Young nigga gettin tow up under city lights

These new niggas got a young nigga feeling old
Dranking and driving got me watching out for twelve

Straight Martell got me drunk as hell
If i take a sobriety test i know that imma fail
Then im going to jail
Give my girl the money for the bail
I keep it one hundred
All about my money
Me and my crew come from nothin
Always into somethin
Same shit different day
Bigger grind bigger pay
I stay wit mo shit on my plate
The more you make the more they hate
Young nigga gettin tow up under city lights
Im gettin money
Im livin right
Straight liquor over ice
Do that every night
I dont do this shit for likes nigga this my life
Real niggas know to get this shit by any means
Real nigga im just grinding living out my dreams
