East of Eden

VERSE:
I'm like 4 bottles in...I feel my head spinning
Got a tube sock full of cash from all this bread winning
Phone ring I ain't picking up
It's a thin line for my love and the shorty ain't thick enough so I'm gone
Responsibilities leave me lone
She a alto. Steady singing me sad songs. This ain't yo outro
Mothers turned into fathers before this gender dealing
Lifetime tv run marathons of these ba*tard children
BRIDGE:
I took a road trip to the East to pick my "pieces" up!
Detoured through the hood and threw my peaces up
Made a home here it's bitter sweet but uhh
Gotta make a move like the lease is up
VERSE:
I'm Grateful that my Patnas in the east let me hold sumthin
So I keep this heater. Heard it's gone be a cold summer
Supposed to be in church but please do not tell my grandmother
That don't last. Life went fast. I was broke like gla**
And that bucket that they pa**in ain't goin to me
You can keep yo two cents. But they don't mean that when it come to money tho
Ima keep it hunned tho
Flip it and stack a hunned mo
See we came from the west side
Where the best ride before they reach 25
I'm grateful to be alive
When I die, never suicide
They gone have to strip my soul away
It's d**h before dishonor like the soldier say
I live by soldier words
But I don't war that way
You can learn a lot from studying my lineage
We was masters never slaves to no opinions
We owned the land and everything in it
No need in it
Really was princes and kings in it
VERSE:
Ever since that day
I repeat, I repeat, I repeat, I repeat the cycle
Tryna get where I can be, I can be, I can be right by you
There goes my effort. My human effort
Tryna piece it together
Lord knows I'm desperate it's sad lowkey depressin
See my fumblin hands
Missed opportunities but still a catch a body and scram
A character just like I'm Tommy or Pam on Martin
I change my face to match the role that I'm in like Martin

VERSE:
Holy Spirit told me
Cellus you should give em the context
East of Eden ain't a place
It's more of a mindset
Ever since Adam and Eve
We been deceived
Missing the essence...
Sewing fig leaves together
Steady fleein the presence
