Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This for the ones
(Never had none and never been bums)
Live by the gun
(Die by the gun, rise 'fore the sun)
Grind for the goals
(World for my girl, lies for the hoes)
Slide for the cross
(Ride for the cross, nine to your dome)
[Verse 2]
Warhol on the wall, ball till you fall
Never text, never call, I suggest you applaud
I'm the set's synagogue
Get blessed by the god
Don't get clapped on
Just a young, black man with a backbone
In a black Comme Homme, Comme Black on
In the Batmobile, black, no chrome, yeah
[Verse 3]
When Jabari died
Was off the porch for homicides
Then when Halfi died
I bought some things to pass the guys
But when Johnny died
All I had was shows booked
[Verse 4]
Down to burn in Hell
I don't care how my soul look
I know you gon' tell
I can tell by your froze look
But I love you still
Flaws and all, you my dawg
Put me behind bars
And all 'cause we came up at the Park
It's just crazy seein'
Everybody change when things get hard
[Verse 5]
We just lost somebody else
This weekend, no no
Think that I am jumpin' off
The deep end, yeah yeah
Nothin' out of somethin', now it's leavin'
Tryna find my peace of mind, it's fleetin'
[Verse 6]
I'm tweakin', I'm tweakin'
I'm tweakin', I'm tweakin'
I'm tweakin', I'm tweakin'
I'm tweakin', I'm tweakin'
[Verse 7]
Look at how far we done came
Now, I'm a face and a name
Just got a call 'bout my tweets
Told me to watch what I'm sayin'
Just got a call 'bout the streets
Told me to watch for a Jeep
Liberty lurkin' the East
They hoppin' out, ready to squeeze
[Verse 8]
**** emotional nowadays
Lyin', they hidin' they coward ways
Cryin' in court when they catch a case
Off of the porch in eleventh grade
Callin' her weak when my mama prayed
Prolly why none of my karma came
Just put the Benz in my mama name
(Family first like Hungarians)
[Verse 9]
Had me up in church at a young age
Should've had the **** at the gun range
Woulda been a lot more useful, shit
Who up in the pulpit, truthful shit
Rich or po, people gon' use this shit
Bight as well go and get used to it
Tryna get rich, get everybody fed
But everybody dead (Everybody dead)
[Verse 10]
We just lost somebody else
This weekend, no no
Think that I am jumpin' off
The deep end, yeah yeah
Nothin' out of somethin', now it's leavin'
Tryna find my peace of mind, it's fleetin'
[Verse 11]
I'm tweakin', I'm tweakin'
I'm tweakin', I'm tweakin'
I'm tweakin', I'm tweakin'
I'm tweakin', I'm tweakin'
[Verse 12]
(Look how far we came)
(Look how far we came)
Big Boy's Neighborhood that's "Tweakin'"
Right there, man
Y'all stick around, y'all radios right
Here in Big Boy's Neighborhood
