Left Hollywood

Too long

I had to get out of Hollywood

Get back to the trenches

They said they need me

Lil' fish

Uh, I used to cop my little reggie tryna feed myself

My cousin had that work, but I ain't need no help

Man, I was so fucked up, I couldn't believe myself

That's why I be at the jeweler tryna freeze myself

'Cause my heart so cold, we ain't got no goals

All these young **** killin' like they ain't got no souls

Talkin' Grand Marquis, before I cop my Rolls

It was all so sweet until Dashawn told

Really hurt my heart, ripped my feelings apart

Out in Philly it's dark, we was really so scarred

But actin' silly so hard, but we just wanted some love

Mama workin', daddy dead, I just wanted a hug

Why you think we spillin' spade when we go to the club?

All my homies think I smoke, we just rollin' it up

I'm stressed out, **** got Jordans, feel left out

So I went to chasin' them birdies, I went south, fuck it

I went from goin' to school, to totin' them tools, and makin' the moves

I said I would win, they said I would lose, shit

We're so confused, hope I don't make the news, oh, Lord

We was breakin' the rules, trappin' to get some food

Riskin' freedom for shoes

Knowin' that I don't need 'em, I'm spending money on jewels

Jeweler like, he a fool, they told us that this was cool

Uh, caught my first case, it was me versus the state

I just wanted some steak and some food on my plate (I'm hungry)

Came up from shit, I'm like, how can you hate?

I'm just tryna be great, I survive with the snakes (In the jungle)

Look what they did to Lil' Kodak and Gates (You see it)

I can't lose faith, (No) I just want shine like the stars in my Wraith

We go to war in fatigues like it's BAPE (Brrt)

I don't feel safe, (No) can't sleep without it (Can't sleep)

Master with them Ps, yeah boy, I'm 'bout it, 'bout it ('Bout it)

Brought me to my knees back when everybody doubted (Yeah)

Can't let my youngin's see me fold, I'm too solid

If I stand on it (Stand on it) I'ma stand on it (Stand on it)

Put some bags on the scale, put some grams on it (Grams on it)

This the only shit I knew, I see my man doin' it (My man doin' it)

Tryna be like **** that was never there for us

We ain't have no guidance

I went from goin' to school, to totin' them tools, and makin' the moves

I said I would win, they said I would lose, shit

We're so confused, hope I don't make the news, oh, Lord

We was breakin' the rules, trappin' to get some food

Riskin' freedom for shoes

Knowin' that I don't need 'em, I'm spending money on jewels

Jeweler like, he a fool, they told us that this was cool

Coppers scoopin' **** out their radar (Radar)

**** puttin' **** in the graveyard (Graveyard)

Jobs told us beat it like an A&R

So we play with heart, fuck it, we gon' play it raw (Fuck it)

Cut the lights, told my Mama they ain't stayin' off (They ain't)

They killed my daddy and it turned me to a man, dog (It did)

We playin' with Rugers, play with Glocks, we ain't playin' ball (Brrt)

Shit, we tryna stay alive it's a standoff (For real)

My life for your life (Your life)

Go to war like, we got like four lives

Talkin' before like, all this lil' rap shit

Where I'm from if you turn eighteen, then that's like more life

For real, ****

When you have no voice

Ain't nobody hear us, so we ain't have no choice

I went from goin' to school, to totin' them tools, and makin' the moves

I said I would win, they said I would lose, shit

We're so confused, hope I don't make the news, oh, Lord

We was breakin' the rules, trappin' to get some food

Riskin' freedom for shoes

Knowin' that I don't need 'em, I'm spending money on jewels

Jeweler like, he a fool, they told us that this was cool
