Off The Sidewalk by Slaine
Off The Sidewalk lyrics
[Verse 1:]
This is not an overnight story
A success drawn up in the boardroom by corporate executives
This is not a fabricated gimmick or a mimic
I'm a real life image of the world where the hectic live
Brought up in the streets of purgatory living next to sin
Caught up in the beef and murder stories with my best of friends
Thought of as some creeps and burglars, boy we were just destined then
To take our last breath early, I caught a second wind
My heroes hustlers, fighters, killers, and cons
Ain't none of them that flew with the cape
So with my situation getting grim and my back against the wall
What was I supposed to do to escape?
I moved units hand to hand through dealers with coke baggies and grams
Till it started spreading throughout the states with my street marketing plan
The White Man Is The Devil laid my foundation down
Now I blew up, it's great, I'm internationally known
[Chorus:]
I won't break, no, I won't break
Look me in the eye, he knows my fame
Middle finger in the air, I hear what they talk
And I could care less, you ain't phasing my walk
All I got is all that time so I focus on the grind
You can hear the heat bumping from the sidewalk
I don't trip off nothing, they all can stay fronting
While I make my way off the sidewalk
[Verse 2:]
I walked through this deathtrap and never lost my life, my life lost me
I bought the truth and paid with my youth the price cost me
They want me stabbed to death with the knife, the night's frosty
I stayed up nights and prayed to a Christ but he might cross me
Dudes is looking at my feet, hey wonder what the Nikes cost me
Plus they wanna keep me off the ice like I'm Mike Bossy
There's a price on my head, if these guys?
Or watch me die from nearby sipping their iced coffee
The public love it or hate it, they can't keep their eyes off me
I'm a murderer massacre man, I never die softly
This way more than my music, this a ruthless product
I'm the truthest prophet, anyone who shoot narcotics
My starvation is a nation in a shooter's pocket
I planted seeds, I planted greed and I grew the market
You wanna? with me indeed, I got a crew to spark it
My legend's getting bigger, nothing you can do can stop it
[Chorus]
