Bricks and Sponsorships
Jahan Nostra
GENRE
[Intro]
Uh, yeah, ah
You ever dance with the devil?
You know what I'm saying?
Nostra! Yeah
[Verse 1: Jahan Nostra]
We had bricks
They all had scholarships
Sam picked me up in a base heads whip
For all my dogs Keeping y'all in health
What can I do
When they don't spread the wealth
It goes chop chop my n****
Chop chop
It's real simple math
When the ships hit the dock
Butterflies is all in my abdomen
Cause even Nostra did some dibbling dabbling
I used to take the train to the Bronx
Get what I needed and then get croissants
See what I needed up in the car lots
See all my peers
Thеy all own pots
And if I got it I get it
I pick it up
If I see the same pig as last week
Switch it up
Mastеr of espionage
Nowadays online the feds you can't dodge
Chop chop my n**** Chop chop
To make ends meet homeboy I gotta plot
As soon as I get my connect
I'll be hot
Got a pookie next door my G
He Chris Rock
[Chorus: Jahan Nostra]
We had bricks They all had scholarships
Everyone's goal is to get a sponsorship
We had bricks They all had scholarships
Everyone's goal is to get a sponsorship
[Verse 2: Jahan Nostra]
Uh chop chop
New shot new wave
I got my weight up homeboy
It's a new game
Gunshots I'm above that
And when I'm handing out turkeys
They love that
La Madrina Cocaína
Cheating Paul Just to pay Peter
I used to be your average everyday
But now I'm a King Pen at the top getting paid
And if you wanna connect
Be in the know
Cause every now and again
I’ll just say no
The love's gonna get me
And n****'s trying to split me
Cause me and my team
Got the certified with me
Success creates so many frenemies
I don't know who to trust
In this great inner sea
But I can guarantee I'll be a pillar
And it's an insult if you call me a dealer
I'm just a real man that made it
Versace belts is gold plated
I never ever thought I was slick
Till my cousin broke under pressure
Gave him a tip, Uh
I never ever thought I was slick
Until the feds got the info
And now I'm hit
[Chorus: Jahan Nostra]
We had bricks
They all had scholarships
Everyone's goal is to get a sponsorship
[Verse 3: Jahan Nostra]
Damn how's this my en route
Locked feet locked hands
Orange jumpsuit
License plate made
And the food sucks
Eight squares in my pockets for two bucks
Damn I shouldn't a trust(ed) that snitch
Would think about it but he done
He a b****
Man I should've listened to my mom
But I had to get it while it was on
[Chorus: Jahan Nostra]
We had bricks
They all had scholarships
Now I kinda wish that I had a sponsorship
[Verse 4: Jahan Nostra]
But when you're in the code
Man you gotta hono(u)r it
I live by the code
Man I gotta hono(u)r it
I wish I could touch my daughter
Get the wisdom advice from my father
But I gotta live with it, it’s my karma
But the cell keeps me away from drama
I feel so locked in this beast
I feel so locked in this beast
Regrets in these walls so unique
Regrets in these walls so unique
Homies don't write much
Inmates is hating
Talking to the warden is like
Talking to Satan
Anger's building up
They took away education
Solitary confinement
Isolation
My mind needs a retreat
Sometimes I gotta rethink
My mind needs a retreat
I'm turning over new leafs
Now I'm praying more gracious
I'm no longer an atheist
Read more books than my whole life
All my wrongs trying to make right
[Chorus: Jahan Nostra]
We had bricks
They all had scholarships
Now I kinda wish that I had a sponsorship
We had bricks
They all had scholarships
Now I kinda wish that I had a sponsorship
We had bricks
We all had bricks
We had bricks
We all had bricks
We had bricks
They all had scholarships
Now I kinda wish that I had a sponsorship
[Outro]
[DP]
Today we incarcerate more people per capita than any other country in the world. We have more Black men in prison today than were under slavery in 1850. We house the parents of almost three million of our community's children, and we've become the new asylum, the largest mental health provider in this nation. When we lock someone up, that is no small thing. And yet, we are called the Department of Corrections
[Jahan Nostra]
We had bricks. They all had scholarships. Everyone's goal is to get a sponsorship. We had bricks. They all had scholarships. Everyone's goal is to get a sponsorship
[DP]
When we change the way we think, we create new possibilities, or futures, and prisons need a different future
