Prelude
Richard P. John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All these niggas talking bout real niggas
They ain't never smoke never chill with em
Niggas learn everything from house niggas
Yeen ain't learn shit from a field nigga, ill nigga
I was like Bob tryna build niggas
Now I get paid just to kill niggas
Yeen ain't got game yous a pill nigga
Bad bitch look lame to a real nigga
I was on the low tryna save it up
When I used to hit the stains I was cleaning up
Talking bout fly better brang me up
Shit dry clean only bitch hang it up
Smoking on the sour made my momma sad
Ain't the only one momma shit I was sad
Looking like a stripper with an empty bag
Made a nigga wanna get plenty cash
I was outside with the future felons
Whole buncha drug dealing shooters with him
Man's was getting hit no matter who was with him
Fam this shit is real fuck a euphemism
Never made time for a bum bitch
'Til she had friends she could come with
Ugly bitch head gon be dumb lit
Guarantee somebody dumping in, loving it
Boy this ain't McDonald's put a rub on it
Nigga tryna catch a bug put a glove on it
Nigga here now fuck who was on it
Now these niggas tighter than the pussy on a good woman
SHEESH
I be on the beach so my bitch can tan, listen fam
Nigga break jaws like mister hand
I can turn a ho into a sister act simple fact
Nigga had juice since a little snap
Niggas spend bread try and flip it back
Keep making songs niggas living that




Homies in the feds can't get it back
Put a rock on your head try and milly that
