  • From the bottom of the ash I rose, yeah
    To the top I go Where I’m from its cold
    But I don’t need this coat, keep my sleeves rolled
    Got my city’s area code on my shoulder, 216 forever in my soul
    Swear to God every single night its gets colder
    No heat so we all around that stove like

    “Fuck this broke shit”, petty ass hustlin
    Couldn’t even sell one zone
    Slim still workin at the store and the only time
    We ever get to eat is when he brings something home
    Everydays dark here, prayin for a rainbow
    To lead us to that pot of gold
    And exchange those nights on a concrete floor
    For a bottle of Rose to pop that bitch off like we suppose to

    Never gave a fuck if we went gold
    I just wanna be able to say that I made it
    Cause’ real EST mufuckas don’t fold
    Real EST mufuckas dont break up
    Real family grows old, Real EST mufuckas representing
    For the city where they came even when they gone

    And Fuck this throne, ain't no kings
    No pretty princess, ain't no queen
    No fairy tale endings on the Eastside
    Just these broken bomes and those screams
    Broken bones underneath these jeans
    Broken bricks cover up my streets
    Fiends outside trying to get their fix
    While my first born in here trying to get sleep

    Muthafuck this rap shit
    Try burying your boy 6 feet let me show u bout real
    Try telling me that u can’t make it up
    Out the city 26 dollars to multi-mill’s
    Face inside of the XXL
    Then try coming back to the Eastside still
    Well bitch I did, and its still the kid
    Labelled a Bad Boy before this deal

    What up Slim, Dub, Xplo, Dre, Swirv, Ash, my boy BK
    And everybody from the beginning that
    Bled with me knowin I would be here one day
    So as I roll through all the hoods that raised me
    Looking at the house of pain
    I’ma runaway from the ones that pay me hopin
    I’ll stay the same

    Can't you save me?
    Can't you save me?
    Can't you save me?
    Can't you save me? Writer/s: BRIAN ELWIN HANER JR., EWART BRINT, MATTHEW CHARLES SANDERS, OLADIPO O. OMISHORE, RAMI EADEH, RICHARD COLSON BAKER
