Lyrics
Started on a mountain bike, switching gears, ****
Ask how long it took me, it took years, ****
Funerals and wakes, I face my fears, ****
Just staying far away from all these weird ****
I was raised to be a soldier, ain't no tears, ****
Wipe 'em off your face and hit your square, ****
I told 'em it would happen, I prepared ****
Let's try to make a million dollars, shit, I dared ****
I had to wait in line, I ain't have CLEAR, ****
TSA could smell that East Co. on my beard, ****
Once in a lifetime, I'm such a rare ****
Come, look at what I seen, I'm tryna share my vision
Come, chill around some **** that done really lived it
Once you really round some money, you gon' feel that difference
State to state, we really traveled tryna make 'em feel us
The shit we did gon' live forever, they could never kill us
Started on a mountain bike, switching gears, ****
They ask how long it took me, it took years, ****
Through funerals and wakes, I face my fears, ****
Just staying far away from all these weird ****
Fuckin' weirdos
Far away from these weird ****
Something to love, you know
I'm learning
Yeah
We all need it
Love
Started on a dirt bike with the chain loose (Mongoose)
In front of the building with the same troops
Had to go a couple winters with the same boots
The narcs trying to hang us from the same noose
Soon as you bubble, then you run into trouble
So, when they see your money double, they pretend like they love you
I ain't stressing, I ain't worried, my ****, just fucked up
'Cause lately I been burying ****, it's tough luck (Word)
Mama send a prayer via text every morning (Mama)
Help me read the signs and recognize every warning (love me)
And what do you know, I'm still here, though
Avoiding all the dick teasers, skeezers, and weirdos
Started on a mountain bike, switching gears, ****
They ask how long it took me, it took years, ****
Took funerals and wakes, I face my fears, ****
Just staying far away from all these weird ****
Fuckin' weirdos
Far away from these weird ****
Something to love
Something to love, you know
I'm learning
Yeah
We all need it
Love
Before the Clicquot popped we was some bare ****
I know you bleed just like I bleed, why would I fear you ****?
Lately too much on my mind, so I don't hear **** (At all)
Bitches never get my time, I know they share you, ****
Teachers acted like they cared, but I ain't care, ****
Momma told me life was hard, this shit ain't fair, ****
In My Lifetime Volume 1, that made me hear Jigga
Pistols like iPhones, now we carry 'em with us
Hop up out some foreign shit, they taking pictures
Run 'em down on foot, I know bout chasing ****
**** dying everyday, can't erase the spiritus
V12, tint on glass, tryna race it, ****
Look where I took this shit
If you know, you know
If you was around you was around
Something to love
Started on a mountain bike, switching gears, ****
They ask how long it took me, it took years, ****
Funerals and wakes, I face my fears, ****
Just staying far way from all these weird ****
Staying far away from all these weird ****
Staying far away from all you, weird ****
