East of Eden Written by: Cellus Hamilton Produced by: Rozart 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 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: 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
