safe roads - dess lyrics

(verse 1)
i only sat next to him
and he started speaking on some tragedy
dwelling deep in his past as he
ill*strated flashbacks of a kid who got nothing going for him
homies was packed and he feared the more that he lasted
sooner he’d come in contact with his death
what is survival?
nothing said can explain it
“fear of death is irrational” only said in them pages
making bread is the last on his dome is head is inflated
with strong attachments and soulmates
he’s full of anger on training
he goes after them
no holding back he’s a sinner, they’re devils advocates
pastor said “no”
practically don’t have a clue the realities happening
laughing one minute, the next?
like a warzone, can’t imagine walking one day in his steps
and i sit there attentive like it’s a lesson i’m bearing
safe distance away from the truth, yo man but where are my parents?
i get a text from a friend, it read “yo when are we playing?”
put that on hold as he commenced, expressing all of his stresses
he says, “the streets here are mean”
i don’t know which ones he means
i grew up chilling at home, doing homework, watching tv
that’s where i knew what i knew
from what i’ve seen on the screen
he told me “homie, just know, you’re unbelievably clean
“don’t stick your nose in aromas you ain’t prepared to endure
the air is toxic in corners you pass on your way to school
beware the homies that know you and think you’re down to be cruel
hope they take ‘no’ for an answer, i just hope you’re no a fool
i come from carnage in parts of places you never come back from
so i’m still there
no complacent just a matter of time till i end up there
i’m not scared, homie this is just life
it’s all these colors and opinions that keep starting these fights

(verse 2)
and i’m like
safe roads taken all of my life, never stole
you blame all that we’re living on mike and on trump
ignorance going on in my psyche
and these songs, only lord knows why i do like them
might take a life for them and get them tatted all on my skin
you mention kendrick, mention dre, all i can say is “amen”
i pledge allegiance to a life i never did comprehend
until i see it, then i hide, look for a hole to crawl in
what’s in this music is death is it murder or is it power?
can i use it to convince all these listeners that i’m harder?
or exclude it from the ears of a generation of learners
cover up the mistakes, death, power, and murder
