Luke Cage
AJ Tracey Lyrics

Bullet holes in my top right now
My clothes are damaged by bullets, but I won't stop because I have a family to take care of.

I'mma keep going but I know that they Want me to stop right now
I will continue, even though some people want me to quit.

But, I got a family to feed So I'm just tryna get the gwop right now
I need to earn money to provide for my family.

And, I got something in the car So I ain't really tryna stop right now
I have something with me that I don't want to leave, so I won't stop.

You ain't getting in bread, that's rage I'm a headline act on the stage
If you don't earn enough money, you're likely to become angry, while I'm already successful.

I got my hoody down over my face And you can't send shots like a man's Luke Cage
My hoodie conceals my face, making it difficult for anyone to shoot me, like the character Luke Cage.

Carl Lucas when I'm in the yard Land in the rave and I swipe my card
I feel like Carl Lucas, a.k.a Luke Cage, when I'm on the streets and at nightclubs.

Man get powered up when I land at the bar Cuh' I'm buying bare shots like I'm strapped for the war
People become enthusiastic when I pay for drinks, as if I'm preparing for a battle.

I was like 6 years old spraying bars Now I'm 22 and I still spray bars
I started writing and rapping at six, and I'm still doing it at 22.

School dons who used to joke and laugh Now when they ask for guest list, it's like nah
My classmates who once mocked me now seek my favors, but I decline their requests.

Dropped out of education, that's long Gran was vexed at man that's like rah
I quit school, which made my grandmother unhappy.

I said "watch, I'm due to go far" But my mumsy knew her son was that star
I promised that I would succeed, but my mother already knew that I had the potential to become successful.

Ex girls thought I was a mess I don't have to explain that bar Now they see me on stage like rah
My ex-girlfriends disapproved of me, and I don't have to elaborate on why. Now, they are impressed with my performances.

Don't ask what my name is Don't ask if I think I'm famous
Don't ask for my name or if I consider myself famous.

Don't give your friends your phone If I say no I'll smash your phone and then break his
Don't lend your phone to your friends to ask for favors on your behalf, or I'll break it and hurt them.

Send shots if you wanna go under Spin a vet MC or a younger I got bruddas who are cannons with the hunger That will cut you quicker than a fishmonger
If you want to be defeated, send me insults. I'll defeat both veteran and novice rappers. My friends are skilled and hungry, and will beat you even faster than a fishmonger can scale a fish.

I need a Jessica Jones A girl that can hold man down Keeping one hand on the throne All these girls, they just wanna play man They just wanna stunt in my bones
I need a girlfriend like Jessica Jones, who is supportive of me. Many girls just want to show off and use me.

A girl that I can call mine A girl that ain't cool with them hoes
I need a loyal girlfriend who doesn't associate with promiscuous women.

I rose from the earth like a rose Defend my team like D Rose Watch my team in front rows Dip through the waves like man rows Apply the pressure, man know There ain't a part of 10 you can go Get your face peeled off like a mango You can't squash the beef like Tango
I emerged from obscurity like a rose. I protect my team, like Derrick Rose in basketball. I watch them succeed from the front row. I swim through the waves like a powerful man. I'm an intimidating figure, and there is nowhere that I can't reach. Don't try to end the feud between us like a soda, because it won't work.

No, no, no, no Man change quick when the Ps come Don't mix bros with the bread Give bread to the bros And make sure that your family's fed
People change when they face problems involving money. Don't let your friendships interfere with your money. Give money to your friends, and make sure that your family is well-fed.

Man tryna send shots, that's pointless Cause I'm Luke Cage to the bullets and the bullshit
Sending insults to me is futile, because I can withstand bullets and any nonsense.

I was hitting 8 balls, something like a pool tip Man see the devil, I'mma hit him with the full clip
I was hitting hard, like striking an 8 ball in pool. I'll fiercely confront evil, attacking it with full force.
