Cellus Hamilton - East of Eden

East of Eden

Written by: Cellus Hamilton

Produced by: Rozart




VERSE:
I'm like 4 bottles in...I feel my head spinning



Got a tube sock full of cash from all this bread winning



Phone ring I ain't picking up

It's a thin line for my love and the shorty ain't thick enough so I'm gone



Responsibilities leave me lone

She a alto. Steady singing me sad songs. This ain't yo outro



Mothers turned into fathers before this gender dealing



Lifetime tv run marathons of these bastard children


BRIDGE:

I took a road trip to the East to pick my "pieces" up!



Detoured through the hood and threw my peaces up



Made a home here it's bitter sweet but uhh



Gotta make a move like the lease is up



VERSE:

I'm Grateful that my Patnas in the east let me hold sumthin


So I keep this heater. Heard it's gone be a cold summer



Supposed to be in church but please do not tell my grandmother



That don't last. Life went fast. I was broke like glass



And that bucket that they passin ain't goin to me



You can keep yo two cents. But they don't mean that when it come to money tho



Ima keep it hunned tho

Flip it and stack a hunned mo



See we came from the west side



Where the best ride before they reach 25



I'm grateful to be alive



When I die, never suicide



They gone have to strip my soul away



It's Death before dishonor like the soldier say



I live by soldier words

But I don't war that way



You can learn a lot from studying my lineage

We was masters never slaves to no opinions



We owned the land and everything in it

No need in it

Really was princes and kings in it



VERSE:

Ever since that day

I repeat, I repeat, I repeat, I repeat the cycle



Tryna get where I can be, I can be, I can be right by you



There goes my effort. My human effort

Tryna piece it together

Lord knows I'm desperate it's sad lowkey depressin



See my fumblin hands

Missed opportunities but still a catch a body and scram

A character just like I'm Tommy or Pam on Martin

I change my face to match the role that I'm in like Martin



BRIDGE:

I took a road trip to the East to pick my "pieces" up!

Made a home here it's bitter sweet but uhh



Gotta make a move like the lease is up



VERSE:

Holy Spirit told me

Cellus you should give em the context

East of Eden ain't a place

It's more of a mindset

Ever since Adam and Eve

We been deceived

Missing the essence...

Sewing fig leaves together

Steady fleein the presence
