Float
Prof Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not an MC murderer, I just kill a lot
Ripped the spot, call me Mr rips a lot
Kill the block whether I am ill or not
Better tie your fill or not
By my chest 'cause you
Can't stop'em movin' cinderblock
With the loose lip
Candy's round up pool sticks
Straight up stupid, eagles made of bruises
And my momma always told me I can do this
Chase my dreams, high beams
Momma I can choose this
Who rips better than me
I'll let 'em enter the dream
And see what I breath and feel what I see
At the age of 15, a man in me
Had to be born to protect my family
But now he's asking me
And now I'm askin' back
How we gonna put this fire out, ask 'em that
I'll be the first one there
My sister will be the next to show
Whose next to join the
Lake and Cedar festival
So burn, baby, burn we don't need no water
Let the mother-fucker burn
And another mothers turn
To turn the other cheek
To learn by yourself and survive by the week
But I'm alive on the street
Where the talk is cheap
And sick of swimmin' bitch I float

Whoa, the days are bright
But when I sleep got the moon at night
And when I wake got another day
Whoa oo oooah learn from mistakes
I got pictures in my pockets
Got money for good causes
Ah la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaah

So now my poppa's gone again
Gone like a lotta men still got family
But no house to put my problems in
And once again I'm a nomad
I hold that cold, vocab, and make cold raps
I hold that to myself i sing a song of an
Eagle with his wings clipped
A man who has been stripped
Seven years welfare, single mother
Four children, college
We don't need no help here
Show me the definition of some hard work
I'll show you my mother livin'
On this hard earth, but
Yes, What a success
Four kids raised in the best of the best
And Anastasia, you can count on me
Give you the strength that I have found in me
And probably I can be the man
That raised you and brought you
Up with his bare hands, but
Yes, You can rest in peace
I'm finally the strong man he meant me to be
And effortlessly, he taught a lesson to me
Nothin' in life is penalty free
And I've gladly paid my dues
I'm waiting for the sunshine to come
Around and shine my shoes

Whoa the day's are bright
But when I sleep got the moon at night
And when I wake got another day
Whoa-o oh, learn from mistakes
I got pictures in my pockets




Got money for good causes
Ah la la da da da da da da da da da daaaah
