Off the Lot
EARTHGANG Lyrics

I went out and bought the best car my money could buy
I spent all my money on the best car I could afford.

Asked yo baby mama if she ready to ride
I asked your significant other if they wanted to ride with me.

Swervin' through the hood on the way to Dubai
I'm speeding through the neighborhood on my way to Dubai.

Please don't run up on it unless you ready to die
Don't approach me unless you're prepared to face the consequences.

Poverty stricken, hot wings was kickin'
We were poor, but we still enjoyed flavorful food.

Grew up with God and grew up with nadda
We didn't have much growing up, but we had faith.

Ain't that a bitch? So I married her too
Life is difficult, but I accepted the challenge and made it my own.

Spiritual folks don't eat good
Religious people often struggle financially.

Clearin' my throat as I bless the food
I'm praying before I eat and thanking God for our blessings.

Almighty God, how the fuck you help these killers boss up?
Why do murderers and violent people seem to be successful, God?

Make they bread while our neighborhood filmin' Walkin' Dead
They're making money while our community suffers like on the show Walking Dead.

Bow our heads shit, we split a P between all us
We come together and share our resources, even if they're not abundant.

We was in them church buildings, they was robbin' us silly
The church leaders took advantage of us and stole from us.

Came home, only thing they left us was the ceilings
We came back to our homes with nothing left but the bare walls.

Quick reminder, the finer things in life are the hideous inside
Materialistic possessions don't necessarily bring happiness and inner peace.

My nigga that's a lie, that's a mind fuck
That's not true, it's just a way to deceive us mentally.

That's a brain rape
It's a form of mental manipulation and abuse.

Sellin' waters for a dolla', hope my niggas don't see us
We're selling water for cheap to make ends meet, but we're ashamed of it.

Speak about it at the school, watch how quick I bust a lip
Try talking negatively about us in school and see how quickly we'll fight back.

Red light, catch me outside 28's and up
You'll see me waiting at the red light with luxurious rims and wheels.

I just wanna be that nigga that they look up to for once
I want to be a role model for others instead of always struggling.

I'm in a dope boy game, oh, in a dope boy lane, oh
I'm involved in the illegal drug game, and it's become a part of my identity.

Rockin' dope boy frames, oh, boy your dope don't change
I may have nice accessories, but the illegal activities I'm involved in remain the same.

I only got five in the tank
I only have enough gas for now, and I'm struggling financially.

Two slow leaks on the right side
There are problems with my car that I can't afford to fix.

Key scratches on the paint, stick shift on the fritz
The exterior and mechanics of my car are damaged.

I'm like fuck this whip, can't bag no hoes like this
This car won't help me attract attractive women.

I'm on my go, go gadget, movin' through jungle traffic
I'm trying to navigate through heavy traffic quickly and effectively.

I was a hoodrat magnet, I had to drop old habits
I used to attract negative influences, but I've since changed my behavior.

My cousin went to war at nineteen
My cousin joined the military when he was young.

He started a family whippin' that truck
He became successful by driving trucks and supporting his family.

He got attacked, we just glad he made it back
He was in danger while overseas, and we're relieved that he returned safely.

First thing that nigga did scooped that E-Class Benz
As soon as he returned, he bought a luxurious car to celebrate his success.

Turn a humble family function to another event
His success allowed us to elevate a simple family gathering into a bigger event.

And we been neck and neck since we was kids, you know what that meant
We've been competing with each other since childhood, and we understand each other well.

After we signed to the 'ville, right to the auction I went
After we signed a record deal, I went straight to the auction to buy a car.

So what would you rather get nigga? A car or a crib?
Is it better to spend money on a car or a place to live?

Got released from them leases, never again payin' rent
Now that I have money, I'm not going to rent anymore and instead buy a home.

We all suffer through struggle, you never know the extent
We all face difficulties in life, but we can't know the extent of someone's struggles.

Catch me on Old Nat' and Godby, never forget where I been
You can find me on a specific street corner, and I'll never forget my roots.
