Advice
Berner Ft. Wiz Khalifa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's just how it is man
Round my way
Just a young lil' nigga, but he had the right plan
Twenty-thousand in his left, pistol in his right hand
Counting every dollar that he get, cause he worked for it
But don't run up on him cause you'll probably get murked for it
Ain't nobody give it to him, so he got it on his own
Yeah, he got it on his own
You want something? Gotta take it
Tryna get up out the hood, but he'll probably never make it
He's a midwest cowboy, Pittsburgh nigga
Came from a city where them niggas they some killas
Midwest cowboy, Pittsburgh nigga
Came from a city where the niggas they some killas
Midwest cowboy, Pittsburgh nigga
Came from a city where the niggas they some killas
Midwest cowboy, Pittsburgh nigga
Came from a city where the niggas they some killas
Just a young nigga, but he had the right plan
Slanging looking for them people hopping out them white vans
Standing on the corner rolling up their marijuana
Smoking weed and selling packs of D till you're a gonner
Caught a case and lost some racks, the nigga got it back
In any case a nigga disrespect, he's on his back
He bought a pack, then bought a strap
This niggas got his back
His life has changed it's gone to smack
And ain't no turning back
Midwest cowboy, Pittsburgh nigga
Came from a city where the niggas they some killas
Midwest cowboy, Pittsburgh nigga
Came from a city where the niggas they some killas
Midwest cowboy, Pittsburgh nigga
Came from a city where the niggas they some killas
Just a young nigga, but he had the right plan
Wore a lot of jewelry, he slept with it on his nightstand
Made a lot of money and he got it all from hustling
Came from a good family but say he can't get enough of it
All up in the club and he ain't looking for a ring
Fucking other niggas bitches, yeah he swear that was his thing
Yeah, he learned a little lesson βbout messing with them haters
Cause they found his body later
Guess that's what he get for fucking with them...
Midwest cowboy, Pittsburgh nigga
Came from a city where the niggas they some killas
Midwest cowboy, Pittsburgh nigga
Came from a city where the niggas they some killas
Midwest cowboy, Pittsburgh nigga
Came from a city where the niggas they some killas
The lyrics of "Advice" by Berner ft. Wiz Khalifa are packed with rich storytelling, highlighting the harsh realities of life for a young man from the Midwest/Pittsburgh area. The opening verse tells us about a young man who has earned his money through hard work and is armed and ready to protect himself against those who would try to rob him.

The chorus - "Midwest cowboy, Pittsburgh nigga, came from a city where the niggas they some killas" - emphasizes the rough and tumble environment the young man has come up in, where survival of the fittest reigns supreme.

lyrics :
Uh
I'm high again
on my way up 30,000 feet in the sky again
Gone be gone from here to da end of july
and somebody that i care for askin me why again
walkin through da airport
smellin like a pound
was happy when we ain't have shit
now they dont like us
not your ordinary guy
cuz i said fuck the rest and showed you what my life was
and lil niggas got on
then tried to do it just like us
the niggas i know is the ones wit the private flights booked
whenever they havin a party them niggas invite us
im rollin that cali before i light up
need a real nigga call me and i'll be right up
and i been gettin dis money nigga
despite all of these people hatin on me
cuz they dont understand
my niggas do everything you wanna do
but imma just do everything that you cant
taylor gang whatup
No we aint the same homie
any show you gone be going through lots of things
if you tryna live my life my life my life my life my life
and you think you know
wanting my advice imma tell you to get your own
instead of tryna live my life my life my life my life my life
I was raised in the city that the fish saved
where lil kids go to school learn to get slaved
niggas had work now its time for shift change

time to eat, time for all my team to get payed
anybody gotta problem wit it gettin sprayed
anybody got some chronic need to get blazed
started at the bottom
now we in the big game
now my OJ go in my champagne
and its diamonds all in my damn ring
and my rollie matchin my gold chain
and my shows come wit they own planes
and my money comin in rubberbands
niggas hatin cuz they dont understand
my homies do everything that you wanna do
imma just do everything that you cant
Pittsburgh what up

any show you gone be going through lots of things
if you tryna live my life my life my life my life my life
and you think you know
wanting my advice imma tell you to get your own
instead of tryna live my life my life my life my life my life
