Lyrics

Turn it up...
Ma threw a birthday again (Broke.)
Feelings at risk and freedoms provoked
Ain't maintaining like other folks
Try to ease the pain, telling mother jokes
Only got me hiding the pain
Damn shame
But I keep it real in my quotes
Don’t announce the feeling I feel the most
'Cause Giuliani don't play when he catch you dealing with toast
You feel me?
It's gonna get better
But is it really?
It was better when I was young
Stealing bikes, bouncing, doing a pop-a-wheelie
Do I (A) sell drugs, get my pockets filled up
Hustle for cash, even though I might get killed up
Or do I (B) just chill... I don't need to hust-ill
C'mon down, this rap shit real
I'm talented plus ill
I dig in my pockets, looking for dough
Series is cancelled
No cream, I dig in much deeper, looking for answers
Pulling out lint only depresses me
'Cause everything costs god trying to pay rent on time especially
You need to get a job and keep it
I heard somebody talking, I turned around quick, I didn't peep it
The streets is where the dough is at though, it ain't a secret
I looked down to see my fucking pocket speaking
I know y'all think I'm reaching
I'm like, look, I'm too high for this
Plus, everybody know the street's where the dough is at
What you a rocket scientist?
My left pocket laughs, says
Hahahahs, ****, you don't know the half
If you was really bout it bout it pushing a nav getting cash
Or, you could be writing beats
Banging out joints in the lab
There you go again, that goodie, goodie shit is for crabs
Plus, it ain’t rational
I can’t believe I live on the goddamn same pair of pants as you
I think I need a glass or two
Cause I’m bugging out, these jeans I’m rocking is on the next level
Far from fashionable, my left pocket said fuck em, he gassin you
Look at my left pocket and pulled it out
He barked on me, he told me its cool
Put em back inside and cool out
In the strangest stance, I think they knew by the way the game was glance
That I was on my way back into my lab to change my pants
Ran downstairs to the room, took off my pants
Threw them at the wall, they hit the floor started singing
My ears ringing
You can run but you can’t hide
These pockets need to get filled up
Worldwide, watch your pockets
cause nowadays crime pays
 In all kind ways, you can pay your rent
And see these sunshine days
Sell drugs you live
If you sell drugs you die
Worldwide, cause you can work, come home and get high
No matter how you drop a problem, microscopically
Get up get out and fill these goddamn pockets
The next day had me looking at the night before blurry
Woke up, hungover, breath stinking, tongue furry
Took a shower, brush my teeth without a worry
Then remembered I had a studio session, yo, I had to hurry
Brush my hair quick, who on the murry
Turn up the durag, went to the pile of clothes on the floor where my sweater was buried
Sifted through the traditional
I don’t hang my clothes up, so what
It ain’t really that critical
Pulled my sweater out
Rolled out, but by accident
I ain’t have shit to match with it
Picked up the jeans I had the night before
Threw on my sweater and now I like it more
Masin’ Timbs, grabbed some keys and now I’m out the front door
(**** you got me pissed before)
I’m like it’s y’all again, holding my screen piss
About to cut some holes in my jeans
****, how you bouncing, you ain’t holding no cream
Good question, had the hood guess it
I thought y’all was only for good dressing
Now y’all speaking to me
how long you been peeping the steed
My left pocket said
The problem in here deeper than me
A man who got shit on lock always leave with his keys
Ain’t no secret to me
I’m trying to make joints for people to see
Went back inside and let a roast
Cause you remind me I’m broke
Laid on my futon with my shoes on
Inhaled all the smoke
I tried to pass to my right pocket and he declined
My left pocket then started to whine
And said
He be fronting all the time ****
Sell your drugs, get yo dough
Cop that weight, make that cake
I look down at this pocket **** smoking a spliff
And this shit sound great
My right pocket sounded like a prophet
And told me wait for a street date
There’s money in this rap shit
Yeah true, but instead of moving forward
I found myself bent, going backwards
Stressed, smoking shawn’s weed out of vanilla dutch and backwoods
Ready to rob a ****, fatigued down, rocking a black hood
Both y’all **** shut the fuck up, damn it ain’t no mistake
Yo I’m trying to get this motherfucker to go out and rob ****
And kill **** (No!)
What the fuck is you doing (He has a career)
You fucking it all up (Nooo No!)
You need the dough to get the bitches
(**** I got a girl)
So what, so does every other motherfucker in the world
(But if you love her and enough so you can money so y’all can spot)
Fuck that, cause you don’t know if she out creeping with other guys
My whole life needs to be summarized, I need to realize
If I’m going to go astray or take the word of the wise
Blurry my eyes
Cause neither of my pockets live
But its enough to blow your high
Get out to die
You know what, You know what
Fuck both of y’all (No!)
I’m gonna go put my fatigues on (No!)
I knew I should’ve put them on
Fuck that
Shut the fuck Up (No!)
Don’t try this at home
Don’t try this at home
