about

David Ashley presents the first installment of his new series titled "Brand New Heavies"

lyrics

I took the 80 to the 55. City where the shit gets live
Niggas died. Into it from different sides. Precipitation in the eyes
Had me asking who survive?
Whoever got the inner drive
Drug possession in the ride
Slow this bitch then hit a right
Cool it bro don’t skip a light
Judges giving niggas life
Things was getting hectic
Time for y’all to get a different life
Rolling sticky mixing rice
Reminisce on different nights
With niggas who had different struggles
Same feeling. Different plights
Hope you winning in your fight
We all had some obstacles to climb
Shit be possible with time
Time to get it nigga
Only shit to stop me is my mind
Same thing that got me here
Be hard to trust yourself through all the tribulations of the years
Same time, that all depends
Because the older I got. I got better at making ends
Yet the parallels is that I’m less likely to keep some friends
Need inner peace. Let’s grow and make amends
Let it go. It must begin
We gotta start. A lot of animosity
Get all the hatred out the hearts
My shit harden. A shame
We all should’ve been balling like James
Get all the calls. Make babies like plays
Pick & roll with the womb
They want us locked away or buried stiff. Cold in a tomb
Rude awakening. We fucked up the game. Them wins due
So what you say to getting out, making moves
Producing change?
Devils couldn’t hang on to my truths. No strange fruits
If I died today it wouldn’t be cool. That’s not ok
Me and my partner got so much shit to do. Lets find a way and shit be smooth
