4Th Of July (Feat. Fridayy)

Fourth of July
I call my brothers, call my cousins making sure they alive
I don't even know who got hit up, I'm just praying that they survived
They shooting right in front of these babies, swear that something ain't right
Something ain't right
They said these fire crackers ain't the only thing got lit up
My city all at war, if you in the way, you gon' get hit up
Gotta watch yo' body, can't be lacking when you leaving the club

Crazy part about it, I was suppose to be there that night, it could've been me
When I got home, saw the news, I fell to my knees and I thank God
I was thinking rest in peace, oh PNB, my city needs something
Oh, my city needs something
I'm pushing peace, I'm just a product of these streets
I ain't no gangster, I'm just me
I found a way out for my family, I'm just showing what you could be
It's been a long, it's been a long time coming
But change still ain't come
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long time
But change still ain't come

Fourth of July
Shit, we was popping M80s, this shit got crazy
Now we running around all .40s and .9s
My young bull brazy, I can't save him
They try play him, he just ran off like he gon' get a bomb
I see water in his eyes
I don't tell him like I told him to die
I taught youngin how to hustle, I taught shorty to ride
Used to be a fire cracker, I taught shorty to cry

'Til them shots fired, sound like it's fireworks, 'til we heard the sirens
Praying every night, I don't catch the murder virus
Kill my brother, kill your brother too, have a murder riot
Do a ritual with them switches, tell them burn in fire
He had caught too many cases, so he wore a wire
Put a seal all on his statement, now he real quiet
You know beefing with the Chasers, you get real tired
Getting real paper, fuck how they feel about us

We give up fireworks, know Northside gonna kill about me
We let off fireworks, know Southside gonna drill about me
I wanna stop the violence but if I slip, niggas gon' still pop me
Damn
To them streets, I pledge allegiance, giving hell to heathens
It was really hella deceiving, I ain't never see it
We ain't beefing, we doing islands really every season
'Cause when you hear them fireworks, you ain't never leaving
Lighters

Fourth of July

My city all at war, if you in the way, you gon' get hit up
Gotta watch yo' body, can't be lacking when you leaving the club

It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long time
But change still ain't come
