A-One Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

You know things been a lil crazy lately
C3 baby

I woulda never thought somebody would try and come kill me
Take me away from my family somebody was willing
These niggas hating
This is shit crazy
Now I'm go

I woulda squeeze the whole 30 I couldn't grab da pole
Cuz I was too busy ducking I heard shots and got low
And I got hit 3 times and I ain't even know
That shit happen so fast I wasnt sure what happened
My arm was getting numb and then I saw blood on my jacket
I Got up out the hospital they said that I was cool
12 took my clothes and my jewelry, they took da glizzy too
No disrespect but that's my right I need my glizzy back
Cuz in this city you just can get caught without yo strap
5 shootings in a month
They all a mystery
Come on Akron it's suppose to be black history
Too many blacks
Tryna put other blacks out they misery.
And it's a fact all this gone lead to the devil to victory.
I had to pay out of my pocket
Cuz I aint have no insurance
Too many niggas claim they solid
Turned into informants
And I'm just speaking some real
A lot hate going round
Let's love each other Uplift yo brother don't bring em down
A small city wit potential but can't keep da peace
I'm speaking for da youth dats out here in dese streets
I speak on behalf of my whole family
Who woulda saw my face on a shirt dat said Rest In Peace

So much Trauma
They don't really wanna see you make it
They claim they love you
On the low they really hating
That's why You gotta watch yo back
Cuz they be snaking
They out here snaking
So much trauma
You gone see when you be up and you be down
Cuz when you ain't got shit man they don't come around
Act like they happy when they see you getting bread
Next thing you know somebody want you dead

I left my toast up in da whip it
That bitch had a full clip
Big bro said he coming up I know he on some bullshit
Im praying for my enemies
Cuz look what you niggas started
My whole family savages and plus all my niggas heartless
And I don't even fuck wit nobody, how you gone want me dead
These niggas hate a young fly nigga about his bread
No matter who they is nobody wanna see you winning
They go through measures just to watch yo shit come to an ending.
Always have heart
Cuz anybody in this world cold a leave you in the dark
And niggas playing wit dat that iron man
No not tony start and they ah squeeze and leave you wit no air
Like Chris and jorden sparks
I gotta play it smart never follow always lead
For having hella ambition then guilty is what I plead
Keep it real long as I breathe
Always stand tall
Never change like the color of the leaves In the fall
So I just plan to ball
People see me as da underdog
I'm supplying pressure
This the year that this shit taking off
Y'all been sleeping on me
Keep on sleeping
I'll be waking y'all
My city love me
But they want me dead Ima pray for y'all

So much Trauma
They don't really wanna see you make it
They claim they love you
On the low they really hating
That's why You gotta watch yo back
They out here snaking
They out here snaking
So much trauma
You gone see when you be up and you be down
Cuz when you ain't got shit man they don't come around
Act like they happy when they see you getting bread
Next thing you know somebody want you dead

Next thing you know somebody want you dead
Next thing you know somebody want you dead
Next thing you know somebody want you dead

Next thing you know sombody want you dead
So much trauma
