Ma Boy
Dreamville Lyrics

With the sun in time for a draw
As dawn breaks, it's time to face the day

To hit a person in the morning
This morning is a chance to make an impact

Don't secure in night or day
One can never be too sure what tomorrow holds

So when I lay me down, don't let me fade
At the end of the day, I want to feel like I made a difference

My boy (yeah), my boy (uh), my boy (uh)
I cherish my friends and I say it three times for emphasis

I was at the BP with my boy (my boy)
I used to hang out at the gas station with my friend

Now it's Bentley GT with my boy (my boy)
Now we cruise around in a luxury sports car

Spend EBT with my boy (uh)
We used to struggle financially, but now we can enjoy some luxuries

Now I'm on BET with my boy (my boy)
We've come so far, now I'm even on television with my friend

I'm a G pushin' P with my boy (G pushin' P with my boy)
We are driving in style, and it's always with my friend

'Cause it's always GP with my boy (always GP with my boy)
We always have a good time together, GP stands for 'good people'

Throw a TD to my boy (score)
I'm passing the ball to my friend and we're winning

Now they wanna be me and my boy (yeah)
Now people are jealous of us and want to be in our shoes

Boy, my boy, my boy (look, huh)
Again, I emphasize the friendship and loyalty I have with my friend

Boy, boy, that my brother, so play it cool
I use 'boy' and 'brother' interchangeably to describe my friend and warn others to not mess with him

He a fool, a tool, a loose screw
He's a wild card and unpredictable, but that's what makes him my friend

Pickin' on me, ain't no pick and choose
He may make fun of me, but that's just how we joke around

Either way that you look, it's a lose-lose
Even if you try to come between us, you won't win

Red eyes when the moon rouge
We stay up late and party hard, even when the moon turns red

Screw juice 'cause we drug abused
We've struggled with substance abuse, but we're trying to leave that behind

For the trauma and trouble we thuggin' through
We've been through a lot of hardship and are trying to cope

With the same niggas since duck, duck, goose, goose
We've been friends since we were kids, playing the game 'duck, duck, goose'

Boy, I had to get the fuck up and move, then fuck up the rules
I had to leave my old life behind and break the rules to succeed

Been cut up and bruised too
I've been through difficult times and have scars to show for it

The ugly wounds will soon turn beautiful
Even though the scars may be ugly now, they will eventually heal and add to my story

Trust me, people ain't pushin' no button, they pussy, my boy
People who try to bring me down or test me are just cowards

They play the game, but it's rookie, my boy
People may try to compete with us, but they're not on the same level

Locked in chains, took my boy
My friend has been through struggles and trauma, but he's still here

You don't know how hard that we took it, my boy (yeah, uh)
You have no idea how difficult our lives have been

So I wrote a hook for my boy (okay)
I wrote this song for my friend to show my appreciation and loyalty

This life in me, not on me, my boy
I'm living my life to the fullest, not just existing

Switchin' lanes in Miami, but I can see envy, my boy
Even though we're successful, people still hate on us

Used to get out the dirt, so you know that shit hurt me, my boy
We had to struggle to get where we are, and it wasn't easy

Young nigga fresh in the game, some things will just never change
Even though we're doing well now, we'll always be young and wild at heart

You know that we ain't the same, you now how I got these stripes
We're unique and have earned our success through hard work and sacrifice

They know I'm rooted in blood
My roots and upbringing are important to me and contribute to who I am

Y'all just be lit off the hype, you know this really my life
Others may try to imitate us, but this is our real life and not just a trend

I took a chance and landed, you just be rollin' the dice
We took risks and they paid off, while others are still taking chances

My heart is as cold as Atlantic, I just be drippin' in ice
I may seem cold, but it's just because I've been hurt and I express myself through expensive jewelry

I've been that guy since I landed, you know a real one in sight
I've been true to myself and my values since day one, and it shows

You know that this wasn't handed, you know this really my life (look, uh, okay)
We earned everything we have and we're proud of it

Boy, my boy (my boy), my boy, yeah
I'll always cherish and protect my friend, and I say it again for emphasis
