Malcolm

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
