Roaches

Remember roaches in my ashtray and roaches in my cereal

Airforce knockoffs with the Gucci print material

Way before the iPhones, Twitter, 'Gram socials

I'm talkin' 'bout Nextel, Chirps and Boost Mobile

Back when a face tat was for OG killers

Now I'm seein' tear drops on you Soundcloud ****

Remember back when music had content and metaphors

Way before the mumble nonsense and poppin' handlebars

All these rappers junkies, talkin' like they dope dealers

One song, a scammer, the next song, they killers

First time I shot the gun, the neighbors called the people

I was watchin' twelve, search for shells like Easter

That's around the time they shot my daddy for the Rollie

Round the same time AI lost to Kobe

Platinum FUBU summers, rockin' Iceberg in the winter

Gold back headbands and those Sprewell Spinners

Fucking up computers using Limewire, BearShare

Bootlegging, boosting, selling CD's at the daycare

Saving up gwala, bean bag for my stash spot

Mama still ask me how the fuck I get that Xbox

Round the first time I saw my uncle smoking crack rock

In the Flintstones, smoking pebbles like it's bedrock

Round the same time my pops was scamming on that laptop

Still remember when my uncle Sidney took that headshot

I was tryna get those Jordan seventeen dead stock

Used to hoop dream, pushing rock on the blacktop

Started home invading, kicking combination padlocks

Putting crack rock in the figure four leg lock

I was hella young, watching Triple H and Ric Flair

Bust my head open play fighting with a steal chair

Tryna be a wrestler almost put me in a wheelchair

Thankful for that medicare welfare, hell yeah

Remember roaches in my ashtray and roaches in my cereal

Airforce knockoffs with the Gucci print material

Way before the iPhones, Twitter, 'Gram socials

I'm talkin' 'bout Nextel, Chirps and Boost Mobile

Back when a face tat was for OG killers

Now I'm seein' tear drops on you Soundcloud ****

Remember back when music had content and metaphors

Way before the mumble nonsense and poppin' handlebars

Nowadays I can't even walk in the store

Without these crazy ass fans and boppin' ass hoes

Back in '04 a ho said I wouldn't blow

Now every show I go, three or four give me dome

I was up in Vegas at the Mayweather party

Then my mama called me about Hurricane Harvey

Said the house got flooded, water covered up the sofa

Impala, Range Rover, she need me to come over

Nowhere near sober, it was fucking up my night

Like, they gon' be alright, tomorrow book a flight

Book a, forty missed calls, she was calling all night

Said there's no more food and lights and she been fighting for her life

Told Toby, book the plane, I gotta be there by tonight

But all this hurricane rain made the airport cancel flights

I'm like, what the fuck, how? I'm thinking like, wow

Praying that she don't drown, dear Lord, just get her out

She worked her life to move the family out the hood

Just to lose everything she had in a flood

Donald Trump and Red Cross acting like some hoes

People drowning in they homes 'cause they couldn't get a boat

Pops got a bad heart, last year he had a stroke

In his bed, off meds, couldn't swim, sink or float

On the roof for three days before rescued by FEMA

Twelve years later, same day as Katrina

If you was in my shoes, you would probably be stressing

But sometimes, God, He will bless you with tension

Every day I say my grace because I coulda lost my people

I still got cases, me and my brothers fighting RICO

Six hundred K for the bail bonds people

Another hundred K, I pray my lawyer got the cheat code

Organized crime, dope and money launder

Five to ninety nine and that's the only offer

My big boy pumpkin

Maxo Kream

I remember when you were a little boy

You used to tell me, rock me to sleep

You were, you know

Every time you said, you said

Daddy, rock me to sleep

Rock you to sleep

I used to rock you to sleep

And you, you know

You've always been a picky boy

Pumpkin, pull your pants up, boy

But you know what, pumpkin, I'm so proud of you

You came a long way

Keep it up with your music

You're doing good, keep doing you
