The Natives are growing Restless
Better yet they going wreckless
Who cares about a DMV best list
I take a listen and they all so unimpressive
I'm taking Bong Rips in Texas
Testing how wide my chest gets
You only live once plus I'm on the guestlist
Performing at a Conference called Nexus
Yes it's Katrina & Wes the Lord blessed us
9-1-1 the natives are growing restless
Bugged out gritty the city is so infested
Congested & filled wit a whole lotta yes men
Lines got crossed some people got disconnected
And these youngins today ain't nothin 2 mess wit
I try to keep my head to the sky like Ann Nesby
But neighbors keep on blowing my high they won't let me yall
The Natives are growing Desperate
Fighting over who's most effective
That's all opinion and based on perspective
Turncoats DMV Rap Detectives
A city with false hope in the elected
White City used to be Brown Complexted
Something in the Water and Complexes
I know this and yall guest this
Ayo check this, I'm so complexed as my complex is
Dark skinned families they lived in my complex there
On the corner wit incense and oils out there
Now u hit da corner it's only them boys out there
Meanwhile the natives is getting pushed out
The gas goin up and the youngins is getting took out
They putting fentanyl in the pills it's in the hoods now
They get elected but yet they still let the hood down
The Natives are Getting Smoked out
The rent is too high getting choked out
The youngins are pilled out doped out
Coked Out and shit hoped out
They done pushed Captain White's boat out
The Wharf aint the same pushed folks out
Million Dollar Apartments used to be the coke house
Speed Walkers and their dogs in the coke house
Public housing walking around pulling they notes out
They bulldozing us down soon as the votes out
They was lodging ppl in spaces before we logged out
Got cats wondering when and who the dogs out
COVID had the city on fire they called the guards out
City officials and issues is getting called out
We never was even with them been on the odds out
I know they all see it the Vlog's out

This is not the city I recall
Melodies are Bitter when you let them fall
Don't let us disguise it with the smokey haze
Don't let us disguise it with the smokey haze
My City got Negus Straight up In A Chokehold
Condos In Columbia Heights
Migos are Going Loco
Poisonous Water In the Schools
Worst Than The Congo
Sippin' On That Mambo
Banging Sticks on Bongos
My Cousins Sick Of Roaches
But they never been those Voters
Only Specializing On heaters bitches and toasters
Hanging rap posters
Flipping capone ashes on toasters and coasters
Scratch that
They don't use coasters
These Youngins feel so hopeless
Feel so voiceless
Chokehold on them limiting their choices
Politicians are Posers
Ain't doing what they suppose ta
Homeless families from Deanwood to Saratoga
You can see it with your own eyes not cause I told ya
Carpet Baggers and all these posers
Spring time Might've been colder
But summers here
Don't forget to look over your shoulder
This is not the city I recall
Melodies are Bitter when you let them fall
Don't let us disguise it with the smokey haze
Don't let us disguise it with the smokey haze
The city I recall wasn't this at all
Gotta stay alert
You blink a eye and u might miss it all
Wasn't long ago when chocolate city wasn't mixed at all
It done changed so much u come here
Now this shit might piss u off
I just smoke a Jay and reminisce on shit
Stone soul picnic shit
Now niggaz stone cold
They on some different shit
Georgia Avenue day gone like where it went and shit
Soon as the band came on they started killing shit
All the recs got closed down
Fuck all the kids and shit
They give a fuck bout our children too busy building shit
Babies having babies and rappers is getting killed n shit
Cameras in the lights ain't no telling how much the city get
Or gotten in the last couple years
They on they Diddy shit
Day twenty one tickets double but we ain't singing shit
Politicians come in the hood but never bringing shit
But posters and campaign signs
Fuck we Gone do with this?
This is not the city I recall
Melodies are Bitter when you let them fall
Don't let us disguise it with the smokey haze
Don't let us disguise it with the smokey haze
