Newark, by Justin Gonzalez
What is Newark?
Newark, is like a big ass wall
A city, made out of bricks
And every time you try to destroy it, it rebuilds
What are drugs?
Drugs are something you use,
As an excuse to cope with the pain
It leaves you standing on the sidewalk talking to yourself
You start twitching, itching
And once you tell yourself I ain't doing drugs anymore,
You start begging for money, and those pennies that you saved,
Were supposed to be for food, but instead, you use it to buy dope
What's desperation?
Desperation makes you join an affiliation
Desperation makes you jealous, it turns you into a monster
Desperation is evil, it kills
Desperation is how you feel, when you can't pay your bills
Life causes desperation
But money, is your life's damnation
So lemme tell you somethin'
Newark (Echoed)
I'm Tired
I'm Tired
I'm broke
No joke
Not woke
The stroke
No hope
This rope
I grope
Buy dope
I cope
Say nope
I mope
No soap
The pope
He spoke
I smoke
Do coke
Revoke
Evokes
Kill folks
A hoax
Buy cloaks
Invokes
She chokes
And pokes
Take notes
I end
This off
By saying
Just this
But I'm Tired, required, to feel inspired
I'm Tired, I suck? Well that's because you swallow
I'm Tired, of DoorDash, it taste like ass
I'm Tired, of driving, for just ten dollars
I'm Tired, directions, with never any corrections
I'm Tired, the people, are blind like sheeple
I'm Tired, your burger, just missing a pickle
I'm Tired, the ones, that share two faces
I'm Tired, your nice, but don't forget the price
I'm Tired, what's trust? It's filled with distrust
I'm Tired, you talk, but could never walk the walk
I'm Tired, and weak, I really want to shriek
I'm Tired, your make, it only says fake
I'm Tired, lets date, come meet me by the lake
I'm Tired, I'm down, with only that frown
I'm Tired, the kills, you lack the skills
I'm Tired, let's fight, I hate your sight
I'm Tired, I think? Should I grab a drink?
I'm tired, my bed, it's where I bled
I'm Tired, you judge, but never wanna budge
I'm Tired, let's smoke, it makes me feel awoke
I'm Tired, your drunk, it's why you flunked
I'm Tired…
I'm Tired of all the liars
I'm Tired of making mistakes
I'm Tired of this society, that only brings anxiety
I'm Tired of my gastritis
Too Tired, Esophagitis
I'm Tired of going to college to just gain, some knowledge
I'm Tired of paying for college
Too hell with that paper
I'm Tired of doing some labor
I'm Tired of owing favors
I'm Tired of you getting annoyed
And this life being a zoo
What else should I do?
I'm just Tired of you
I'm Tired of my, crappy Jeep
It's gonna put me to sleep, and
I'm Tired of you talking shit
And it's only done behind my back
And not being said to my face
And I'm Tired of, paying bills
I'm Tired of, taking Advils
I'm Tired of, being sent home
I'm Tired of, being smeared
I'm Tired of, not being cheered
I'm Tired of, being so poor
I'm Tired of, feeling so sore
I'm Tired of, all the jobs
I'm Tired of, all the mobs
I'm Tired of, being nice
I'm Tired of, paying the price
You think I'm soft
With my heart all glossed
But I've been tossed
With me no cross
So pass the hot sauce
Cause I'm the boss
My name's not Ross
Your teeth needs floss
I make no flaws
Cause I got balls
No more missed calls
I'll break your jaw
I'll break the law
I came, I saw
I take what's mine
So praise the lord
It rains it pours
I stop the wars
Who's keeping score?
I cannot stop
Go tell the cop
Until I drop
Cause I'm Tired…
But not yet, retired
Express Yourself
(Ellie's part, performed by Justin)
Antes de que estuviera lista para hablar
Necesitaba descubrirme en silencio
No me he conocido
Todo de mí misma, todavía
Detesto que la ansiedad me controla
Estoy cansada
Estoy cansada (Stretched)
