Flores Forbes Songtext
von Almighty

I have, uh, 18 years of experience that I can′t put on my resume
Well, uh, it was a very, um, personal, uh, beginning

I'm like Flores A. Forbes, sleep only in the morgue, yeah, uh-huh
I′m like Flores A. Forbes, sleep only in the morgue
Lost on my way to save the people, shells on the floor
This is the life we chose, heroes, yeah, we want more

I'm like Flores A. Forbes, gave my life to this war
Worried the jury won't understand when I place my hand and swore
This is the life we chose, heroes, yeah, we want more
Yeah, we want more

Damaged tour, crossed my thoughts, vigilante in store
Jungle fever, Paul Curson, revenge for the poor
Iron clad on the hip for sure, clips out poor
South Park, hammers and thor, the angel just gone
Dressed in all black, I′m takin′ back the souls that they had
To build a basin for the tears of Sadevius' dad
Some of my niggas on the run, like they anchor my path
Urban Iliad, block mythology, I think like a grad


PhD in painful pleas, from the yard to a scab
Murder was the case when they grant shots in the back
I′m like Flores A. Forbes, I'm trying to stop from slippin′
Selling ounces to the city council committee for a living
Live from the morgue, rob a bae, body guard shifty
Bronze man symbol in the sky, I got the city
Maceo Paz fittin', fit a shell into my victim
Tryna define Scott Nugent, put the fear of Barrett in him

Taser that shit to death, here we Newton, Morse and Liam
You watch my film, banana clips full of freedom
Illegitimate hustlers, I understand how you feelin′
Broken bricks won't turn land to solid building
Ulysses soul-liftin' placidos from straight spot children
City renegades prayin′ plays at the dope pavilion

I′m like Flores A. Forbes, sleep only in the morgue
Lost on my way to save the people, shells on the floor
This is the life we chose, heroes, yeah, we want more
I'm like Flores A. Forbes, gave my life to this war
Worried the jury won′t understand when I place my hand and swore
This is the life we chose, heroes, yeah, we want more

Shit ain't been the same since mom passed, my life trashed
Watching pain spread through my body just like the black flag
Time′s supposed to heal broken paths, not my aftermath
Questions like why, as my eyes face the sky
When you think of me, you picture tragedy in its worst state
War report, headlining, glued to the front gate
Enough to make a nigga go insane, a full rate


The city of the city, best known for renegades
Now how can I behave when the situation's failure?
Death like my parents raising me, real familiar
Corners that I been, we′re rugged, the attitudes fuckin' hated
'Cause they love it, love it because they hate it
My point hard to see, so bitch niggas don′t fade
Got a call early mornin′, my cousin got executed
Man behind the trigger, polluting, ain't through the shooting
Silence like the sound, faith holding me now
As my prayers goes up, I hope the blessings come down
As my prayers goes up, I hope the blessings come down

I′m like Flores A. Forbes, sleep when we in the morgue
Lost on my way to save the people, shells on the floor
And this is the life we chose, heroes, yeah, we want more

Man, this is kind of the culmination of a search
A little bit of me coming to grips with
And this is the life we chose, heroes, yeah, we want more
There was something that I did learn out of 18 years
I needed to explore that, I needed to put that down on paper
