REVERIE - Tragic Kingdom lyrics

This is for the homies facing life
And for the homies serving life

It’s just another rainy day up in Seattle
Every day a constant battle
Bitch, you gon get stepped on like
A stone if you fragile
Clouds engulf the sky, such a beautiful sight
Walked home to a letter from
My ex- he got life
And it’s got me contemplating ‘bout how
Fast your life can be taken
Pull the trigger, no faking-
Boom! A rude awakening!
Now he’s stuck in a cell
Where no one can hear you yell, or scream
Your dreams- now they don’t mean anything
I’ve been crying non stop and it's
Not because I miss him
I’m just sad, disappointed
And the rain it keeps pouring
But, I gotta keep pushing cuz
The days is never ending
If I ever said it’s not hard
Being a thug- I was pretending
Cuz this lifestyle that we reppin- gotta
Be careful where you stepping
Don’t come blessing through my section if
You ain’t packing a weapon
Cuz the streets is no joke, nah
This ain’t no laughing matter-
Either your dreams get shattered or
Your brain get splattered!

Welcome to the streets
Come inside my tragic kingdom
I’ll show you what we’ve learned
Throughout the years- hella wisdom
Corrupted by revenge- I contributed
To the cycle
Best friends with murderers, lifers
Snipers and psychos

It’s just another song about my struggles
Smoking, getting in trouble kicking up dust
Better back up when we bust!
Homie, trust, you ain’t seen it-
Gangsters possessed by demons
Money, drugs, power
And you best not come between it! Trust me
I got my reasons for being tough every season
I’m competing with the enemies and
I’m leading- best believe it!
Wanna be it till you see somebody murdered
Till your roll dog gets killed by
Someone you never heard of
And thats when it's kicks in-
That craving is sickening
Kill em or be killed by em- we still dying
They say "an eye for an eye, "
"stay quiet, " "get up and fight, "
Either way, you toss and turning- trouble
Sleeping every night
Gotta lie to the pigs- that’s
The code of the streets
We got silencers to quiet her
Bitch, don’t speak!
Got my hood mentality and that’s
Something I’ll never trade!
Put it down for my neighborhood-
I rep it everyday!

Welcome to the streets
Come inside my tragic kingdom
I’ll show you what we’ve learned
Throughout the years- hella wisdom
Corrupted by revenge- I contributed
To the cycle
Best friends with murderers, lifers
Snipers and psychos
