Venice Scooters
Jamal Gasol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been gettin better with practicing what i preach
Outspoken but I developed a better speech
In my city, everybody know the money on the east
Gotta learn from it
In order for you to teach
Made my 2018 income in 2 weeks
Back when I was cleaning all white ones wit bleach
Too far for you to reach
Leave a trail behind, that's how you can catch a leech
Made my bro go get job, he kept fuckin' up in the streets
Only 23 in the hole for 3 Gs,
I'm Giving niggas chances they don't wanna receive
How I achieved to stay ahead of the competition was logic senses
It's no coincidences
I was who they would prefer to mention
Kansas City SmackMan he such a quoted spitta
Versatile how he deliver
My homie Jay told me on that trip back from Ohio how he thinks it iller when I rap it quicker
Don't say I didn't listen nigga
Ha
Don't say I didn't listen
Kansas City Smackman in 3D
We comin' in 3D right at you niggas
Piff
