Bean One - Tear Him Down lyrics

[Verse One] Just rollin' down the 5 & 10, puffin' a Parliament Was thinkin' how I could've made my life better, start at this ? city that I parted with, it's obvious Police, they wanna pull me over, get behind and follow us Momma it's your rap boy chasin' after big dreams Never was an actor, don't wanna be on TV Climbin' out my rap scene, a diamond in the ruff seems Harder to discover for my brothers at the swap meet I live in that part of town where bullets tend to fly around You frontin' like you Hollywood, it's special they will lay you down Down like any other hood, a struggle out the ghetto could Be tougher when you started out with nothin', just a neighborhood I stayed away from g**nin', crack sales, c**aine Whoops, I've seen some family members fall from the same thang You would think that I would know better Focused now I'm headed for that credit I'm deserving while I'm stackin' up these letters [Hook] Your big dreams The rap scene The T.V Police be That c**aine The same thangs They don't change They tear him down The girlfriends Your fake friends You got bills But no ends Your family No plan B The city They tear him down [Verse Two] My little homie Kevin at 11 start the 'G' life Had another father made it 16, the streets might Try to tear him down, I'm on the Greyhound to Oakland Livin' in a warehouse, he's rappin' hella broke there I talk him into movin' to the Bay and he was feelin' it Just movin' outta L.A. just for a minute, independent sh** His momma recommended him, then right before the summer hit He's riddled by some bullets while he's chillin' on some other sh** Wrong place, wrong time Same thing, black crime Police ain't really caring it's apparent when they work the case Investigate, they slow the pace Checkin' out the world of hate Rememberin' my boy up in his coffin with his poker face [Hook] They tear him down [Verse Three] Met a nice girl, dated for awhile and then he moved her in Couldn't let go of the others he was movin' with Goin' out on tours and wildin' out when they was keepin' secrets Holmes, they did it bare back ? so they keep it Keepin' up the arguments, women got that Spidey sense They know what y'all be doin' on the under so it made it tense Since it wasn't based on the truth, the resentment Just screwin' her heart to the proof that his interest As she makes her exit, karma is accepted You regret it, never thought that it could happen till you let it And I bet it never ever crossed your mind till you're headed down The life was tough enough and then you had to go and tear it down [Hook]
