Free Lil A
Moneybagg Yo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, what's going on?
Yeah, first and foremost man, long live-, long live Nuski
Man, you know what I'm saying?
Free me man, you know what I'm saying
Yeah, from the jailhouse to the streets
Man, you know what I'm saying?

First off get the streets together, knew this the game
They know my life a movie, they wanna put me in the frames
Either you gon' live with it or nothing to maintain
We ain't on the same track, you can't land on this train
Just know by swimmin' in the deep end
Let pressure build up, you can't give in
To take this pain away
I'm poppin' Percs' and drinking Henn', yeah
Where I'm from known to make you chase, yeah

You have one minute remaining

And hard times left me traumatized
Three months of being incarcerated when Nuski and my momma died
My soul crying, my brain fried, I can't think
Gotta keep my head above water, I can't let myself sink
Family undefeated 'cause they labeled me a menace
Please don't test me, and they curse you when you coming from them trenches
You was triple crossin' my lil' nigga, when I see 'em, I can't miss 'em
Looking at my mama picture wishing I can kiss her

Yeah, from the jailhouse to streets, man
I'ma come off, alright man you know what I'm saying?
This shit don't stop 'cause a nigga got popped, you know what I'm saying?
Bread Gang the brand




I'ma die it, I'ma lie for it, man
You know what I'm saying? Yeah
