Kids
D.L Hughley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bitch if I wanted I probably could get your ass hunted
My brothers some demons with nines
Pop out with that beater
No chain on my neck that's a freezer
But it still get hot when we slide.
I'm not a transformer
But they call me Prime because we come secure with the iron we hide.
Not from the tribe
But I drip like Katara
And u know for sure that I'm pushing the tide
Sorry my nigga
I know I'm the G-O-A-T
And I'm way too ahead of my time
These lil niggas rappers
Bitch I'm an artist, you know I put passion into every line
I know some niggas that's
Stuck in a box like they Roddy
Their color's considered a crime
Victims of a city
Robbing and killing
It turned them to villains
They doing their time
No Ice on the cuban
Just cold off the water
But it still get hot if I'm stepping outside
Ask why I'm flexing
Cuz I went from Bmore to Cali
A dream I been holding inside.
When I was little
My unc popped the seat underneath and he showed me the weapon inside
Told me it's cold in the city
So he keep a heater
Tucked up
Right inside of his ride
So I started rapping
I know I was married to acting
But now they both part of the passion
I started off small
But now I dont wanna do talk
All i want is just part of the action.
Pardon niggas if I'm reckless
I get heated like I'm texas
Hope yall niggas get the message
I'ma eat the beat up like its breakfast
When I was younger
I looked in the mirror and wondered would they even 'member my face
I'ma do this for my niggas
that's running
Like Taymor
They tryna do the fucking race.
Young niggas balling
Trying to make a Fortune
Until a young nigga go and catch a case
But that's why ima make it
There aint no mistaking
U know ian faking
Fuck outta my face
Nigga you tried it
Yall should've noticed by now
That there ain't no replacing me
U might here me say cali the place to be
But still know its bmore that created me.
So if I pop out
and u hearing my name
Just remember that this where it started
Just remember this shit when I'm balling
If I shoot I aint missing my target
Bitch if I wanted
I prolly could get yo ass hunted
My brothers some demons with nines
Pop out with that beater
No chain on my neck that's a freezer
But it still get hot when we slide.
I'm not a transformer
But they call me Prime
Because we come secure with the iron we hide.
Not from the tribe
but I drip like Katara




And u know for sure that I'm pushing the tide
Infamous
