Soph*mores
13, yea
Verse 1: VeuveRAY
"Tale of Two Cities," man the worse of times
Seem to happen to be the best
Mackin' since grade 6, saggin' since grade 9
Rap on the same grind
n***as in the city, they be pushin' the same line
Reppin' different colors, but the kush is the same lime
Shawty face dime? then it's p**y and brain time
Yea, and we just cruisin' up La Brea
Eyes like a Geisha,
Packed out like Staples to MSG
Where I just sip NesTea
Or walk to Barclays to watch the Nets play against the Lakers
Two bad women in a villa wit a gangsta
Twistin' up Afpak, help the boy cash stack
Put it in the ceilin' and a few up in the NASDAQ
Wake up in the morning to eggs, waffles & hash browns
Dee Brown Reebok Pumps took me past style
I was needin' detox, f** bein' the cla** clown
Still had enough jokes to bag ya girl subtly
And now you wonder how I got the whole world lovin' me
Soph*mores, encore, part deux, watitdo?
Faded off the weed & brew, jammin' in your vehicle
Pray to the Lord, though we might just meet the Reaper soon
13th Legion of Doom, pity the fool, gimme some room
Ha!
Chorus: Au JuS
I know you tryna smoke
n***a, I know you tryna smoke (smoke)
I know you tryna smoke
n***a, I know you tryna smoke (smoke)
In this time of life
Oh, during these final days (these final days)
I roll somethin' up, a n***a just tryna skate
Tryna skate, tryna skate
Bridge: Au JuS (4x)
The irie be a gift from nature
The irie be the one ting that can heal the nations
Verse 2: Au JuS
Yo, the Luniz had 5 on it
And you tryna goin' half on an eighth
Man, we just got paid
What they hittin' for a zip?
Let's take this sh** to space
I'm on my Future sh**, I'm 'bout to take a trip
To a place that we don't exist
Co-existing with everything my soul's resisting
It's crazy how these vices are so relentin'
Ain't got a window cracked, but somehow I'm ventin'
...how the pole position just ain't for dancin' women
You know it's also for the the the leaders of the sh**
Carryin' the weight of the world?
Some times I swear that Mother Earth is a Libra or a b**h
This reality got me pissed, it does not fit
A n***a that got it sewn up, a n***a who done grown bruh
I know you tryna smoke, but there's one thing they ain't tell you bro
The highs ain't never been so low
The highs ain't never been so low
The highs ain't never been so low
The highs ain't never been so low
