Adolescent:
[Verse 1]
Now as an adolescent it always made sense
To WANNA ride in them old school west coast southern thangs
With something underneath the seat you know it bangs
Use it on anyone trying to f** up a good day
I know I shouldn't but if I must I will
I'm just keeping it real
Hands all on the wheel
Looking for something to feel
Rolling weed into blunts you know what's up
Got that liquor on deck ready to pour it up
Bumping screw tapes with a lot of ba**
Holler at all the b**hes with a pretty face
White girls, Asian girls, chocolate honeys and Latinas
Only get my attention if you have the baddest demeanor
And once I cut and then I bust I'm out the door don't want no more
So get the f** away from ho
I've seen it all before
When I was just boy
Thinking about the world
And what it has in store
But YA see things change
Switching lanes
Always doing the same
Don't got no one else to blame
Except for myself
Just a cold blooded g
From that t r e
South side h town
You can't help me now
[Verse 2]
Got a fresh cut looking for a nice f**
The last chick I had she didn't give me much
Her sh** was weak that foo foo lame
Such a plain Jane but I still k**ed that p**y anyways
Uh I'm selling and breaking up all of that blow
Making im caking on all of that dough
Tasting the riches
f**ing these b**hes
Burning bridges
Blasting snitches
Forever whatever man you'll never
Never Eva Neva Eva get on my level
Finger on the trigger just tryna live bigger
Every now and then you gotta see the bigger picture
Mister mister read all about it
Do you really even think ima give a f** about it
f** your feelings I'm just tryna make a k**ing
Can't you see I don't love how I'm living
Cuz a guy like me he should be free
To be whatever he wants to be
But really that ain't actually
It's all just plain fantasy
Damn why does it even gotta be like that
All I want is my pockets fat
Just wanna bump my ludacris and get into some sh**
Ugk and ghetto boys
Just a youngin talking noise
Rolling into the store with my boys
Now everybody get the f** on the floor
*Bullets firing*
[Young Chaseon speaks after robbing the store with his woes]
Present:
[Verse 3]
I Remember the first time I ever paid attention to tlc's waterfalls
How fast and how easy it is for your curtain to fall
Before as a child I wanted to be wild be free be a g
Popping gats body with tats smoking on green and sipping that lean
Till I realized day by day that that life ain't cut out to be all that it seems
Sure you got the women and it may seem like you run the world
But all you run is a block sh** a f**ing trash man covers more
I lost an uncle to the street life his son never got to meet him
I lost an uncle to the white now his kids won't ever get to see him
Looking back I started to understand slowly what it takes to be a man
And that no matter how many times you fall you can always stand
Breaking through to that other side
Another life CUZ see that young me still resides
Every now and then he comes for the ride
But I never let him consume me
I broke free from all the clutches
Moved away from the bullet ducking
And all the chicken heads that be clucking
Took a break from all the rushing
Broke myself down after some years
Listening to fade to black I shed some tears
Cuz I felt as if I could hear him speaking to me then and there
Telling me move away from it all and look at what's really out there
I lost my life to this I don't want you to lose yours either
Make sure you and the rest of the family takes care of my boy and my girl
Those were the words I heard and it really struck a nerve
Then it hurt CUZ I couldn't take it anymore
All that was left was just a hole
Sort of like what my dad had
He's the reason that I don't sip out of your gla** or plastic cup
Cuz I know I have a demon in me that'll f** things up
Waking up no longer making up in just tryna get my cake up
That's wa**up up in the cut didn't want my life to get stuck in the rut
That's why I hardly go to parties
Hell yeah I want to get naughty
I know I'm cute but I have rules
Probably think that I'm a fool
How I can have all these girlies flocking but I don't even pick one or two
That's cuz I'd rather love a lady than f** a b**h that's untrue
Don't want to catch a case with her lying to my face saying that it's cool
I've seen too many times
How people can just straight up lie
All my life every day every night
I do some wrongs I do some right
I'll admit to that but when I go off rail I get back on track
Determination is not something I lack
On the beat I'll go on a ma**ive attack
I'm just tryna get a piece of mind
But yall tryna get a piece of mine
Shout out to andre three thou
I remember talking about it all with a cousin of mine
He's about to have a baby damn that's sh** crazy
He's younger than me too
Always thought the streets was cool
He escaped though
Living good tryna get up out the hood
Damn man I'm so proud of you
I'll be your sons big uncle too
This is all just part of my life
Within me I hold too many sides
To think It all could've ended with suicide
I'm just happy to be alive and thAt I'm living right
And that in the end I didn't fall to this f**ing street life
