Lyrics

[Chorus]
That's how it coulda been
Uh-huh
Four deep in the colors, the johnnies gon' cuff us
Where they take us to the tank, that's where we squabble with enemies
That's how it coulda been
Woah, woah
Stressed out at my mama house, the fuck is this shit about?
No money to make it out
Yeah
[Verse 1]
That's how it coulda been, that's what it was
It coulda been anybody else, but it's us
It ain't like we cannot exceed, life is rough
We only had shit in the hood to make us self-destruct
Now you looking at a made man who escaped the caged land
God made plans, what a shift
We on yachts, fuck a slave ship
We don't take orders, we take risks
Take trips, yeah
Life good, coulda been cold, cold
Where my bail? Fuck twelve
Lay low, I'm chill
For real
[Chorus]
That's how it coulda been
Uh-huh
Four deep in the colors, the johnnies gon' cuff us
Where they take us to the tank, that's where we squabble with enemies
That's how it coulda been
Woah, woah
Stressed out at my mama house, the fuck is this shit about?
No money to make it out
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm taking care of me and my kids
Mama took good care of me, that's what it is
Uh, it feel like God reached out, grabbed us and saved us
Fall on my knees and I tell Him He the greatest
High school dropout in the drop-head
Was on the dub with my busters and hotheads ('Leven)
To Big Block, look at your son, now he hot
Fakers, we not, all facts
Caps off, all gowns
Support from the family for loving me, I don't need
And I don't wanna lose my day ones, life's crazy
Show my daughters and my sons they should be grateful
[Chorus]
'Cause that's how it coulda been
Uh-huh
Four deep in the colors, the johnnies gon' cuff us
Where they take us to the tank, that's where we squabble with enemies
That's how it coulda been
Woah, woah
Stressed out at my mama house, the fuck is this shit about?
No money to make it out
Yeah, that's how it coulda been
[Outro]
Stressed out at my mama house, the fuck is this shit about?
No money to make it out
[Instrumental]
Stressed out at my mama house, the fuck is this shit about?
No money to make it out
