Four Schools Deep

Intro

Yeah, ayy, skrrt through the pain, uh

Movin' again, life don't wait, nah

Verse

Four schools in four years, backpack heavy with the weight

New hallways, same stares, tryna find a place to stay

Mom packin' boxes at dawn, dad chasin' that next check

I’m the new kid every time, fake smile, hide the wreck

Teachers callin' roll, I’m just a number on the list

Friends I make in September, by June they don’t exist

Lunchroom tables turn cold when they see you don’t belong

I eat quiet, headphones on, play the same old song

Bills stackin', lights flickerin', arguments through the walls

I’m thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, watchin' it all fall

Sleepin' on floors, couch to couch, dreams gettin' smaller

But I still write these rhymes, turn the struggle to a brawler

New city, new zip code, same me in the mirror

Tryna keep my head up when the future lookin' clearer? Nah

Grades slippin', heart trippin', feel like givin' up quick

But the pen keep movin', got the fire in the wick

Chorus

Life keep movin', I keep runnin' (runnin')

Four schools deep, still learnin' (learnin')

Bags on my back, dreams in my pocket (pocket)

Ayy, yeah, I ain't stoppin', nah I ain't stoppin'

Life keep movin', I keep runnin' (runnin')

Four schools deep, still learnin' (learnin')

Bags on my back, dreams in my pocket (pocket)

Ayy, yeah, I ain't stoppin', nah I ain't stoppin'

Verse

Homies from the first school hit my line like "where you at?"

I say "new state, new plate, tryna not collapse"

Teachers say I got potential, but potential don't pay rent

I’m hustlin' after class, stackin' pennies just to vent

Family fractured, pieces scattered like the roads we take

I call 'em when I can, but the signal always break

Bullies at the third school tried to test my resolve

I swung back with words, left 'em stunned and dissolved

Now at the fourth, I’m older, colder, eyes on the prize

But the moves keep comin', got no time for goodbyes

Life throwin' curves, I’m swingin' blind in the dark

One day I’ll land soft, but right now I just bark

At the system, at the distance, at the nights I cried alone

Turn the tears to fuel, now the engine full grown

Still strugglin', still jugglin', still searchin' for home

But the beat keep playin', so I spit till I’m known

Chorus

Life keep movin', I keep runnin' (runnin')

Four schools deep, still learnin' (learnin')

Bags on my back, dreams in my pocket (pocket)

Ayy, yeah, I ain't stoppin', nah I ain't stoppin'

Life keep movin', I keep runnin' (runnin')

Four schools deep, still learnin' (learnin')

Bags on my back, dreams in my pocket (pocket)

Ayy, yeah, I ain't stoppin', nah I ain't stoppin'

Outro

Ayy... still movin'... uh...
