ScHoolboy Q Lyrics

Cuff your chick
This song is about to start, so get ready.

Here comes another DJ Ill Will exclusive
This song is special and unique, and DJ Ill Will wants you to know that.

World premiere you know
This is a new song, and it's the first time anyone has heard it.

It's time like these is really hard
The rapper is going through difficult times and it's hard for him to express himself.

For me to express myself
He uses music as a form of self-expression.

You know if I didn't have music
If he didn't have music, he doesn't know what he would do.

I don't know what I would be doing here
Music is very important to him and it's the reason he's still here.

But I'ma tell you that
He wants to share his story with his listeners.

Aye, let's take it back to them days
He wants to reminisce about the past.

We was drinking water with sugar, no lemonade
They didn't have a lot of money and had to make do with what they had.

Posted on the corner no longer being afraid
They used to be scared of the violence in their neighborhood, but not anymore.

Me and little cousin have
He had a close relationship with his cousin.

Visions of getting paid
They dreamed of making money and getting out of the hood.

But he's gone, my momma told him "Get a phone
His cousin is no longer alive and his mom wants him to be safe.

And that's for a ride
She wants him to call her for a ride instead of walking home.

You don't need to be walking home"
She's worried about his safety.

And there goes the pride of a
He feels ashamed.

Boy in a broken home
His family is not in a good financial situation.

Shot seven times and at times I feel alone
He's been through a lot of trauma and it's affecting him mentally.

Baby brother breathing
His brother is still alive.

He's even the rolling stone
His brother is a bit of a rebel.

Sis staying strong, she keeping us in control
His sister is holding the family together.

Mommy with them now but she
His mom is no longer alive.

Wasn't ready to go
Her death was unexpected.

When I see her not breathing
He's reliving the moment of her death.

I'm screaming telling her "No!"
He's in pain and wishing she was still alive.

I know she still waiting to
He feels she's still watching over him.

See her baby girl blow
She would have been proud of his success as a rapper.

'Cause every time I'm flowing I'm
He feels like his mom is with him every time he raps.

Feeling her in my soul
Her memory is a big influence on his music.

And this is dedication for the two
This song is a tribute to his mom and cousin.

Top down while I cruise
He's driving around with the top down, enjoying life.

Keep it going, continue to make moves
He wants to keep pushing himself to be successful.

Watch me just groove
He's enjoying the moment and having fun.

I wish I could make the pain go away
He's still hurting from the loss of his loved ones.

So I pray let everything be okay let's just
He's turning to prayer in order to deal with his pain.

Let's just let's just
He just wants to feel at peace.

I know we all struggle so we hustle
Everyone goes through tough times and has to work hard to make it.

Just remember and trust that God loves you
He's reminding his listeners to have faith in God.

Let's just let's just
He wants to focus on the positive and let go of the negative.

Let's just groove
He wants everyone to enjoy life and dance along to his music.

See I could just get off some sad shit
He could talk about depressing things, but he doesn't want to.

But I rather give you the real spit
He wants to be honest and genuine with his listeners.

See life is thick in the
Life is difficult in the hood.

Hood so I lost weight, cross state
He's been through a lot of stress and hard times.

Riding through another town with
He's driving through a different neighborhood.

The false rental plates
He's renting a car with fake plates because he can't afford his own car.

Sprinkle right over the bladder
He's smoking weed.

Like funnel cakes
He's enjoying himself.

Feel great huh? Die with the bad brakes
He's having fun, but he knows it's dangerous.

Hop out lookin' fly than a motherfucker
He's confident and feeling good about himself.

Last real nigga alive
He's proud to be himself and true to himself.

Yeah I'm the motherfucker
He's not afraid to be himself.

I thought I told you I'm the hottest
He knows he's talented and successful.

Guaranteed to shine
He knows he'll be successful no matter what.

Left the whole game polished
He's made a big impact on the music industry.

Turned it up some notches then
He keeps getting better and better.

Send it to the doctors
He's unstoppable and can't be contained.

Basically I'm super ill
He's very talented and skilled.

Dizzying off a couple pills
He's high on drugs.

Huh, I put that on my mother's only son
He's serious and telling the truth.

Hop out, spray the crowd, I'm the only one
He stands out and takes control of the crowd.

Hoover Crip style still eating at Mr chows
He's still living the same lifestyle as before, but with more money.

Ride around, sit it down
He's taking a break and enjoying life.

Still let the money pass
He's not focused solely on money and fame.

Look, I started from the project
He came from a poor background.

Post selling rocks
He used to sell drugs for money.

Now I'm the project Pope, white city
He's successful and respected in his hometown.

We're supposed to kill for our color
There's a lot of gang violence and pressure to be loyal to one's race.

It's nothing but halo tips and politics
He sees the violence as pointless and unfair.

So acknowledge it
He wants his listeners to be aware of the negative effects of gang culture.

I smoke kush for the fuck of it
He's smoking weed just because he enjoys it.

See my girlfriend with the homie
He's suspicious of his girlfriend cheating on him.

Nigga fuck a bitch
He's angry and doesn't trust women.

Why? On a whole 'nother level
He's not like other rappers and is above the drama.

Look, am on fire like I'm
He's confident and successful.

Walking with the devil
He's a bit wild and dangerous.

I'm grimey but I got my angels behind me
He's not perfect, but he has people who care about him and support him.

You eyeing me, shots to your dome
He's not afraid of his enemies and will retaliate if necessary.

Sleep comedy
He's not scared of anyone and is always ready for a fight.

I know the haters wanna see me in a box
People are jealous of his success and want to see him fail.

Coz I'm paid never slipping
He's successful and careful with his money.

Boy I'm flipping with the rock
He's making money and enjoying his success.

Got ye, see the Jay Rock whipping in the pot
Jay Rock is cooking drugs.

Got game man
He's talented and skilled.

You know my nigga balling on the block
His friend is successful and doing well.

Like a sinner no it don't stop
He's going to keep doing what he's doing no matter what anyone says.

You can tell the haters they can
He's not afraid of his enemies.

Catch me on Top Dawg
He's part of the Top Dawg Entertainment record label and is still successful.
