lyrics

stepping off the plane in some jeans
and some slippers
i'm big boy now
my momma know me lean
in them pictures
she picked me up
said this shit is like a dream
if you wish it
cause in america
you work and you achieve
cause you risked it
but i was looking out the window
staring at my new city scape
miss me with your mother fuckin pitty
i'm get me cake
mommas a deserver
in hell flippin burgers
but they had me in the bush
at 12 committing murders
But it didn’t take long
before i called it my town
accent thick, still i wanted my crown
i found
a crew of some niggas life bound
momma told me go to school
but i told her pipe down
don't dare hypothesize
ain't nothing bout it is a mystery
i'm acting out on trauma
cause of all the shit they did to me
kids will get hurt
if they thinking they deserve credit
i'm moving the work
all with a immigrant work ethic

3 bad years we were all at war
4 bad broads when we pulled that score
5 birds sold but i still want more
by 6 in the morning feds were at my door
(fuck)

Got a Square of the weight
and i'm scared, but im straight
and prepared to go lodge a bullet
square in your face
fuck the jake
ducking sirens when we hear it again
the hood is hot
cause clinton let all these liberians in
in my crew i'm the wild one
homie will bloody kill you
some rebels taught me to shoot it better
than buddy hield do
scaring the ops
teacher's like where is my pops
voices in my head a night
i hear it alot
i'm wearing my colors
do shit that embarrass my mother
i got choices but i'm dirty
so i stare and i wonder
no parent should live in a house
where they be scared of their kid
don't go for help
cause therapy is some american shit
smoking the wet, daily
ready to do a shottas
niggas praying to jesus
before we go shoot the block up
who can stops
nobody, i do just what you think i might
they know i'm cold blooded
but i cry myself to sleep at night
and i can't really read or write
but pistol grips i squeeze it tight
apartment got on furniture
but at the club, you see the ice
this is how it goes down till my head drops
and I'm in a box,
or the mother fuckin feds knock
