Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh, oh-oh, oh

Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah

Oh, oh-oh, oh (Come, selecta)

Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah (Yeah)

[Verse 1]

If I had a million dollars, bet my life would change (Life would change)

No more juggin' for my shit and no more savin' change (Savin' change)

I ain't gon' lie, I get a mill', no, I ain't coppin' chains

I'd rather split it with my mans so all our lives can change (All our lives can change)

You see, we act the way we act 'cause we lack finer things

And learn to shoot 'cause no one took us to no rifle range

And even if it's contradictive, tell me put my gun away

So conflicted in my mind sometimes, I wanna run away, damn

[Chorus]

Oh, oh-oh, oh

'Round and 'round and 'round we go (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

Lord, take me to where the streets is gold (Oh, oh-oh, oh)

Wanna go somewhere nobody knows (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

Oh, oh-oh, oh

'Round and 'round and 'round we go (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

My whole life I've been fiendin' for (Oh, oh-oh, oh)

To go somewhere nobody knows (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), yeah, uh

[Verse 2]

I'm the leader out my friends and that's just how it is (How it is)

Know they dependin' on me so I gotta make it big

And it's no pressure, these streets raised a go-getter

So I surround myself with smart **** that know better

So nah, we don't need lectures, we off all the peer pressure

I might die tomorrow, my mind's nowhere near next semester

My feet wetter, I'm in the streets so I see better

Knowin' I can make it one day so mom can sleep better

Shorty never home, I ain't gon' lie, it's hard to eat better

Hard to think that I could fly away with all these weak feathers

Like I never had shit, 'cause I never had shit

Thank God my mama had some sense to move me out the city

'Fore I ended up dead for bullshit and then bad shit

Got me thinkin', I'm the reason mom keep gettin' cancer

All this stress I be causin' and all this madness

I wake up every day and every day is blackness, damn

[Chorus]

Oh, oh-oh, oh

'Round and 'round and 'round we go (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

Lord, take me to where the streets is gold (Oh, oh-oh, oh)

Wanna go somewhere nobody knows (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

Oh, oh-oh, oh

'Round and 'round and 'round we go (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

My whole life I've been fiendin' for (Oh, oh-oh, oh)

To go somewhere nobody knows (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

[Instrumental]

COUPE

Uh, yeah, yeah

Yeah, for sure

Yeah

Uh, yeah

[Verse 3]

How far am I willin' to go?

Do whatever it takes just to blow

Spend my whole life chasin' dreams

How far am I willin' to grow?

I'll never forget 'bout the days me and ma shared a room and I slept on the floor

Man, growin' up, we was so poor

More than often, we hung our head low

I look in the mirror and see

Really everyone in, except me

Hard to embrace who I am

When inside, think it's nothin' to be

I think I'll start actin' like those who I saw on the streets or I see on TV

Everyone except me

Everyone except me

'Cause who would wanna accept me?

Do I be who I be? Yeah

I done hit the bottom, ****

Of course, I land on my feet

But when does this come to a break?

Seem like everyone else got it straight

I'm just fightin' for leftover plate

Fuck a drink or a slice of the cake

Sometimes I just wanna run away, yeah, uh
