T line 

Loud music from metros, we K-9s on felines 

Being on time, be the last thing on our minds 

Adults keep telling me, diploma is what I need 

To function in society, I just want to see 

Different seas, in my head it plays out, assed out. 

Im just tryna get my ass out, first class 

Before I blast out or pass out 

Writing rhymes all night, late nights getting no sleep 

My producer grinding, making beats 

Oh you counting bread? They counting sheep. 

You might be rich but you still weak. 

Get to know me; Im getting started like Monday 

First day of the week, I want you, 365 and a leap 

Feel free to jump, you already know. Its mighty steep 

Some people stay in the shallow end, so I think deep. 

Six feet, with all these odds against me 

No hand outs, made my own way 

So turn it up I got something to say
