## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro]

Ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah

La, la

Ah, ah, ah

[Verse]

Walkin' with my back to the sun, keep my head to the sky

Me against the world, it's me, myself and I, like De La

Got in touch with my soul

Treadin' softly on the path down the rockiest road

Life isn't ice cream without Monopoly dough

The property grows in value, and rightfully so, I gotta have it

I see the way the people get treated, it's problematic

They ready to set us up for failure, it's systematic

But when I felt it, my eyes melted

The selfish are constantly profitin' off the helpless

I'll never do my team green, make the team green like the Celtics

The ones that ain't makin' it overzealous, they show and tell us

Throughout history, earnin' cheddar

They form and break out nickel-plated chrome Berettas

The same ol' story in a whole different era

I'm watchin' massacres turn to runnin' mascara, but anywho

For the pain, see what this Henny do

So we can see what lies beneath as we pour up a swig of truth

The sun sets as I sip a few

The sky turns a different hue farther from the color blue

The nighttime has arrived, I recline for the evenin'

I'm hawkin' down the next goal, the name's ain't Stephen

I started in a nightmare so pinch me, I'm dreamin'

I'm killin' off my demons 'cause my soul's worth redeemin'

[Break]

Ah, ah (Yeah, yeah)

Ah, ah, ah (As I toke my cigarettes, which I don't even smoke)

La, la (Walkin' on this dirty-ass road)

Ah, ah, ah (Yeah)

[Chorus]

Clear a path as I keep on walkin', ain't no stoppin'

In this dirty, filthy, rotten, nasty little world we call our home

They get blickies poppin', ain't no options for my partners

So they resort to scams and robbin'

Take away stress, we ganja coppin'

Blow it all out, it's all forgotten

Keep on walkin', ain't no stoppin'

In this dirty, filthy, rotten, nasty little world we call our home

They get blickies poppin', ain't no options for my partners

So they resort to scams and robbin'

Take away stress, we ganja coppin'

Blow it all out, it's all forgotten

[Verse]

Walkin' with my back against the sun

I been runnin' all my life, that's way before my life begun

Since my birth and seconds on Earth, I been the first one to confront

All of these cycles that get recycled, makin' it stifle while I stunt

Roll me a blunt so I forget it

But it make the details look so vivid (So vivid)

Went through a lot of shit in the last year (Uh-huh)

Then I said, "Fuck it, I'ma handle my business" (Yeah, yeah)

I been 180 to talk to one lady

She been regulatin' on how I feel (Feel)

Describe it as raw and real (Real)

I'm dealin' with all the ills

I'm tearin' up like I'm on Dr. Phil (Cry)

Ain't no use, you gotta walk (Walk)

Ain't no use, you gotta walk (Walk)

Who the fuck said, "Stop the track," bruh? Let a real n\*\*\*a talk (Yeah)

I walk from the bitches, I walk from the friendship

I walk from some digits, 'cause lately, my n\*\*\*a, I'm feelin' indifferent (Uh)

I wish y'all the best, and believe that, I meant it (Huh?)

Sentence, run-on sentence (Sentence)

Pray to God for repentance (For repentance)

Beat the odds at all costs so I won't share it with my infant (My infant)

Way before he start crawlin' (Crawlin')

Wash my sins, keep ballin' (Ballin')

I just gotta stay focused (Focused)

I just gotta keep walkin'

[Chorus]

Keep on walkin', ain't no stoppin'

In this dirty, filthy, rotten, nasty little world we call our home

They get blickies poppin', ain't no options for my partners

So they resort to scams and robbin'

Take away stress, we ganja coppin'

Blow it all out, it's all forgotten

Keep on walkin', ain't no stoppin'

In this dirty, filthy, rotten, nasty little world we call our home

They get blickies poppin', ain't no options for my partners

So they resort to scams and robbin'

Take away stress, we ganja coppin'

Blow it all out, it's all forgotten

[Outro]

This is a Zel Kurosawa film (Walk, walk, walk, walk)

Directed, written, and starred by (Walk, walk, walk, walk)

The one and only (Walk, walk, walk, walk)

Zeltron (Walk, walk, walk, walk)

Bullshit fly my way, I keep walkin' (Walk, walk, walk, walk)

Bullshit fly my way, I keep walkin' (Walk, walk, walk, walk)

Know what I mean? (Walk, walk, walk, walk)

It's a new millennium (Walk, walk, walk, walk)

I have no eyes, they melt my eyes

They melt my eyes
