"Evergreen" lyrics
I moved to this block when I was about thirteen, fourteen
Feel like I've been stayin' there all my life, you know what I'm sayin'?
This where I witnessed a lot of
Shootouts at three in the mornin', you better hit the floor (For real)
Knock-knock, the police knockin' at a nigga door (What he want?)
What he want? I don't know, he askin' for Quelo (Damn)
Said, "If he ain't come out now, your granny gotta go" (Oh, for real?)
Evergreen, better known as Desi Block (Desi Block)
We named it that after my homeboy got shot (After Big Desi)
Seen bases get served rock and Glocks get popped (Nah, for real)
Them crackers pointin' rifles, left me in a state of shock (Nah, for real)
I went from a boy to a man on them same streets (On them same streets)
So blame Evergreen if you say I changed, B (For real)
Sometimes the sun don't even shine over this way (Nah)
Sometimes I wish I could rewind and press play (Press play)
Evergreen, oh, Evergreen
Evergreen, Evergreen
Ooh, Evergreen, Evergreen
Ooh, Evergreen, Evergreen
Ooh, Evergreen
We just wanna make it out on Evergreen
We just wanna see the top on Evergreen
And you might see a bunch of cops on Evergreen
And you might hear a bunch of shots on Evergreen
Evergreen, Ever'
Know all them bases name by heart, he like family now (He like Family)
Before granny died she said, "Don't let the fam' just die" (My granny)
I shed so many tears on this street here (For real)
My brother hustled so many years on this street here (Nah, for real)
What you know about wakin' up in the middle of the night?
Sleep in the spot, next door I seen so much white (So much white)
Now it's a bando and that's where we gon' chill at (For real)
If it was open they probaly would made a mill there (That check)
It was nights I couldn't sleep, hungry but couldn't eat (For real)
Tried to talk but couldn't speak, seen niggas tryna creep (Damn)
Them late nights on the block and we was so deep (For real)
Niggas down the corner couldn't come down this street (No)
Evergreen, oh, Evergreen
Evergreen, Evergreen
Ooh, Evergreen, Evergreen
Ooh, Evergreen, Evergreen
Ooh, Evergreen
We just wanna make it out on Evergreen
We just wanna see the top on Evergreen
And you might see a bunch of cops on Evergreen
And you might hear a bunch of shots on Evergreen
Evergreen, Ever'
Feel like I've been stayin' there all my life, you know what I'm sayin'?
This where I witnessed a lot of
Shootouts at three in the mornin', you better hit the floor (For real)
Knock-knock, the police knockin' at a nigga door (What he want?)
What he want? I don't know, he askin' for Quelo (Damn)
