From the Heart - Dave East, Sevyn Streeter

Attica, Clinton

All my niggas downstate Coxsackie

My boy Murder doing the pound cake, five years

All my life, I’ve been around tears

Never timid around niggas that sound scared

Green haven, free Ra he up in Lake View

Hating me cause I’m working, you come home they gon' hate you

We was in the club drinking Henny by the gallon

Next morning found out Scrappy on the Island

Doe mom’s called me like we gotta go visit

Charlie calling collect, let’s just send him some pictures

Your commissary’ll never be short, your son good

It really don’t matter, whatever get bought

That’s on my life

Sending my love to you

Praying that you come home (Inshallah)

Until the day you do (uh)

I’ll be sending my love

Sending my love to you

Praying that you come home (Inshallah)

Until the day you do (uh)

I’ll be sending my love

Imagine your whole block get indicted

Never thinking that for your freedom you will be fighting

You was only focused on getting back by the nights and

If he ain’t had the time you was robbing him for his Brightling

Robbing them for they Cuban or anything they was moving

You caught a hot one last summer, you still grooving

Home invasions, living rooms you been intruding

Your mother gave you everything, you shoulda been a student

Shoulda went to college, experience is the best teacher

Never listened, you shoulda took in that knowledge

Learned how to watch for grimy niggas like Knxwledge

Who am I to judge?

I got knocked for a couple dollars

I’m just sending my love in case I miss your call

You would hold me down, whether the problem was big or small

And then you come home, they probably find us in the mall

I’m bout to have a daughter, I’ll let you know when she getting tall

I love you

Hold your head

Don’t forget

I be thinking about you every day

Counting down the days

Till I see your face

And you know we celebrate it

Sending my love to you

Praying that you come home

Until the day you do

I’ll be sending my love

Sending my love to you

Praying that you come home

Until the day you do

I’ll be sending my love
