Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Troubled tears, they'll land you here
Open your eyes, it's all a disguise
The fear that you feel is not real, not real
The fear that you feel is not real, no
It's not real, yeah
Similar skies, similar ties
But I know all about you, I do
[Verse 2]
Look, the saddest story come from those who once had the glory
Had the forei's, diamond watches, and the baddest shorties
Now they in their latter forties, bunch of kids, scattered shorties
No respect from the neglect, they call they daddy Corey
I'm from a different cloth, that ain't the pattern for me
There's levels to this shit, it's different categories
Can't be like these **** out here lookin' fat and gaudy
They ain't never won no rings, but be mad at Horry
Talkin' 'bout, "Man, that **** don't deserve that shit"
Like, I was really in these streets, I used to serve that shit
We started from the bottom, had to topsy turn that shit
Get it while the gettin's good, after that, preserve that shit
My ex text me last night, but I curved that shit
Coulda end up hittin' that, be too late to swerve that shit
That's a young mistake, Lord knows I made me some
I love gettin' brain, that never made me dumb
All that did was made me cum, swear these hoes made me numb
Only feelings toward this bitch, you been shoulda gave me some
[Verse 3]
I knew some **** who had bread, never gave me crumbs
Drank the whole fuckin' juice and never saved me some
I know how young **** feel, I had to live through shit
See the world as constipated, nobody gon' give you shit
I learned that **** gon' be ****, yeah, we shouldn't do it
But hoes gon' be hoes, they just ain't admittin' to it
Where I been? Gettin' to it, goin' through it, and gettin' through it
Runnin' round killin' shit, tellin' cops I didn't do it
That's why they call me young OG
And I'ma spit this dope shit until my tongue OD
I flew my shorty here from Cali and she brung OG
She got me chillin' in my city, but my lungs OT, yeah
And fuck them **** online, reply, why?
Broke **** talkin' 'cause it's free Wi-Fi, yeah
[Verse 4]
Troubled tears, they'll land you here
Open your eyes, it's all a disguise
The fear that you feel is not real, not real
The fear that you feel is not real, no
Similar skies, similar ties
But I know all about you, I do
[Verse 5]
My son gon' be a king, I tell him every mornin'
I put my chain on his neck, right now it's heavy on him
One day it all will be his, so I'm forever on him
I test him all the time and I never warn him
I pop quiz him, like stop, listen, and drop wisdom
Pop's vision, the bottom's crowded, the top isn't
We talk guap, missions, cops, prison
I help him see it clearly, I'm his life optician
Could learn from my experience, but youngin' gotta live
Just not with that mentality that somethin' gotta give
'Cause that's how we grew up
Probably should've picked for boogers
Nah, we was on them streets, juugin' for that mugger
Still, scared that you still could get killed
That fear that you feel was that real
But I'm there like, "I will not get killed"
So that fear that I feel is not real, boy
[Verse 6]
I'm a true king, tryna raise a new king
I wanna show him stuff, teach him how to do things
How to ride a bike, how to tie his shoe strings
How to be a man, how to treat his boo thing
Gotta have the OG, give you that go ahead
I don't blame you ****, I blame your old head
I know all about that, my papa wasn't down
Papa used to come through, Papa doesn't now
Shoulda protected me, but papa wasn't round
So now I got this 9 that pop a dozen round
Them kids grow up quick, usually grow you up too
Turn you to a big dog, that's what havin' pups do
Did a lot, but I know that I ain't done yet
Before it goes down, I'll make sure that my son set
You made me so strong, you made this whole song
You made me Young OG, love you Johan
[Verse 7]
Troubled tears, they'll land you here
Open your eyes, it's all a disguise
The fear that you feel is not real, not real
The fear that you feel is not real, no
Similar skies, similar ties
But I know all about you, I do, I do
[Verse 8]
Oh, you'll give us what we need
It may not be what we want
