Malcolm

[Verse] Look, once upon a time around the Southside A young black man grew up in a house Had a pops he never knew, with a mom that's strung out His granny careless just about, say he'll never make it out Of the hood and had a handful of aunties that can vouch Young nigga named Malcolm, all his homies called him Malc' His big brother off in college, Malcolm took another route From gang banging, 'caine slanging, moms threw him out the house Stuck on probation, on and off since thirteen, been in and out Soon as he turned seventeen, shit got super wild Still a juvenile, he just totin' Rugers now He shootin' now, streets got him, Malcolm ruthless now Mom still gettin' higher than a motherfucker Malcolm used to cry at night, shit a motherfucker Ask hisself why every time he lie at night Sometimes he even pray to God and wish he die at night He grown now, had to get it on his own and He know nobody gon' be there when he alone and So fuck it, he just gon' continue doing wrong then One day he woke up, left the house and he forgot it But somethin' inside told him "Malc', don't leave the ratchet" But he ain't worried, he been lettin' niggas have it All his life he been bangin', stealin', robbin' Killin', livin' heartless, foolish, Godless Stop to get some swishers from the supermarket Usually leave the car in neutral but he parked it Looked in his rearview, two niggas, black Charger Black hoodies, black masks, black carbons He know it's over, try to duck, they start sparkin' Shells poppin' everywhere, Malc' get out of there He goin' crazy 'cause he knew it, Malc' gon' fire Car hit up, windows out but that was minor Perfect setting, it just wasn't Malcolm's time yet Rush in the house, yell out to moms, "Where my iron at?" And now he gettin' high, don't know where his mind at Niggas was masked up, he don't know where to find 'em Was getting out and he ain't know who was behind him But when he catch a nigga slippin', gon' remind 'em Two weeks later, Malc' right back in that action Whip fixed, new tints, painted, slidin' Malc' ridin, late night, 'round three somethin' A youngin focused, he just lookin' and he peeped somethin' Charger parked, car on, he see the heat runnin' Bitch hop in the passenger, he tryna freak somethin' Malcolm ready, his adrenaline just keep rushin' But he ain't buggin', he don't want homie to see him comin' He gon' wait cause when he run up, he ain't leavin' nothin' Fuck around and hit the bitch up, he ain't even bluffin' Look what Malcolm got now, yeah this his lucky day He on a mission, watch the Charger pull off right away Sweet as fuck, nigga pull right up to where he stay Ain't even watching, Malcolm trail a nigga all the way He super geeked, been tryna catch some action all the day Charger pullin' in, parking in the driveway Malcolm parked some houses down, he finna violate But somethin' tell him "Malc', you might as well go all the way You came this far, before you spark them, might as well rob him" Walked him right into the safe, it was a piece of cake Gave him 300K and Malcolm blew his face away Ain't give a fuck, that nigga up, he gave that bitch a break But feds watch the whole thing while they investigate They had surveillance on a nigga's house since yesterday Malc' runnin' out the back door with the cheese K's pointed in his face, "Don't move, freeze!" His mind racing, "Run, throw the gun, shoot, squeeze" But Malcolm came right to his senses, got down on his knees The saddest thing about life it keep revolving Same story, different niggas, same apartments Same gutter, same group of people starving Malcolm could've stayed in school and got a job though But this was all that Malcolm knew, he from Chicago Compare and contrast if Malcolm's from a rich town His whole life was planned out since he was six pounds Let me break it to a core so you can focus more At the age he started puberty, he was smoking weed His eighth grade graduation, he was toting heat His freshman year of high school, he was posted (what you need?) Before he saw his senior year, his life was over (life was over) Over, it's over It's over, over
