Check this out man
Yeah

I'mma paint the city blue
I got it writen on my face
They realesed my brother
I said drop me your location
Then i went tru that depression
Suicidal [without] J Rox
I donβ€²t wanna rap no more i wanna pray for little jay rock's

The pot was on the stove
All i ever wanted was that black on black ghost
Visions of me walking on the marble white floors
Wake up in the morning wear versace black robes
I pull up in the wagon haters thought it was a rental
Call up EMC i said whats up with trap central
Call my big homie you can ask for my credential
They come in the limo [tinted, licking continental]
Try to stay above water but it keeps rising
Me gusta la violencia but i keep on south sidin
Fuck social media we gotta move in silence
This for big wheelie 50, 30 no descases

Paint the city blue
Paint the city blue, hell yeah
If you wanna too you can get it too
Hell yeah

Paint the city blue
Paint the city blue, hell yeah




If you wanna too you can get it too
Hell yeah
