Am
tape deck,
ain't getting the cake yet
wish I got stuck in the latex
G
Am
cause they ain't got paid yet
My cousin on the pipe
but her relationship same sex
My mother believed in education
A stationary mindset of
smokin' and drinkin'
Fuck school and I don't really
give a fuck what you think
G
B
Mama, ain't like the way
I'm a rap, up in her face, she yellin' back
If you can't respect your mama,
again and again
G
Am
tell my story to the rest of the world
I buy a crib for my number one girl
You can blossom,
Am
G
Challenges that come from
Where you keep on locked up
keep your head up,
put your eyes to the fire
then the phone rang
The homie was calling,
G
Am
Tryin' to get paper,
his baby mama a stranger,
he never seein' his daughter
G
Am
That kinda made me feel anger
when I be thinkin' bout it
He said, you rappin',
and let him know that you with it
You see, it's tough to go get it,
cause it ain't givin'
My nigga clutchin' a Smith
inside this livin' is wack
we givin' him crack
It's seepin' deeper than that
to see the people react
That's what we do it for
but shit, it's who you know
to let them toolies blow
They switch sides and shit,
but they can't fool me though
Murder in the first,
so these niggas gotta do it low
no matter where you come from
Am
G
Challenges that come from
Am
G
where you let your head in
Am
G
Am
Where you keep on locked up
keep your head up,
put your eyes to the fire
Tell me why you act this way
that you act this way
Frustrated with life?
To where you can't appreciate
what you've been given in life?
It's a blessing,
claiming you stressin',
That's God, family, and love,
instead you rappin'
Is that the way you was raised?
Am
G
I know your brother was raised
where you had beef with that one clique
A ten -year -old boy murdered
over some dumb shit
to impress who you run with
But what if you the one
that 5 -0 gon' come get?
Am
G
I know it cause I been where you are
I used to scream, the world,
I was delivered by God
and marriage doesn't exist
Marriage doesn't exist
You can fly some,
Am
G
Challenges that come from where
And where you keep on locked up

Twice upon a time, there were two friends
E
Dbm
A
They referred to that shit as
the concrete
Because it was the toughest environment
Am
Eaug
ever made it out to do or be anything
lot faster than the other
his grandmother
Due to his mother being
strung out on drugs
he chose to sell drugs
in order to take care of his brother and
his grandmother,
the house.
With some of the money he saved,
he bought a 1994 Acura Legend,
E
the car he spent his time making deliveries in,
occasionally using
the back seat
as a makeshift bedroom
The other friend grew up
Though separated,
they both remained very
active in his life.
He chose to make music
as the best rapper from his neighborhood.
The homies would call him
Gbm
the rapper killer.
Some nights he would have bad dreams
about the neighborhood
and getting caught up in the life
ately to avoid.
Ironically, his dreams were
his best friend's reality.
Eaug
E
well, that's a phrase
that the homies from the concrete
important than getting paid,
with girls they met.
they would both have baby boys
in the same month.
But both relationships began to strain
unsure if they wanted to stay
and make the family work,
like the fathers before them.
and all four people would
become single parents.
The Rose Theory is conflict.
about who's had it the roughest,
and who was more of a man
that they both had to overcome growing up.
By doing this,
they realize that they are one in the same,
The rapper wrote a song
called No More Parties in Fort Worth
Gbm
about one of the homies that's locked up,
baby mother.
We see her at every party,
every weekend,
at the crib.
The conversation he
had with her
wasn't meant to be disrespectful,
At this point in the story,
the two friends have been through
A
so much
that they're just in the pursuit
of happiness.
The friend that made his money
serving fiends
that there was no future for him in
this business.
Unfortunately,
he had made so many enemies
that he would live for much longer.
He made a tape for his son
Not being able to handle
the paranoia and stress that comes with
and living with more regret than
one man can bear,
for this world
and committed suicide.
A couple days after the body was found
checked the mail
and inside was a tape
with a letter attached
with the title being Blossom.
