Old To New-August Alsina-

-August-

This has been a bad week.

I cheated on audree with makayka

Mel got shot a month before my birthaday.

Mama put out the house

My music is running low.

I dont have nowhere to go.

Right now im at a burnt down house.

I sighed as i got uo and started walking the streets. I started singing stuff that came to mind

" Word got around that a nigga got shot
Heard a nigga drew down' and he bucked so his ass got popped
We was on my block trying to move these rocks
Trying to stack this cash on the low, gotta duck these cops
We was right off third and polock chilling in the back of the tracks
Niggas got packs, trying to get them racks
X5 I was riding in the back with the brother's' round kicking in the gat in my lap
17 had no dreams, drinking four loco's, Sprite and codeine
First class I was on lean, said fuck high-school, so I left Reed.

[Hook:]
No one told me life would be this way!
I swear nobody told me
Guess this is the game we chose to play
Crazy how it's always been the same!
People dying every day, that ain't nothing new
When you from downtown, downtown!
Out here tryna make a way
I won't let these niggas take me down-down, down!
(So I ride)
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
(So I ride)
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em

[Verse 2:]
Phone just RANG heard a nigga got got
He was over in the East last thing that he heard six shots
He ain't gettin' no love from the cops, nobody got caught
Real talk when I heard who it was, heart damn near stopped
Somebody done killed my brother, now I gotta get back
Let 'em know 'cause a nigga gotta feel that!
Sitting shotgun with the shot gun
When you hear the shots come, nigga don't run!
Already bad, it can only get worse
Hand full of steel 'cause the shit still hurts
Cut so deep when they put him in the hearse
Never saw 25, had to put him in the dirt.

[Hook:]
No one told me life would be this way!
I swear nobody told me
Guess this is the game we chose to play
Crazy how it's always been the same!
People dying every day, that ain't nothing new
When you from downtown, downtown!
Out here tryna make a way
I won't let these niggas take me down-down, down!
(So I ride)
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
(So I ride)
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em

[Verse 3:]
Once upon a time down town in the nine (9th ward)
Where they don't mind dying
Sworn to a life of crime, was a youngin' that only stood 5'5
Big money on his mind, clothes ain't wrinkled while his hands on his iron.
Shot six times right in front of my mom
Kind of 32, man, I'm lucky to survive
On a pac, juice real niggas don't die!
Bitch, I'm from Mazant slang crack on the same set
Blood stains at from a homie with his head cracked
O'Gs like A' wacks they've been doing this shit way back since A track.
And we yell where the gang at
You can get fame there from the way you're going to bang that
Shoot for the head watch how you aim that
Price on your head and we gon' take that
It's about to go down, you ain't about this then you better go now
Sun going down, keep it door down!
Everybody lay down. Ski mask down!
All you gonna see is my eyes and my frown
Last thing you hear is my gun going pow
It happens every day round my way
This ain't nothing new you grew up downtown.

[Hook:]
People dying every day, that ain't nothing new
When you from downtown, downtown!
I'm just trying to make a way,
I won't let these niggas take me down-down, down!
(So I ride)
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
(So I ride)
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em"

I wiped my tears

"August ? What are you doing out here"

I looked back and saw audree.

"Im sorry babeh"

She looked confused

"I cheated"

"Aug i dont care if you did ok. We gonna be together and going to go through thick and thin now come on"

She grabbed my hand.

Thats why i love her.

"Bye the way you should make that a hit"

"What ?"
"That song it should be called downtown"

I smiled and kissed her

"Good idea babeh"

She smiled and blushed.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUGGY POO"

Audree jumped on me

"Thank you babeh guh"

I sat up and kissed her lips.

"Eww august morning breathe"

I blew in her face and she hid in my neck

"August !!"

I laughed and got up with her in my lap.

Audree gasped "August!"

She wrapped her legs around me waist pulling her self up.

She looked down "august im scared, dont drop me your too tall for this. if i drop you drop.august hold me."

"Mama listen.i gotchu"

"Mhm you better"

I laughed and went downstairs.

"Wassup happy birthday yung"

"Thanks man."

Audree clung on to me and made me feed her,
"Girl gone somewhere"

She pouted and gave me puppy eyes.

I gave her the evil eye amd she stomped away.

I started eating,

"What happened to my bacon"

I acted like i was texting.

Brandon bust out laughing

BD:Yoo lmfaoo She dont know ?

Audree looked back again and Brandon took her toast.
