[Intro: Bodega Bamz]
I'm just here to talk to 'em though
That's all I'm here to do, Willie Hex
[Verse 1: Bodega Bamz]
I'm on top of the food chain
Never thought I'd make a dollar off of writing on this loose leaf
Now I pull up with the steering wheel on the right side
Like a movie with the skin fade like I'm Boosie
I don't wear cologne, smell the new seis
Still in the hood with the nose dulce
I can't talk about Nobu, I can't talk about Whole Foods
Associated was the go to
[Hook: Youth Is Dead]
You took a part of me and
Now I have nothing at all
I love you so
But baby, you know
You know how the story goes
And all your friends become your foes
See the only thing on my mind
Is that today will lead us into tomorrow
[Verse 2: Bodega Bamz]
Welfare line, yeah I waited
Work with Wheelchair Jimmy, Papi made it
Not yet, please excuse a young lad
The way I pump my sh**, of course I get ga**ed
I'm from where you get even, not emo
Where the end of the tunnel is like a peephole
So, stop shaking your head like f**ing DLow
Brown paper bag filled with C-notes
I got a short temper like a peep show
You should always keep it real with your people
Never get it twisted like Migos
Watch for the enemies, they used to be amigos
What's mines will be mi, yo
Build a bridge now you can walk by the Rio
Nobody love you when you frío
You know that we know, Tanboys
[Hook: Youth Is Dead]
You took a part of me and
Now I have nothing at all
I love you so
But baby, you know
You know how the story goes
And all your friends become your foes
See the only thing on my mind
Is that today will lead us into tomorrow
[Interlude: Ohla]
I remember me and Bamz had like four presents for Christmas and we shared them sh**s, like
Like I remember, like, my pops was never around and sh**, so
My moms was in the crib, we used to eat ketchup sandwiches
Like, I remember we used to only get one pair of sneakers for the whole year
My pops would be like, "Yo, take care of them sh**s ‘cause you only getting one"
n***a, we been through it, Pa
[Verse 3: Bodega Bamz]
So imagine how I feel, huh?
Spitting sh** that'll listen to [?]
Really real, relatable, let me kneel
As I pray for the weak before I pray for a mill
My only ambition was to survive
My only motivation is provide
Leave my family broke before I die? Nah
I'ma leave my fam with more than enough supplies, amen
[Hook: Youth Is Dead]
You took a part of me and
Now I have nothing at all
I love you so
But baby, you know
You know how the story goes
And all your friends become your foes
See the only thing on my mind
Is that today will lead us into tomorrow
