Family
A.L.S. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First things first I'm tired of this fake love
Nigga's crip walking like
They ain't got no blood in they veins
He can dribble but no aim
Got no love for the game
So how you gone shoot your shot
Left hook I'm on the block
Feeling like a southpaw
Nine milli in my drawers
Had to minimize my ex I never answer when she call
All I wanna do is ball for 100 summers
I'm a hot boy pull up in a four runner
And I got my baby sounding like a Harley Davey
On the front line don't make me call my navy
I may pop a wheely like I'm out in philly
Riding in a chin chilly cause its getting windy
Pretty girl on the back
Ride through the blocks of the opps
I pray to God they don't got no problems
Cause if they do then ima
I pulled my nine out and
Man we can do this how you want
But this 9 milli ain't just for show
And you can't account
For how far the next mans willing to go
So I stay up on my grind
I got this money on my mind
Finger on the trigger nigga hand on my nine look
Family first but don't wait up for me
Lord don't you take them from me
May be the realist shit I ever wrote
In troubled waters its a leak on that boat
No captain that can go
So keep the family close before one of the bro's turn to a ghost
Trust me nigga I know I had to deal with it
No defensive line in the field nigga
This a stick up and I ain't got no meal ticket
So I be damn if I let the fam starve
So I gotta go hard
Hope I'm forgiving by that God almighty
All well I stick to the g code
It ain't no L.R.P. without Be roll I got it
Nigga put this 9 to your noggin
While I'm dress like Malcolm x
Get your hand up out my pocket
Shout out to all my Brooklyn nigga's
That think a change gone come but
Uncle Sam out here cooking nigga's
Low jack in a M45 infinity
Got 4 cuban links got me feeling like mister t
Man we can do this how you want
But this 9 milli ain't just for show
And you can't account
For how far the next mans willing to go
So I stay up on my grind
I got this money on my mind
Finger on the trigger nigga hand on my nine look




Family first but don't wait up for me
Lord don't you take them from me

After watching this video I did some research and Corey is still alive and doing pretty well considering his ALS. He has been living with als for 15 years! His momma must be so happy! This is such good news. He is obviously very blessed, he is still able to use his voice, no breathing tube and even more handsome then in this video. His speech is not as clear as in this video but he is still talking. I found the video on Facebook. Bless you Corey! 🙏

roycecowan

Hey Corey, I love this little video! My name is Royce and I was diagnosed with ALS at age 27 (31 now). Anyway, I wanted to thank you for making this video and for raising funds/awareness. I am super impressed with how well you look after six years. You defiantly walk and talk better than I do. That got me thinking; you may be able to have a little more fun than you are. While I've never met you I'm confident that you could ride a recumbent trike. Just google ALS Royce blog recumbent trike. I don't sell them by the way. I do however ride them and I have ALS just like you. Thanks again!

This is so heartbreaking. He's so strong and has a great support system though. God bless you

Im one of the chosen I suppose. Each day i wake with the knowledge that my risk for MND or what you call ALS is extremely high. So the fight you fight is for me. In my family i have lost 5 people to ALS in the past 20 years and i have to say that is a lot because i have a extremely small family. In genetic testing which i chose to go through they found i have a Malformation of the SOD1 gene which like my other family members makes me predisposed to the disease. So this sits quietly on a shelf and when you get that twitch, cramp or just feel a little weak or tired you wonder. is it? Please AXE ALS for you and me. thank you. Dont let go of your fight. You are in my prayers.

DENISE MONTGOMERY

You are in my heart so much! I wish only the best for you and I pray a cure is found. You're so brave and strong that you give others hope. God bless you and your family, particularly your mom. She loves you so much!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Son unos de los mejores conciertos, no puede ir pero de tan solo verlos desde pantalla, se que estuvo sorprendente. Ojalá la cultura europea se representara más a menudo tan bellamente. No puedo dejar de decir "oh, esto es hermoso" a lo largo del video

VIDYA sirigeri

God bless you & your family corey. You have great will power. Thank you for this little video. You are inspiration to everyone suffering with ALS.

Brutal disease! Lovely guy, who is at least fortunate to have loving parents. I hope Corey is still here and is enjoying life as much as he can. Best of Luck Corey

Wendy Qallab

Cruel disease and I really hate it.
