Criminal L.A.W. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found a way through the storm
Feel like I been here before
Cause niggas be hating and plotting
And I’m prolly gon go through some more
From the south, it ain’t too many doors
Yungin’ smart so I rack up awards
I can’t wait till I’m stacking and counting
But before that it’s gon be a war
I found a way through the storm
Feel like I been here before
Cause niggas be hating and plotting
And I’m prolly gon go through some more
From the south, it ain’t too many doors
Yungin’ smart so I rack up awards
I can’t wait till I’m stacking and counting
But before that it’s gon be a war
I lost count of the times I got knocked down, cause I started counting the ups
Too much pain in my heart, so I try not to care
Gotta show em I don’t give a fuck
But deep inside man I know that I do, but I just don’t know how to say it
When they hear me on records, they cut the shit off but when they get home they gon play it
Oh yeah, trust me I know how it go, they only in public with hate
They be all in my dms, be acting like groupies, and shoving they phone in my face
Slow it down man I need me a break, aye, I might hit the woah and then step back
Cause the person I want been ignoring my calls, and taking forever to text back
Ian tripping I know that it’s hard. To love me when I’m acting hard
A yungin been scarred, I keep to my self, and I put all my pain in these bars
Hold me down while I go through this storm, and I got you while you go through yours
The shake back a hunnid, I push it aside, and then I just vibe like before
I found a way through the storm
Feel like I been here before
Cause niggas be hating and plotting
And I’m prolly gon go through some more
From the south, it ain’t too many doors
Yungin’ smart so I rack up awards
I can’t wait till I’m stacking and counting
But before that it’s gon be a war
I found a way through the storm
Feel like I been here before
Cause niggas be hating and plotting
And I’m prolly gon go through some more
From the south, it ain’t too many doors
Yungin’ smart so I rack up awards
I can’t wait till I’m stacking and counting
But before that it’s gon be a war
Look at me now, they just don’t want see me make it, ion know why they be hating
Been on my grind, too late now to hit my line, damn I’m really bouta shine
I just be grinding, put in work be overtiming, patnas talk bout how I’m shining
Look at the timing, too much pain it got me crying, but fuck it dawg I just been sliding
Look at me winning, and this really the beginning, I just pray that I’m forgiving
And pray that I’m healing, damn this shit just started clicking, they will never catch me slipping
Damn this shit hitting, 20 now I handle biness, I been racking up the minutes
Look at me kill it, gotta schedule out the visits, I don’t think I got a limit
I been tripping this shit kinda hard. Can you love me when I’m acting hard
A yungin been scarred, I keep to my self, and I put all my pain in these bars
Hold me down while I go through this storm, and I got you while you go through yours
The shake back a hunnid, I push it aside, and then I just vibe like before
I found a way through the storm

I have a police friend who died in the line of duty but before he died we once open this kind of conversation he said now a day it's hard to do the right thing because everything is wrong in the eyes of the public even it's their life is always on the line. in the investigation people around him, that time said it's because he hesitates to take the shot his afraid to shot because of this kind of situation.
