This the first beat I ever made nigga
Okay you still finding life outside, what u used to

Seen her in the streets still
Must not want a happy home
I just popped like three pills
None of em was Tylenol
Ibuprofen I be hopin that y'all niggas really joking
Hoes chase a player and a player chase a bag
Player hating on me watching fun dawg they livin sad
Damn dawg why you mad?
Oh she did you like that?
Ran back to yo ex I thought y'all disconnected
Man she so cuckoo
Turn off the wifi

Crib lookin like a trap

You know we just gettin money and this life a sin
Chain glistening lookin like a chandelier

Take you back to the streets if you really wanna go there
But why you wanna go there?

Seen her in the streets still
Must not want a happy home

Hoes chase a player and a player chase a bag
Player hating on me watching fun dawg they livin sad
Damn dawg why you mad?

Came a long way for the promise land
And we on the way, we can promise that
