Charles Hamilton - Long Socks lyrics

[Verse 1: Charles Hamilton] The place, SUNY Sullivan The space, a puny f**in' kid The face on this space, who be buggin' when He lose another friend, using up my skin The abuse that shove me in a box To not reach out, but to be public and be watched With that said, for every blackhead, pimple, and insecure thought, I write another song, and grin with pure thought This is pure Charles. Once I bounced it from Pro Tools MySpace, didn't have high plays, but got high praise One bright day, the sky was type gray Checks go next and this guy was like, "Hey, I'm Anthony. I go to the HS you once attended, You're my fave." I'm like, "It's good to know that someone gets it." He's a little bit younger, but a kindred spirit indeed He took a hit of the weed and said... [Hook] Plenty of nights I walk alone In these long pink socks So put it on my life, I won't steer you wrong The only brother that I got I don't know where I would be without my best friend (You tell me) I don't know where I would be without my best friend [Verse 2: SHow TuFli] Do you know what I had to do to get here? How much I loved and had to lose to sit here? Well Rosa, I know what you was goin' through If I was older, I'd probably fall in love with you Now I'm sittin' in a chair gettin' comfortable I been growin' out my hair for a month or two Smoke a blunt or two Five, six, seven, eight God I'm living great I'm just trying to celebrate Every day I'm praying for a better day I feel selfish But I couldn't help it But now I'm here to tell you I appreciate you, and everything that makes you Life is what you make it, but don't let it make or break you If they don't give it, take it And see where it takes you Cuz you could do anything if you believe you able Otherwise you believe in fables And I'm the real deal, Show TuFli, do you believe in angels? [Hook] Plenty of nights I walk alone In these long pink socks So put it on my life, I won't steer you wrong The only brother that I got I don't know where I would be without my best friend (You tell me) I don't know where I would be without my best friend [Verse 3: Charles Hamilton] n***a, you Tails, I had to run the game first A.K.A., figure out what my name's worth Fame hurts when you ain't work But my mother used to make me wear a change purse Wasn't like a purse, it was like You know those things the transit cops wear? And it stops there Man, it's not fair So many memories for you to witness With this trip and every city we visit [Verse 4: SHow TuFli] Yo, Chuck I do this sh** for the love I don't spit for a buzz I was sick, body limp, couldn't budge With a gift, pissed Cuz I couldn't spit what it was But we knew what it was and what it will be Spit the sh** that made X get hit until they k** me If my neck was lit, these dudes'd probably feel me Forget the fake sh**, I'mma stay real to me And hip hop is as real as can be, since double 0 [Hook] Plenty of nights I walk alone In these long pink socks So put it on my life, I won't steer you wrong The only brother that I got I don't know where I would be without my best friend (You tell me) I don't know where I would be without my best friend
