Fourth of July
I call my brothers call my cousins making sure they alive
I don’t even know who got hit up I’m just praying that they survived
They shooting right in front of these babies swear that something ain’t right
Something ain’t right
They said these fire crackers ain’t the only thing got lit up
My city all at war if you in the way you gone get hit up
Gotta watch yo body can’t be lacking when you leaving the club

Crazy part about it I was suppose to be there that night it could’ve been me
When I got home saw the news I fell to my knees and I thank god
I was thinking rest in peace oh PNB my city needs something
Ohhh my city needs something
I’m pushing peace I’m just a product of these streets
I ain’t no gangster I’m just me
I found a way out for my family I’m just showing what you could be
It’s been a long
It’s been a long time coming
But change still ain’t come
It’s been a long long long long long long long time
But change still ain’t come

Fourth of July
S*it we was popping M80’s this s*it got crazy
Now we running around all 40s and 9s
My young Boul Brazy I can’t save em they try play em he just ran off like he gone get a b0mb
I see water in his eyes
I don’t tell em like I told em to die
I taught younging how to hustle
I taught shorty to ride
Use to be a fire cracker I taught shorty to cry
Til them shots fired sound like it’s fireworks til we heard them sirens
Praying every night I don’t catch the murder virus
Kill my brother kill ya brother too
Have a murder riot
Do a ritual with them switches tell them burn in fire
He had caught to many cases so he wore a wire

Put a seal all on his statement now he real quiet
You know beefing with the chasers you get real tired
Getting real paper fu*k how they feel about us
We give up fireworks know north side gonna kill about me
We let off fireworks know south side gonna drill about me
I wanna stop the violence but if I slip n!ggas gone still pop me
Damn
To them streets I pledge allegiance giving hell to heathens
It was really hella deceiving I ain’t never see it
We ain’t beefing we doing islands really every season
Because when you hear them fireworks you ain’t never leaving
Lighters

Fourth of July
I call my brothers call my cousins making sure they alive
I don’t even know who got hit up I’m just praying that they survived
They shooting right in front of these babies swear that something ain’t right
Something ain’t right
They said these fire crackers ain’t the only thing got lit up
My city all at war if you in the way you gone get hit up
Gotta watch yo body can’t be lacking when you leaving the club

It’s been a long long long long long long long time
But change still ain’t come
