[Hook]
Look through the window
Tell me what I couldn't see
A beautiful planet
Peace and harmony

[Verse 1]
As I begin to gaze out of the windows of my soul
I notice that my habitat is still out of control
Police don't patrol with a third of us on parole
The rest are nine-to-fiving it and going with the flow
Nobody seem to look up at the sky no more
It's like people living secret lives behind closed doors
I remember when the coke was raw, line so pure
Or when the one that had your eyes wide open but lock jaw
Nowadays they burning piff piece or rocking popping mollies
Everyone a boss but they resume got no bodies
Loyalty is absent, keep a close eye on your colleague
Cause I was always taught to be better safe than sorry
When it rains it pours in this concrete safari
When D's roll, we peel 'em with the speed of a Ferrari
Liquor pour, for my mans outlined by the yellow tape
Peace and harmony are only found on days that I escape

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Tell you the truth, the enemies, we got nothing in common
My team squeeze triggers like they squeezing the shaman
Bring you real close to your karma, bang bang
It's us dog, life in this shit, chain gang
Hip hop's my only comfort, ride my with mans in them
Hard time family, pistols we brandish them
Police out there killing us, better know how to aim
They'll shoot you in your back, it ain't nothing but a thing
They still get a pension, not to mention a medal
The streets stay hot, blow the whistle like a tea kettle
Wanna make it out the hood, however brief
Young rhyme boys, they wanna be Chief Keef
Wanna pop hollows, chase wigs for bottles
Don't know how closely death follows
Peace is a state of mind, often I find
But I strive for a better situation all the time

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Sneakers hanging off the telephone pole, abandoned residence
Fiends scrambling, homies gambling, dead presidents
The root of all evil: money, lust, and greed
So concerned with the trap, they forgot about they seeds
Time flies, some of us in the same position
Locked up, nowhere to go, cause pops is missing
Very few make it out of the hood
Ain't nothing changed just you on the same blocks
Or sleep in the same cell, or die in the same hood
Seeing through the smokescreen, lies and deceit
It's rising like yeast, survive all the creeps, deny me to sleep
Through the windows seeing things that'll make your eyes bleed
Gems start scraping the plate at light speeds
?, turn to ? fiends
Homicide scenes got me going out of my mind while I'm searching for beats
Soul searching, never fold when they unleash the beast
Ain't no love on these streets, ya heard?

[Hook]
