Tears for ODB |
Tears for ODB, drug-induced poetry |
What’s the use? |
Strung-out from that drug abuse, woe is me |
80's baby, so I know my pops was gettin' high |
In the 90's, me and mama barely gettin' by |
2000's I was concentratin' more on gettin' fly |
Gettin' bitches, gettin' rich to get the shit I couldn’t buy |
You know the story, you know my allegory |
I was sent from Heaven with a set of horns, they’d better warn y’all |
I’m here for more than just to kick some witty metaphors, dawg |
This more of the type of shit you spit to set a war off |
‘Cause niggas be poor, get money and still don’t know |
Why the fuck they can’t cop a house, the system meant to lock us out |
But I’m knockin' down the door, strapped up with a four-four |
Robin Hood, shit and yeah, I’m ‘hood rich |
That’s good enough to stay in new kicks and a good whip |
Get good head from a good bitch, I give two shits, I’mma tell you straight up |
Straight up |
Straight up, aye, any chance I’mma take it |
Rather die before I fake it |
They say life is what you make it, bitch, but I’m just tryna make it |
Straight up |
Straight up |
Straight up, aye, any chance I’mma take it |
Rather die before I fake it |
They say life is what you make it, bitch |
Lord have mercy on my soul, what I’ve done and what I’ve seen |
My life has tumbled into that which only you could intervene |
I put my heart in senseless things: money, bitches and street shit |
Fascinated by beef, sad to say I won’t be shit |
Grew up in this bitch without a pot to piss in, no toilet |
How ironic, I took a lot of shit, like a bottom bitch |
Or a model chick, high off coke |
They lockin' sons up for less, I don’t care how y’all cope |
But yet I still peddle this dope and these pills |
I’ll never know how sittin' comfy on that Oprah seat feels |
More than likely be on Most Wanted posters, we still |
Holdin' on to old dreams of bein' Hova, be real |
We the forgotten souls, bottom of the totem poles |
Left for dead, some niggas fled, people said they sold their souls |
I just think they found a better way, Lord knows I never pray |
But sometimes I be wishin' I could levitate, I’ll take it straight up |
Straight up |
Straight up, aye, any chance I’mma take it |
Rather die before I fake it |
They say life is what you make it, bitch, but I’m just tryna make it |
Straight up |
Straight up |
Straight up, aye, any chance I’mma take it |
Rather die before I fake it |
They say life is what you make it, bitch |
