Side a
Danny Brown feat. Scrufizzer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got my young, light skinned ho rollin' up the tree
Wearin' jackets in the house, it's the Michigan way
Boiling water on the stove, Ramen noodles for dinner
Dope fiends out the halfway house and they still sniffin'
Homie mommy's 50, smokin' and still tricking'
Still talkin' shit with this Lucy I’m ass lickin'
See my breath when I talk, but nigga, I ain't trippin'
Sellin' all the samples, can't afford to give 'em out
Just copped a half track, see my nigga tryna get it
Standin' on the baseline, Scottie Pippen pivot
Needles in they arms just to keep the lights on
Shit, fuck around, be on hardcore pawn
Tryna get this shit off, the winter, we snuck in
Won't live for anything, but might die for nothin'
They want that old Danny Brown
To bag up and sell a whole pound
Might have to go and get my braids back
Matter of fact, go and bring them AKs back
They want that old Danny Brown
To bag up and sell a whole pound
Might have to go and get my braids back
Matter of fact, go and bring them AKs back
In the Cutty same color as steak sauce
Eyeballed the work, but was just a .8 off
Vet in the game, first seed in the playoffs
Meet me at the Coney, gotta get this weight off
Balmains fittin' like a nigga went swimmin' in 'em
I'm waxed and I'm shinin', hardwood floor
Whore want it hardcore, squirt it on her jaw
Lookin' at the whore like "what you came here for?"
Linwood nigga, heat on him, no stash box
Turn a gangbanger's bandana to a rag top
Old head, dope fiend, cookin' up the yay
Young boys'll shoot your face for them Cartiers
Came a long way takin' $3 for a nick'
Cop an 8 ball, tryna stack for the zip
Now I'm in the rap game, verse worth a brick
Fiends linin' up for a hit of this shit
(And I reps that shit, right now and forever)
(And I reps that shit, right now and forever)
They want that old Danny Brown
To bag up and sell a whole pound
Might have to go and get my braids back
Matter of fact, go and bring them AKs back
They want that old Danny Brown
To bag up and sell a whole pound
Might have to go and get my braids back
Matter of fact, go and bring them AKs back

Estaba pensando en algo
I was thinkin' 'bout somethin'
Pero no me preocupa nada
But I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
Recuerda cuando estaba luchando
Remember when I was strugglin'
Jodido en mis nudillos
Fucked up on my knuckles
Tratando de vender un poco de hierba de tierra
Tryin' to sell some dirt weed
Taxin 'off a diez velocidades
Taxin' off a ten speed
El dinero no venía
Money wasn't comin'
Seguro, negro, seguí adelante
For sure nigga I kept frontin'
Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step
Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step
Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step
Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step
Días lentos, días rápidos
Slow days, fast days
Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way
Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way
Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way
Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way
Y seguí lamiendo ese clítoris
And I kept lickin' on that clit
Hasta que ella me dio esa mierda
Till she gave me that shit
He estado jodido por tanto tiempo
I've been fucked up for so long
Juro por dios que tengo que conseguirlo
Swear to God I gotta get it
Le doy la espalda
I put my back into it
Sirviéndoles bolsas a los estudiantes
Servin' bags to them students
Diles que tengo ese fuego
Tell 'em I got that fire
En ese porche junto al Buick
On that porch right there by the Buick
Solo estoy tratando de conseguir mi mente
I'm just tryin' to get my mind
Vete a preocuparte nigga por el tuyo
Go worry nigga 'bout yours
Enrollando ese swisher
Rollin' up that swisher
Vertiendo un cuatro
Pourin' up a four
Sirviendo en los pasillos
Servin' in them hallways
Las salas de audiencias todo el día
The courtrooms all day
Las capuchas derribaron la puerta
Hoods kicked the door down
Ahora estamos en el coney
Now we in the Coney
Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step
Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step
Los tenía doblados en el escalón

Es la misma mierda de siempre

Todos en la mansión están encerrados, encerrados
Everybody in the manor is locked up, boxed up
Me esta matando
It's killin' me
Niggas quiere deshacerse de mí
Niggas wanna get rid of me
Porque me reviento líricamente en el riddim

Pégalo de una manera, el ritmo más pesado lo golpea
Stick it in a manner, the heaviest rhythm bangin' it out
