Phil Ade - Something True lyrics

[Intro: Phil Ade talking] Yeah...Yeah...Gotta Take my Jacket off for this one Yeah...Like 5 AM in the morning. I just, I just got some sh** I want to get off my chest Yeah. Uh. Do this for Hip-Hop [Verse 1: Phil Ade] I remember sitting in the TL buzzing off of 3 L's Bragging about what girlfriend im bagging on the DL Working at a retail, could never get a great job Skin wasn't light enough, couldn't play the race card It was n******gs that were profiling so I'm whilin stealing car tv's To keep me off of broke island No violent n***a I ain't with the c**aine But where I'm from it's play ball or a dope game And only one made it out spitting propane When he got signed is bout the time that my flow came I swear I'm out of here, and I dont hear the rogaine Being broke used to be funny, but now the joke's lame Drop school, left mama house with no shame Cause life's been a dick, like the pope's name And ain't a thang guaranteed for blacks Thats why we rap we get our money fast [Hook] Cause I've paid my dues, and I've got too much to lose To be waiting on you to tell me something true I've paid my dues, and I've got too much to lose To be waiting on you to tell me something true [Verse 2: Phil Ade] I swear there's nothing like s**, the 4 am text, asking if you trying to mess To n******gs that be the best, but can end up the worse And p**y is a blessing that can bless you with a curse That devil in a skirt could have a devil in her skirt And my state one of the highest rates on earth I searched to know why that sh** is always in the hood And why magic is the only n***a with it that's good...And f** the doctor, they talk to you just enough To keep you coming back till your pocket is fully s**ed I know n******gs going poor just trying stay alive So somebody pay your mind before we pay for it in crime Word of my nine holders my girl is the ninth over from one Aiming down your times over and done I'm an a**hole, I won't even settle for best I want the crown, won't settle for less [Hook] Cause I've paid my dues, and I've got too much to lose To be waiting on you to tell me something true I've paid my dues, and I've got too much to lose To be waiting on you to tell me something true Tell me something true Tell me something true
