Bronx-ganistand (excerpt) By Carlos Peguero

Addiction is something that makes you want more Like if you saw your favorite candy and took three Addiction is something strong within me But not for drugs like the neighborhood fiends The shit I’m addicted to is the green Slim, fragile, paper thin and with invisible value But something so valuable it could change you See I’m not like these other dudes where money make you switch-n-flip Not these dudes that get green and decide to act like a d**k Nah that ain’t me, I let it accumulate but never change me This money got me swerving looking sickly Been doing this shit since before musical.ly But no matter what the money will never change me You see, the money I chase But my heart stays in the same place Not to be changed by a piece of paper that has enslaved the human race This is Bronx-ganistand where shit get real It’s either drill and get paper or end up at the bottom of someone’s heel.
