Tyrna Fill These Lines Up
My community,the place where I grew up,well not really I’m tryna fill these lines up.
I wish I could say it’s a volcano
Waiting to erupt,but I can’t because it’s not like everything came to a stop.
No brothers from “The Hood” lurking up
To no good.
No Sistas with 4 kids
From 4 different mistas,tryna get they kids to play with your little sisters.
Literally,it’s as white as a piece of copy paper.
The birds sing to us in the morning waking us up as we still yawning.
