Tryna Yea
Kevin Gates Lyrics

I knew somethin' was up 'cause they took me to Livingston jail
I sensed something unusual was happening because I was taken to Livingston jail.

My bond was three-hundred thousand
The amount of money I needed to pay to be released from jail was three-hundred thousand dollars.

Drek' was up there in thirty minutes with forty bands, you heard me?
Drek arrived with forty thousand dollars in cash within thirty minutes, did you hear me?

This a throw back to them niggas in the Feds
This is reminiscent of those who were imprisoned in the Federal System.

We got kids, tryna make sure that they fed
We have children and we are trying to ensure that they are taken care of.

I get sick, go to gettin' rid of meds
When I get sick, I try to avoid taking medication entirely.

Outta work, call him, hoppin' outta bed
When I'm out of work, I call my contact and jump out of bed when I get a response.

Don't know how many times I done been to Seg'
I have lost count of how many times I've been to Segregation.

Don't know how many times I prayed and bumped my head
I don't know how many times I've prayed and felt hopeless.

I got that ice in my mouth, I spent some bread
I have a lot of diamonds in my mouth, and I've spent a lot of money on them.

And it ain't cheatin' if I wanna get some head
It's not considered cheating if I want to receive oral sex.

I'm just a bread winner out'chea tryna, yeah
I'm just someone who's trying to make money out here, you know.

I break a brick down then I catch a cell
Once I break down a brick of drugs, I am at risk of being incarcerated.

I come in town then I get the mail
When I arrive in town, I collect my parcels and packages.

Runnin' that fast pace, always put me in last place
Running at such a fast pace always seems to put me in a disadvantageous position.

I got a nigga from Champagne who wanna fuck with the campaign
I have a person from Champagne that wants to work with me on a project.

I just got rid of the last thang, put the Corvette in the fast lane
I just disposed of my last product and now I'm driving my Corvette at high speed.

I took a trip to San Diego, hold up, I'm goin' too fast, wey
I travelled to San Diego, but I need to slow down because I'm driving too quickly.

Say I drive like Puerto Rico, I belong in a drag race
People say I drive like I'm in a drag race and belong in one.

Say I'm fuckin' on a deep throat, I don't remember her last name
People say I'm having sex with someone who specializes in deep throat, but I can't remember her name.

Say I stayed down, and I preyed on 'em and that when the cash came
People say I stuck around, waited for an opportunity and then took advantage of it when the money came.

Givin' a check to the gas man, pourin' a pint in the gas tank
I am paying the gas station with a check and then filling up my gas tank with a pint of some other substance.

Runnin', I might pull a hamstrang
I might pull a hamstrin while running.

I know they probably won't blame Gates, already underwent hard strain
I know people probably won't blame me, but I've already been through a lot of difficult times.

Cover your hand at the card game
Make sure to cover your hand when playing a card game.

You know I painted a bad picture, I gotta do all the ass kissin'
I know I've portrayed myself in a negative light, so I need to be extra nice to make up for it.

I have been labeled a crash mission, I take her then maybe she act different
People think of me as a person who causes chaos, but maybe the girl will behave differently when she's with me.

Poor now, deal wit' her ass different, pretendin' she don't miss the last nigga
With the current state of things, I am dealing with her differently, pretending she doesn't long for her previous partner.

Pullin' her hair from the back, hittin' it, temperature feelin' like Carol City
Pulling her hair from the back while having sex and the intensity of the moment feels like being in Carol City.

Energy wrong, you on your own, I'm 'bout to go in like four minutes
The vibe is off, and you're on your own. I'm about to start something in four minutes.

I get so sick of my phone clickin', gotta deliver a whole chicken
I'm tired of the constant notifications from my phone. I need to deliver an entire chicken.

Marvel's a movie I'm on glisten, visible set, they all hit
I'm shining like a Marvel superhero, my jewelry is visible and impressive.

Crack a smile around this bitch and I just deliver the cold shiver
I smile around this person and send a chilling message to them.

I'm reminiscent of those feelings
I'm thinking of those past emotions.

I am not runnin' from no nigga
I'm not scared of anyone.

I am not fuckin' with gold diggers
I'm not dealing with anyone who's only after my wealth.

I got you covered, I'm on business
I have your back, and I'm working hard to succeed.

Summer, it's snowin' a whole blizzard
Even though it's summer, it feels like a snowstorm.

Strawberry haze, don't whisper
There's a strawberry-scented haze around, so don't whisper and give away our presence.

Meanin' it's loud, I'm outta town, not on the ground, I'm in the cloud
It's very loud and noticeable, but I'm not on the ground, I'm in the clouds.

I'm just a bread winner out'chea tryna, yeah
I am just someone trying to make money out here, you know?

I'm just a bread winner out'chea tryna, yeah
I am just someone trying to make money out here, you know?

I'm just a bread winner out'chea tryna, yeah
I am just someone trying to make money out here, you know?

I'm just a bread winner out'chea tryna, yeah
I am just someone trying to make money out here, you know?
