Berner Ft. Wiz Khalifa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mhmm
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
Mom's out working, Daddy wasn't home
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 β€˜bout 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

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

shit changed now im ballin in a big way

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



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
