Surf
Vince Staples w/ Kilo Kish Lyrics

Broke and all I had was my homeboys
I was financially unstable and only had the support of my friends

Either build or destroy, what you going for?
You have a choice in life – whether you want to create or destruct

Just a pawn and a plan tryin' to hold on
I feel like I am being used for someone else's agenda and struggle to stay afloat

When the smoke clear why was the war fought?
After all the chaos, why did we go through the struggle in the first place?

Bout time you abandon the folklore
It's about time you let go of outdated beliefs and traditions

How you rich but your bitch in an old Ford?
You claim to have wealth, yet your significant other drives an outdated car

How you black sellin' crack for the white man?
As a Black person, how can you justify selling drugs for the benefit of white people?

How you real, wouldn't kill for your right hand?
You claim to be genuine, but would you not defend your closest ally?

On the stand sworn in with ya right hand
You promised to tell the truth with your right hand on the Bible in court

It was all goin' good 'til the rave end
Everything was fine until the party came to an end

Knife scars on ya neck from ya best friend
Your closest friend betrayed you, leaving you harmed

Now it's talk, leave a tec' on ya nightstand
Now all you can do is talk, but I have a weapon ready in case you make a move

Leave a nigga dead to the world 'til his life end
I will eliminate you from existence and no one will remember you

You got it, I armed it, you dreamt it, I start it
You may have had the idea, but I executed it and made it happen

You're missin' the target, what more can you ask me for?
You are not hitting the intended goal and I have already done enough

You want it, my dearly departed
You desire something from me, but it is too late

I cocked back and shot it, what more can you ask me for?
I already did what you wanted, what else could you possibly want from me?

More black kids killed from a pill than the FEDs in the projects
Prescription drugs are killing more Black youth than the government in poor communities

In the planned parenthood playin' God with ya mom's check, you ain't even been to prom yet
Planned Parenthood is making decisions about your mother's health with her money, and you haven't even experienced normal childhood milestones yet

Sixteen, heard you wanna be a star girl
You are only 16 and want to achieve fame

What he charge for the dream that you bought girl
What price did he make you pay for the dream he sold you?

What's the price for a life in this dark world?
What is the cost of living in a dangerous and harsh world?

Couple hundred where I come from, how you sleep when the sun down?
In my neighborhood, only a few hundred dollars can mean life or death. How can you be at peace when darkness falls?

I ain't really tryna judge, they be lookin' for somebody you can love
I am not here to pass judgment, but everyone wants to find someone to love

He was lookin' for somebody he could fuck
He was only looking for someone to have sexual relations with

Took ya body, wouldn't bother with you none
He only wanted your physical body and did not care about you as a person

Spoiled rotten in the bottom of the slums
Living in poor conditions but still having materialistic items and a privileged mindset

Caught up in the fun
Getting caught up in the excitement of the moment without considering the consequences
