Cedar Ave Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse One]
I don't need much no such thing as a free lunch
In the dry season kids burning all the trees up
Used to kicking flows at the park til' police come
Cats used to square up didn't ever needs guns
Dawn of a new age though having mood swings
Wake up from blue dreams break up out the routine
& put the Wu-Tang instead of 2 Chainz
Might be too late the poison's in the Koolaid
But who's to say cats from around here moved away
Got locked down or they caught themselves a coup de grace'
So we're treating this energy like a boomerang
Seen it done do the same whatever gets you through the day
It's all love till the laws come
& Charles Darwin separates the weak from the strong
Who have the initiative to seek what they want
You ain't love me you can leave me alone we're all grown

[Scratches]

[Verse Two]
Me and my brethren bout' to help the record spin
Read the writing on the wall legalize the medecine
Manny on a mission the mission is developing
Hope you dodge the zealots and these mandatory sentences
Hold up what you wanna be when you grow up
Tryna' flow with Grandmaster Caz from the Cold Crush
Jump through the window if they try to slam the door shut
Keep copping beats out the Lake St Store front
Old school flavor but I'm making it my own
Use the earpiece avoid the radiation of your phone
You ain't feel it til' it's aching in your bones
Same type of hunger make your little homie break into your home
Skinny cat off of 32nd street spitting raps
Doo-Wop Rooftops where the ceilings at
It's no kings no pawns full of lily pads
Catch me where the south side of my city is
[Scratches]
