Verse 1
Gm
work, hoes at work
I spend a day buzzed
wishing for Nikes in different flavors
Uncles named Larry,
that really never grabbed me
she really never had me
Scoot or Bae- Bae
With weight so they weigh they
This is Chicago in the heyday
I guess that I was JJ
young girls with Penny figures
stacked upon each other
other that we love so much
these drugs gonna touch
ain't really thug that much
than a Dutch to clutch
for a couple of years
with a couple of beers
now I gotta pay back loans
same shit they own
they click that chrome

In my defense, yo, I had to hit that zone
I'm good working with my hands

Verse 3
Gm
from out of towners
It's hard to stay grounded
that's why old folks down us
the force that surrounds us
Ain't with us,
their names and scriptures
only to return through birth
wish she knew what it was worth
With a walk that suggests head,
cheese to get bread
weaves and less dreads
Kinda scary,
but I could tell her soul hurt
growin' up she got to know hurt
hate is overt
so her mother he strikes
who liked crimes and figures
In the ass, it used to be thicker
had a passion to sing
a casket in dreams
Blacks that lack
but we forgot the theme
for a garbage team
herself on this corner
