S.O.A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heard they played his mom he came back Ghangis Khan
When we making songs it's like niggas making bombs
The money talking I don't gotta tell her take it off
My niggas dead nice I want the loaf fuck a bread slice
You need to stop it like red lights
You trying not give us cred right
Oh now I get it
I'm in a ghost you can say I come in spirit
Why would I listen to ya music I don't wanna hear it
Ya new shit about to go on clearance
If I was in ya position I would take the punches and roll wit it
I caught a bad break I had demons that I can't shake
I canceled sessions that I can't make
On the road to riches and I can't wait
Being me is something that I can't fake
I know that's something that they can't take
My niggas hustling n flipping we got birds you can get
It might be coke in the whip you can get served on the strip
Niggas don't want me to pop gotta be personal shit
Im around I mean I'm new to the town
Ice grill and frowns you already know ain't no playing around
A bunch weirdos carrying arms with air holes
With a face full of facial hair you know the Philly beard
Hoodies with kufis under
Real street but righteous than a motherfucka
Tell you to ya face pussy you cant hustle here
Where the work at Grey hound I had to bus it here
Glass table full a work and no use for no silver ware
Long lines shorty got powder on her face
And said she on go time
Light on her feet and I aint talking LA gear
Off the balcony running laps you running circle scraps
The bars was raised status quo
Its No Gimmicks and then there's the others
This is no scrimmage or a away game from home base
Bars over bars and more bars
You better try to get away
Water to strong so go under
See the light before you feel the thunder
My pen Bethlehem Royal insane asylums
Niggas be dry snitching on they songs
Like they working with sarge
Life is a deck cards don't play 52 pick up with yours
Niggas want be popular on Ig with money phones
Until they in hospital bed looking like veggies over done
Body strong brain dead cause something he did
Tombstone say catching clout did the boy wrong
Say catching clout did the boy wrong
Ayo I broke so many hearts I loss value in mine
I was stuck on the grind I should of valued the time
Eviction notice taught me early how to follow them signs
It was times we had to turn our cheeks like we was blind
My brain is like the octagon except its only demons fighting
Im Derrick Henry with the rock my whole team is Titans
This record label Indy we got dope if you using
New Jaguar with my bitch down Houston
My life is like the AFC South but I'm a Bills fan
Usually recouping large amounts when them pills land
I came out the mud n ran a mile through some real sand
Numbers cross if it fit I need respect when the deal planned
I'm not big on designer but I buy it on occasions
Im more hoody n uptowns prepared for situations
In Niagara Falls its always dumb points a nigga making
And then a life is taken
Niggas lack being artistic
So gun shots n bodies go with pictures that they painting
Same story a million times it's like I'm watching Jason
I seen some scary scenes myself where god cant even help
We wanted every fiend for self then indictments hit the shelf
Its either fold under pressure boy or tighten up ya belt
Gotta play the cards thats dealt especially with the street shit
Especially with ya secrets
Cause niggas don't love you like you think
And that just be they secret
Smoking different kind of leaf like the one on a Molson can
Niggas falling off like the labels on these clothing brands
Me shorty bagging up you never catch us holding hands
