Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Motherfucker, this is draft day
I hear **** talking what the bag say
Pockets hella flat
I told myself this is the last day
Getting tired of walking 'round depressed and with a sad face
Shawty hella fine, like turn around, like, what that ass say?
Huh, wasn't last place
Huh, now I smash thangs
I want all the pleasures 'cause a **** really had pain
Walking through the pressure, that's a mantra like my last name
Tryna ball on **** 'cause I know it's just a bag game
[Chorus]
Tell 'em this is draft day
And my pockets hella broke, this is my last day
Wait, tried to tell 'em this the last day
No more walk 'round depressing with a sad face
[Verse 2]
I seen some **** die and they ain't never coming back again
They bussin shots, if no one bleed they double back again
I ain't talking condoms when I say they in a magnum
Southern California, but sometimes it feel like Afghanistan
Wait, who adopted them? Wait, bring their father in
They was praising God in church, but still I seen a lot of sin
They don't fight no more, they gotta burner, shouldn't bother them
I stay out the way, I'm tryna put on for my mama 'nem
[Chorus]
Tell 'em this is draft day
And my pockets hella broke, this is the last day
Wait, tried to tell 'em this the last day
No more walkin' 'round depressing with a sad face
[Verse 3]
I ain't sign up for the Army, but it felt like I was drafted
Every step was like a march, but my spirit never fractured
Saw the violence in my view, couldn't let me be a capture
My mind was set on higher heights, 'cause I knew I'd be a master
We was trained in survival, that's the only lesson taught
And the streets ain't a place for love, but I'm learning what I sought
Made a promise to myself, no matter what I fought
I'ma make $1 million, I ain't dying on the block
[Chorus]
Tell 'em this is draft day
And my pockets hella broke, this is my last day
Wait, tried to tell 'em this is draft day
No more walkin' 'round depressing with a sad face
Tell 'em this is draft day
And my pockets hella broke, this is the last day
Wait, tried to tell 'em this is draft day
No more walkin' 'round depressing with a sad face
