Trippin
N.U.T.E. Lyrics

Retrogression
Let's go back to an earlier state

Back when a bunch of cats was jumping to this world via hate
Back when gang-banging was prevalent and violent crimes were common

When I'm looking at the TV, man seem like everybody really love it
When I watch TV, it seems like people are obsessed with violence and aggression

Wave they flags high, for the world to see
People are proud of where they come from and want others to see it

Even though we know we don't want our son and little girls to be
Despite the pride, we don't want our children to follow in the same violent path

Bet they want no funk, but they could get shook up like a seizure
Even if they don't want trouble, they could easily get caught up in it

If bangin' retrogresses, now the color's no longer measures
If gang-banging becomes less prevalent, people will still find other ways to divide themselves

Stresses of rival, says get weapon, go get the Tec, and press it
In times of conflict, people turn to violence and are told to arm themselves

To make sure they get the message, why don't these motherfuckers
To ensure that their point is heard, why don't these people

Rep and Stets know they faking just like they not afraid don't f with Texas
People who claim to be from a certain place and tough, but are really faking it

But still oblivious and fans see free
But people are still ignorant and misled by what they see in media

But real life is mo' serious than a damn TV
But the consequences of real life violence are more serious than what is portrayed on TV

They was family, used to love you
These were once people close to you

Swear to God that they would never put nothing above you
They swore to be loyal to you above all else

It's just to, see your successes, then 'bout plug you
But when they see your success, they become jealous and turn against you

Put slugs to, cause they ain't with you so now it's fuck you
They'll use violence against you simply because they don't support you

I get so much love, I get to searching
Being loved by many makes me more cautious and vigilant

For the evil 'cause is coming, I can see right through the curtain
I can see through people's intentions and can sense danger approaching

Envy can equal murder, she love when they preferred her
Jealousy can lead to deadly outcomes, and some people thrive on being the center of attention

Buried in the hood could be you
You could easily become a victim of violence in your own neighborhood

When I'm 'sposed to be here in fun
When I'm supposed to be enjoying myself

I'm standing near a gun
I have to be constantly aware of the potential for violence

Never am I clueless
I'm always on alert and never let my guard down

No matter how big I get, or how much money I make
Even if I become successful and wealthy

The seepage will always find a way
The potential for violence and aggression will always be present in the world

When they all talking loud
When people are escalating a situation by talking too much

Feelin' proud cause no one is gunnin'
Feeling confident because no one is threatening violence

And the club beefing with the woman
When there is conflict with women at the club

Ey, I can feel the trippin' comin'
I can sense that the situation is about to become violent

But the haters fill with anger, I can feel it's about to worsen
People who are envious and angry are only going to escalate the situation

The bigger that I get, I can feel these tricks is stake for certain
The more successful I become, the more people will try to take advantage of me

Tips with lead and head it to kill foes
People will use guns to intentionally kill their enemies

They real hoes plus they fake fuckers like dildos
People who pretend to be tough and loyal are actually fake and untrustworthy

Facin', life sentences are the case man
People are facing life in prison for their violent crimes

I keep my eyes open for the bullshit
I'm always on the lookout for suspicious behavior

Everywhere he comes from
I'm wary of anyone coming from anywhere

Yo, I can feel it comin'
I can sense that the situation is about to turn violent

Ey, I can feel the trippin' comin'
I can sense that the situation is about to become violent
