Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, Sparks in here
The Truth in here, yeah
Yeah, witness the tales of a hustler, ****
You know
This just the life we lease
This the life we lead
Yeah, tales
Gangster, gangster
Yes, Lord, yeah
Keep it coming, come on
[Verse 2]
Yo, Omillio Sparks, the young gun
My life as a adolescent, said I'll goes and do something
Other guys try to stand in my way like brick walls
So I kept guns in the palm, Messiah scripts from psalm
I should fear no man but God
So Lord knows we could get it on
Guns baptize guys, testing my pride
Clearing my conscience in the liquor store
With a fifth of Thunderbird and I be guzzling hard
Playing the corners with a washed-up old head
Chant tunes by The Whispers
Same corner where I banged out with ****
Cops drive by and grin on us
If they grab us then
One of them nosy neighbors done snitched on us
Hey, this game juicy got me puffing loosies
Every two days, interrogated by the police
See, this life I live cost more than your Rollies money
It cost my homie Nook his whole life, you heard me?
[Verse 3]
When he was here, it was easy to love him like a brother
Now that he's gone, I find it difficult to talk to his mother
I mean, what do you say to a woman
That just lost her only son to the game and the gun
Except, mami, I'ma ride for him
The look that she gave me like, Sparks, you got some nerve
'Cause most of these **** don't keep their words
Now I'm under pressure
'Cause I can't break that type of promise, and y'all **** paint that picture
Risking your freedom on the strength of memories of him
The time he made you laugh, the time he bust his gat
When other **** ran
How real is that?
Omillio Sparks, ****, holler back
[Verse 4]
Tales of a hustler
[Verse 5]
Yo, in this life you're not promised tomorrow
So take the bitter with the sweet and maintain
In these vicious streets, carry your heat
And keep your mind on your money
Life's a gamble, everybody got a number, homie
Tales of a hustler
In this life, you're not promised tomorrow
So take the bitter with the sweet and maintain
In these vicious streets, carry your heat
And keep your mind on your money
Life's a gamble, everybody got a number, homie
Tales of a hustler
[Verse 6]
I'm back to the blocks with it
Wait, let me clear that up
I'm back to them blocks that you get when your block get it
Get hard when that hot water and that pot hit it
Get large with a little water when you pop, whip it
I send hope to you late night scramblers
Sling coke to you late night scramblers
Go broke, sling soap to you late night scramblers
No joke, I'm a crook
Catch hooks broke, late night gamblers
Look, you lose limbs when you fuck with him
That be, I strapped and high
FBI all on my back, wanna trap the guy
Got **** in all black, want to snatch my pies
[Verse 7]
Never that, too many gats
Too many guns, too many vests
Tough guys, not too many left
Where they at?
Dead gone, locked behind bars in jail
I know I ain't too far from Hell
I'll spit the Devil these bars in Hell
Dawg, I've been through it, son, look at my scars and tell
Catch MAC in the chevy truck slightly tinted
No excuses on who might be in it
You know, passenger side, twist some Backwood's
Slightly spinning
Crack the window, the indo slightly scented
Splash of haze and hash, lightly blended
Put the pressure on **** who might be timid
Like, you got like a minute
To put the cash in this bag or your ass just might be in it
In small pieces, snatch for family up
I start from your tall nephews to small nieces, bitches
[Verse 8]
In this life, you're not promised tomorrow
So take the bitter with the sweet and maintain
In these vicious streets, carry your heat
And keep your mind on your money
Life's a gamble, everybody got a number, homie
Tales of a hustler
In this life, you're not promised tomorrow
So take the bitter with the sweet and maintain
In these vicious streets, carry your heat
And keep your mind on your money
Life's a gamble, everybody got a number, homie
Tales of a hustler
Yeah
