Tales From The South |
Mm, yeah |
Yeah |
I remember when I heard the gunshots |
In the mornin', two o’clock, talkin' to my uncle Fox |
Round the corner, but I never saw the cops |
Only because they sellin' rocks |
Shootin' dice in the corner Friday night |
If I win I can buy a Cheeto with a Sprite |
If I lose then crack on |
So I better roll a seven, or sobriety forget it |
For my loved ones needa buzz quick |
Ronald Reagan not my hero or no man I uplift |
You can idolize that, and make drug deal |
If you wanna get that Escalade with the chrome rim |
If you wanna be gettin' paid with the gold grill |
Just want respect and all that came with thuggin' |
Father yank me by the collar, «Bobby, get your grades up» |
Bags in my potential, quit with all that dumb shit |
Tales from the South |
Tales from the South, South |
Lunch break at my job, the grocery store |
Scannin' social media hurt me for sure |
Twitter showed me «Man killed by the police» |
South Dallas, people wyilin', they caused a riot |
Women screamin', men shoutin' «Stop the violence» |
Stomach turnin', returnin' back on the clock |
Stockin' frozen meat, just happy to be alive |
Got the coldest feet, I got texts from my mom |
Read «Give me a call», I left |
Went to the bathroom, stepped in the stall |
Felt somethin' was wrong |
The Lord just took (Mm) |
How did he die? |
He got shot |
In July, by the cops |
2012, lightbulb went off |
Connect the dots, what the fuck? |
You messin' with my spirit |
Findin' out your cousin died through Twitter |
Tales from the South |
Tales from the South, South |
Yeah |
Wrote a letter to my uncle in a pen |
I ain’t spoke to him in like ten years |
I heard you on the phone, talkin' to my mom |
Put me on the line, askin' how I been |
I said «Man, I been fine, thanks for askin' me» |
I ask him how he been, he said |
«Fantastic, we happy to see you shine |
Your mother sent me the article |
Hear your name on the radio, damn |
Face is on TV now? |
Man, that shit is amazin' |
Know I’m proud of you |
Your parents proud of you too |
God lookin' down on you |
Rappin', that’s what you do |
That entertainment biz, heard it’s filled up with snakes |
Learn they languages, don’t let them take no food off your plate |
I might be back before your granny dies |
That judge done did me wrong because she gave me life |
This shit ain’t right, but I’ll salute you |
Choose how your story end |
Life in prison, though I was salutatorian» |
Tales from the South |
Tales from the South, South |
Yeah, we from the South-South, South-South |
South-South, South-South |
Yeah, from the South-South, South-South |
South-South, South-South |
Yeah, from the South-South, South-South |
South-South, South-South |
South-South, South-South |
South-South, South-South |
Yeah, from the South-South, South-South |
South-South, South-South |
South-South, South-South |
South-South, South-South |
Yeah |
