Will Sessions - Knowledge of 12th lyrics

Yeah, I'm just a kid from
Detroit who started scribblin'

Up and down the streets of 12th all
I saw was the livin' lawless
Nothing was flawless
The kid pumpin' raw was slangin' his harvest
He'll be fourteen in August with
Whiskers like a walrus i observed as a youth
And vests is bulletproof
From drama on the streets to
Problems under my roof
The city ain't been the same since the
Block got scorched from all the riots
They say they used to sleep on they porch
At least that's what I heard
Eavesdroppin' on card games
Sneakin' to sip Miller in the era of Thriller
You feel the chill of your body how
Mommy tells you to get down
From shots bustin' out the window
Of a Monte Carlo
They found Marlow lyin' dead
With his Marlboro half-lit
By some half-wit who lost his marbles
Or was it retaliations from
Fiends in the alley
Chasin' his first high and now he basin'
I'm just givin' you my views
That made me confused
Like seein' bums with no shoes
Who's beggin to buy booze
My cousin abused drugs
Was too young to know greens
Can take away your blues
Or the crack, or the liquor from the lack
Of the figures are bein' stacked
Niggas black from the back of the trigger
They might point it at they
Self with livin' on 12th
Dream of get rich schemin'
While demons move stealth
Think about what they drove and
The way that we're clothed
Have your family ever had to heat
Your house with the stove?
Refrigerator on E
Your kitchen full of mouse traps
Eating Ramen noodles till someone
In your house snaps
You would sneak up the block
And get your mouth slapped
Probably in front of your friends
Your momma's plans undoubtedly was tryna' get
You out of harm's way
Where they set off fire
Alarms with firearm spray on 12th Street
