Last Place

[00:00.00]I'd be telling y'all a whole different story about a good life
[00:04.87]It'd be a whole different story
[00:06.75]This the stuff only suffering makes (Listen, listen right here)
[00:14.60]This the stuff only suffering makes
[00:18.79]This the sound of last place
[00:20.39]Classmates, we only had one pair of pants, they caught a lot of slack
[00:24.74]Tired of eatin' kid meals, to be a big deal you got a MAC
[00:28.78]For ascendance, never gained ground defendin', it's 'bout attack
[00:32.38]Build knowledge, acknowledge my birthdate, I'm first rate, not a hack
[00:36.55]My only dream of bliss, I fiend for this, so if it's not dope it's not a track
[00:40.59]Many phony known to phone it in, I never dialed it back
[00:44.26]I'm not dense, I know tryna make sense don't make dollars stack
[00:48.62]But I insist like a dying wish, best gift that you can give a child is fact
[00:52.14]Speak my life and times without recycled rhymes that bought a lot of waste
[00:56.07]Every house party ended with somebody got offended, just shot the place
[01:00.42]Even before four chicken wings and fried rice I stop for grace
[01:04.14]I fear they always watch us so whenever I pop in I drop the drapes
[01:10.20]This the stuff only suffering makes
[01:14.20]This the sound of last place
[01:24.68]I'm just another scarred mind, I'm tryna generate
[01:27.65]A dinner plate, car line with hard time on the interstate
[01:31.92]Adapt, don't assimilate, don't just be happy getting in it, innovate
[01:35.72]What I jot up don't got to flood you a product to end the day
[01:39.58]He popped the web, pops was quick with the whip, was whipped into shape
[01:43.27]From a cruel hub, not this new love, I'm from vintage hate
[01:47.91]Privately tryna survive but he wasn't designed to
[01:51.19]Trying to control the frontal lobe, but in the back of my mind knew
[01:55.79]They peddled fiction ghetto depictions, is how it really look
[01:59.35]I fought giants with defiance, of course can't triumph with Lilliput
[02:03.03]Kept my iron on, wish I ain't known nothin' 'bout havin' drama
[02:06.99]The novelty of wearing poverty as a badge of honor
[02:11.48]The astute listen and hear every soup kitchen and breadline
[02:14.00]Work we put in then when it should have been bedtime
[02:19.27]Could never reach for sour grapes, but still sad wine
[02:23.03]He won't come out alive tryna dead mine
[02:28.64]This the stuff only suffering makes
[02:32.90]This the sound of last place
[02:37.73]Last place
[02:39.65]Ain't nobody rich in the ghetto, nobody rich in the ghetto
[02:43.26]If we was rich we wouldn't be here
[02:47.82]
