Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah
Straight out the hood, though
My **** out here fucked up
Weighing them bags and shit, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, **** sleeping on air mattresses and shit (Let me talk to 'em for a minute)
Harlem get the money, let's go
[Verse 2]
I won't break the code
Young **** tryin' not to die, we just pray that we get old
My **** is gone
If they was not in the field, I won't put they name in a song
I been in the zone
Calling my **** from jail, just praying they pick up the phone
Tried to get **** to come get it with mе, if they was too busy, I'll get it alone
Watch how you approach
Young **** drunk in a Ghost, I'm blеssed like I run with the Pope
If I'm on a yacht, got my gun on the boat
I'm not like you ****, ain't wanna be broke
When it got cold, I wanted a coat
My uncle was tripping, he wanted some dope
I'm tryna be the richest lil' **** you know
This paper get thrown, see who pick up the most
I was with killers, mama didn't know
This might be the realest shit I never wrote
I got it, just know it fit inside my coat
So many feelings spilling out my soul
Ran outta product, we was dealing soap
I'm just being modest, I could get it low
Don't care who the hottest, ****, this is Loc
Pull up in Prada, probably with your ho
[Verse 3]
Straight out the trenches, fresh off the benches
Slept with the tools, slept with the wrenches
Might have to tighten a **** up
Westside Madden Ave, what's up?
Dual pipes on the box Chevy
With them expired Georgia tags
If them lights get behind us
I'ma throw this ounce out and smash
All a **** seen is yellow tape
Shells underneath them cones
What they callin' a crime scene
10 feet from the school zone
By the time I copped that half
Went down to Memphis like a Bleek
Knew my Uncle Wade was dead
Grandma tried to tell me he was sleep
Pain was so real, it made me numb
Failing in school, they thought I was dumb
'Fore I got started, they thought I was done
Know I ain't two, so you know I'm the one
Now I trap out the mansion, yeah
[Verse 4]
Bitches didn't wanna holla at me when my Dickies were dirty as shit
You know what I'm sayin'?
Them **** 'round here fucked up
[Verse 5]
Now they calling me handsome
Kidnap that **** and call for the ransom
Two-stepping, I am not with the dancing
Only live once, so I'm taking these chances
I'ma do all that I gotta do
Go back to my hood, they say that we proud of you
Over the family, we gotta shoot
Carolina whip powder blue
**** never was providin', talking how they ridin'
Homie, I was ridin', too
In public housing, tried to violate
Me and Chetty talking 'bout we gotta move
Eviction notices, I got 'em too
Moving dolo, this was not a group
Knocking 2Pac and a lot of Snoop
Got the hang of this shit like I got a noose
[Verse 6]
I came straight out of prison
Came home and got right to business, remember the face of the witness
Some **** silent, some **** were snitching
I woke up in Prada, my closet is different
All of these diamonds they came from the district
I'm poppin' my collar, I feel like I'm pimpin'
My shit is custom, you rocking designer, it's different
****, my mind on a billion
Now it's just me and Loc
Remember I used to do Polo
I look so high in my photos
Belly getting tatted up like a cholo
I went to be seen and put on the go-go
I got your bitch on the low, though
When I met her she was dancing
Now she call a **** handsome
If I don't hit, she throw a tantrum
iPhone for the family, trapping off a Samsung
Kidnap your homie and call for the ransom
I hope y'all got it tonight
Already got money, already got jewelry
We slide then you gon' get robbed for your life
Look, I really came outside with 50 thousand in my pocket tonight
Another hundred thou' on ice
And this shit was not from a swipe
[Verse 7]
Now they calling me handsome
Kidnap that **** and call for the ransom
Two-stepping, I am not with the dancing
Only live once, so I'm taking these chances
I'ma do all that I gotta do
Go back to my hood, they say that we proud of you
Over the family, we gotta shoot
Carolina whip powder blue
**** never was providin', talking how they ridin'
Homie, I was ridin', too
In public housing, tried to violate
Me and Chetty talking 'bout we gotta move
Eviction notices, I got 'em too
Moving dolo, this was not a group
Knocking 2Pac and a lot of Snoop
Got the hang of this shit like I got a noose
[Verse 8]
Now they calling me handsome
Now they calling me handsome
Kidnap that **** and call for the ransom
Two-stepping, I am not with the dancing
Only live once, so I'm taking these–
Now they calling me handsome
Kidnap that **** and call for the ransom
Two-stepping, I am not with the–
Only live once, so I'm taking these–
Now they calling me– uh
Kidnap that **** and call for the ransom
Two-stepping, I am not with the da–
Only live once, so I'm taking these–
Now they calling me handsome
[Verse 9]
Now they calling me–
Now they calling me–
Now they calling me handsome
