Shle Berry - From Milwaukee lyrics

Intro: I think, maybe, you know I'm not sure. I don't know if people know that I'm from Milwaukee. Or maybe they do. I just don't really talk about it that much, but, I mean, that doesn't mean that I don't got mad love for Milwaukee. You know? Cuz I do Verse 1: Yea Born and raised in the MKE You brag about the S on your chest but you can't save me It's all of them verse me A novelist pays me You couldn't write to save your life and bro the pens are free Most the rappers in Milwaukee are top heavy and co*ky They're not ready to stop me I got plenty of hobbies To knock off anybody Who lock steady and copy Or pop pennies for Mollies Got bodies filling the lobbies, while you Throw the liquor in the flask Witness pictures of that a** You've been looking in the mirror While you been rinsing off the mask You talk before the glory is exemplified And then you brag about the person that you dread inside I come around and I get pushed to the curb We don't cheer for each other, cuz we all wanna be heard You don't give opportunities, we all wanna be equal Oh, yea the city's on your back but you forgot all the people You right Only support if there's benefit involved We have problems here to solve We say things that just dissolve We swear that we care, but we're becoming more evolved Our greediness and pride get us no where near resolved Try your hardest to survive, we all wanna endure With attention in your pocket, got the vision obscure See you posting for the likes, confidence is unsure Sacrifice authenticity just to feel more secure Yea Don't get me wrong I have some issues of my own All I want is you to answer when I hit you on my phone I was lost and education was important to me So I invested in myself and went and got my degree Dropping out to be a rapper has been growing a trend Never know how to start it, just where we want it to end People think I waste my time Reading books with these a**ignments They lack a sense of character and sadly never find it We making moves and we puff out our chest But a pawn is still a pawn and they maneuver in chess I never stress, never been the one to try to impress I'm writing lyrics and spit 'em because I like to express See my city united would be a glorious view I was wrapped up in society, I'm shaking it loose I don't wanna fit the mold, I wanna ooze through the creases Your mouth is even running when you loose all you're sneakers I'm here, chasing, slowly to become A piece of history with couple fingers and a thumb Been looking for myself, pulling pages out the binding When I take away the covers, I've enjoyed what I'm finding Not here to build a story about something I'm not Been cutting the superficial, I've been using the crop And the day is gonna come, I'll be in Cali drinking coffee And I hope I get the chance so I can say I'm from Milwaukee
