lyrics

Bry-sone!
Uhh uhhh see this ain’t the 90s don’t be confused with snapbacks and skinny jeans/
yeah we brought it back, that’s the little things/ but y’all still killing, killed my lil’ homie dreams
gotta stop that diploma you should cop that/ they spilling drinks all over the floor you gotta mop that
and now you feel hate/ like when you got that letter telling you, you gotta skate
yeah they fitting to take ya property sorta like monopoly/ but they pay you instead but how much bread/
they callin it eminent domain you see their problem is they ain’t got no shame/
and to make my city better, lets be positive trend-setters / going to school in any weather
instead of killing for the cheddar lets change for the better/ influence the young and be inspired all together

verse 2
took 20 years to turn my town into a city/ they’re tearing down homes and schools it’s such a pity/
you see these sad faces because of displacement/ lets start off with the kids and let em know that were adjacent/ ‘cause that’s where it all begins the young to the old/ grab a youth and show em in ya heart that you could mold ‘em/ into a teacher, president, lawyer or a doctor/ saving lives instead of gettin chased by the coppers/

Hype Man
Our History see it’s timeless/ Small town cemetary don’t define us/ ‘Cause we give birth to the talented and finest/ If you not hearing what we saying then don’t mind us/ but if you listening then listen to this/ the nairobi spirit is in us all try not to resist/ just because it doesn’t exist doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist/ but neccesaryily that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist


This ain’t the nineties ‘cause back then I was crazy/ Ima tell you first hand see I’m a nineties baby/ 1991 when I was brought to this world/ not knowing what was happening to boys and girls/ ‘cause our economy started developing the poverty/ Where negativity just sitting outside your property/ See back then I still remember the Plug It In community center where kids always was welcomed in/ Then they tore it down and bet they thought they was clever/ Putting new things and then hoping things would get better/ but then again, I can’t blame them for trying/ even though a lot of people just still kept dieing/ M-M-A-P is like solidification we don’t hurt our own people with the gentrification/ ‘Cause back then Yeah, was a disaster/ We ain’t the puppets no more we the puppet masters
