Quotable Lyrics:
Thought I found love in Chicago
But she didn’t hit me back in the morrow
I guess all those words were just hollow
Just hollow words
Thought I found love in Atlanta
Until she went ghost like a Phantom
I don’t know why I try to love, to love, yeah
I ain’t settlin’ for nothin’ less, I know what I’m worth (I swear)
Who the f**k came up with that lie, sayin’ words don’t hurt?
I’m only bowin’ down to the highest, ain’t scared of nothin’ on this Earth
I’m from a life of sin, we gettin’ it in and still go to church
Tryna come from underneath this pain, seem like the Percs make it worse
This sh*t a dirty game, you bound to lose if you don’t shoot first
I told my mama to quit her 9-to-5, I’m gon’ make it work
Me and brodie havin’ real talk, so deep that a tеar drop
He like, “Look around, all this shit we got, wе used to would kill for”
Me and her just got a trauma bond, I thought it was real love
No more livin’ in a dark spot, I’m startin’ to feel good
Got a compound in the suburbs now, but, ni**a, I’m still hood
Long as I’m alive, I’m puttin’ it down, I ain’t never gon’ give up
Make sure everything intact, this sh*t too big for a hiccup
Ain’t no slip-ups
Soon as you get out the plane, there’s a greeter waitin’ for you
They gon’ take you to my driver, he gon’ bring you to the spot
Got security waitin’ for you, he gon’ let you in the house
I’ma be there in a minute, I’m somewhere knockin’ money down
When I walk in, she already ready for me
I don’t care what time she gettin’ up, she ain’t never that sleep
She don’t do too much, she understand the life of a G
I appreciate it, that’s why she keep the latest
I’ll let her keep my baby
