Lyrics

(He was once a thug from around the way) My life was never (Eazy) My life was never (Eazy) Started in my Cutlass clutchin' heat like it's an open oven Puffin' chronic, Puff and Biggie out the window, speaker subbin' Run into the Crips, it ain't no discussion Bullet wounds drenched in Hennessy and teaspoons of Robitussin Head up faze, got a few concussion, yeah Compton's amazed, Dr. Dre percussion God, please grant my nigga eternal life, we need the beats Aftermath where you fall asleep, you do not eat And my belly is full, gorilla ridin' the bull Banana clips in the pool, swan dive in Clase Azul The opps, I'm on they ass, grandmama whoopings in school This Wilmington and Brazil where niggas die in they jewels Too many Problems, too many YGs So many ties to dollar signs, easy to end up on E I got shot up like Columbine, the Crips descended on me Sign my name on the dotted line, that was vengeance on beats This is the way (He was once a thug from around the way) My life was never (Eazy) My life was never (Eazy) There it is, there it was Don't interrupt just because It's no love Shoulder shrug (shrug) How I ain't bring nothin' to the table when I'm the table? I'ma turn up the music, wake up the neighbors I'ma get that "Thug Life" tatted 'cross the navel This is how I am in real life, not just on cable "Mr. Narcissist," tell me 'bout my arrogance No more counselin', I don't negotiate with therapists God Ye, wanna let God in? But tonight, I guess I'll let my pride win Cousin Dre sent me scriptures, helped me see life better Nigga, we havin' the best divorce ever If we go to court, we'll go to court together Matter of fact, pick up your sis, we'll go to Kourt's together I watched four kids for like five hours today I wear these Yeezy boots everywhere, even in the shower today I got love for the nannies, but real family is better The cameras watch the kids, y'all stop takin' the credit Noncustodial dad, I bought the house next door What you think the point of really bein' rich for? When you give 'em everything, they only want more Boujee and unruly, y'all need to do some chores Rich-ass kids, this ain't yo' mama house Climb on your brother's shoulders, get that Top Ramen out God saved me from that crash Just so I can beat Pete Davidson's ass (who?) And my new bitch bad I know Illuminati mad This that New-minati, bitch This that two Bugatti rich This that "God did this" Only God did this There it is, there it was Don't interrupt, just because Ain't no love, shoulder shrug Won't He do it? Yes He does Won't He do it? Yes He does Won't He do it? My life was never (Eazy) This next one gon' be (Eazy) (He was once a thug from around the way) (He was once a thug from around the way, eazy) (He was-, he was-) (He was-, he was-) (He was once a-, once a-) (Thug from a-, thug from a-, from around the way)
