Fabolous - For The Family lyrics

[Verse 1: Don Q] Some n***as call shots, some call the feds They say the ones close’ll push you when you’re on the edge Grew up on a pissy mattress, never had a water bed Screamin’ f** the board of ed, too busy chasin’ corner bread Bathroom baggin’ up for an hour long The play off, man I had to turn the shower on Comin’ up with baggies and a towel on Only if mama knew the type of sh** I was on I really know hustlers, dope and coke jugglers You’ll never get rich surrounded by broke customers You gotta learn to maneuver through the tight spots Dirty night cops keep searchin’ a n***a Nike socks I had the sister stash up cause they might watch Everything done is a fact soon as the dice drop You get to strip jumpin’, start off with six onions I’m fence jumpin’ before the dog come sniff somethin’ Got a bunch of jail n***as talkin’ on my Sprint fussin’ Besides the money and b**hes you ain’t miss nothin’ The love overpower the hate The d** overpower the plate I baby blue powdered the Wraith Gold Rollie, a bunch of diamonds overcrowded the face Never worried, I’m with my j**elry in and out of the state Road trips, I f** with foreign them, Paolo was safe And if you seen it how I seen it then you gotta relate It’s Don [Verse 2: Dave East] Uh I was raised where it’s cold at The presidential was plain till game froze that Oxycodone and molly I really sold that All black 380, the scheme matchin’ my Bo Jacks You seein’ there ain’t no paper here so where the coke at Took a trip to Texas, put lean back like Joe Crack Couldn’t give my uncle no money cause he would smoke that The ‘Gram got him thirsty for pictures so they could post that 20 n***as crowdin’ my section like “where the hoes at?” I’m in Bergdorf Goodman blowin’ this feature paper Floatin’ up 1st Ave knockin’ Anita Baker Givenchy T for the ape rottweiler Crown Five, whole dinner cost me like 5 dollars In the zone playin’ The Commission off of Shyne album The sh** they be rappin’ out be make believe Outside pumpin’ and it was 8 degrees Blunted off an 8th of green Before the sour came, before n***as was drinkin’ lean Avirex leathers some n***as listened to Tracey Lee I’m prolly with a chick that look like Amerie 04 crocodile mauries I had the gators green My cousin said we the best traffickin’ major keys Before Meek was reppin’ Dream Chasers I tried to chase a dream Christian Dior cover my eyelids Ask my n***a Don who got the raw up in Highbridge Nothin’ to eat, embarra**ed to open my fridge Jigga on repeat as I think about it, can I live? [Verse 3: Fabolous] Look, I’m tryna grab a Dame and Dash get back on the freeway Shawty went to Memphis, brought it back up to BK Hard knock life, Bentley back to the PJs The feds ain’t got a clue like they lackin’ a DJ Rock change round here they’ll get you for real Put that Mac to your beanie just to get to a mil See I was young poppin’ Cris underneath the big homies Rappin’ and trappin’, tryna do it bigs homie Yeah I put my pay on Birks sh** I even bought a watch, a little plain jane first Looked at hers, looked at mine, said this ain’t gon’ work So I threw diamonds up in it like a Jay concert And told her “hold it down and I just might bae you” You been around since I was choppin’ up the Ye samples f** the streets all I want is state property And make sure I break off the n***as that hate properly And don’t let them Jones’ll talk about the gemstones We don’t just blaze we blow ’em out of they Timbos They gon’ whisper like Keak Da Sneak That petite Philipe, 7:30 freaky zeke But enough about the j**els every summer we jam on ’em And they take shots when you pullin’ out the Lamb’ on ’em Oh you mad? Know I had the cam on ’em Said a diplomat plays for the fam on ’em Yeah
