2 years since my Grandpa Sunny met his sunset
I was out in Mexico poolside keeping my feet wet
Came back for the funeral seen a nug in his casket
Hours later me and my cousins smoking and laughing
Rarely do I use for pleasure, drink more when I'm under pressure
Lately I've been working on it, tryna keep my shit together
Not really addiction, it's a problem I can fix it
Watch me smile all picture perfect cracking jokes like nothing hurts
I got your vices in my DNA
I got your vices in my DNA, yeah I checked
I bet my life that we won't be the same
I bet my life that we won't be the same, yeah I bet
I been working all week, I get home and can't sleep
If it's not an early morning I wake up and can't eat
Work ethic way strong, motivation mad weak
Man my body at its limit but I know I can't tweak
Different moods for dark days, different gigs the same fee
Skin like coal when under pressure, cause these diamonds ain't cheap
I been feeling lonely lately, haven't seen my family
Take a visit, go to see 'em they don't understand me
When I walk over bridges rails looking like lines of scrimmage
I crank my headphones to max screaming lyrics to block the image
That's my body dropping Gardiner traffic isn't stopping
Crush a car hood to my coffin but I choose the better option
Jane and Dundas Carvela said I'm not allowed to die
Never thought I'd see the day one of my students saved my life
By the time you're hearing this your favourite Scribe will have a wife
Pain is dark as winter nights I'm tryna live to see the light
Men that came before me weren't monogamous, vows were
Broken promises sometimes marriage scares me task is ominous
Friend requests with same last names but they anonymous
I'm praying from my blood that I'm autonomous
I got your vices in my DNA
I got your vices in my DNA, yeah I checked
I bet my life that we won't be the same
I bet my life that we won't be the same, yeah I bet
The city way too hot this summer, bullets rain like
Beads of sweat it's like a Oprah giveaway this summer
You caught a body, he'll catch a body they'll
Cop a shotty let it bang and ain't nobody sorry
Streets caught amnesia ain't nobody knuckle up
Tucking tails between they legs and let that anger bubble up
They be Egging on his temper he a Bronco he go buck
He gon' pack a strap that's gonna sonic boom soon as he bust
You got rage like Ozaru wanna brawl like Tekken two
Takes back to when disrespect made me go gorilla too
You want don respect with the temperament of a yute
I don't blame you at all when cops wanna move like abusive dukes
Racist media and mayor gon' treat our dead like they pawns
Never forget when cops put they hands on the homie John
Removing supervision for all the times they do wrong
Removing programs and then placing blame on our songs
They see drugs and the dealings
Shootings stabbings and killings
Leave it to the masses they gon' paint us all as villains
Even when the victims is children they blame civilians
Gentrifying neighbourhoods to buy us out the buildings
But we more than that, more then hammers set to clap
We the northern renaissance that put the city on the map
They try to dash us 'weh we here to stay Father I pray
You help us heal while you reveal these wicked ways
Fam hear me say
I got your vices in my DNA
I got your vices in my DNA, yeah I checked
I bet my life that we won't be the same
I bet my life that we won't be the same, yeah I bet
