lyrics
Jesse (Voiceover #2): Let’s keep the story going y’all. K.A about to hit y’all with a new hot one. Big Jess…
Pre-Verse Intro (Myles): Life is a game of cards/Got you wonderin’ about your stars/And yet it is very hard/The evidence is in your scars
Verse 1 (Guy):
Yeah, we need to make a pick up
So come and pick me up
I’m feeling down brah, I need a pick me up
It’s just the city brah
It’s so insidious
We empty inside, but they don’t pity us
Verse 2 (Roy):
I’m tryna get it right
I’m gonna get a bite
Just tryna make it through the city is the greatest plight
My demons out at night
They tryna stop my fight/But I won’t move without intent, so we don’t get indict
Verse 3 (Guy):
-ted
This life can be so frightening
Cloudy days, plus the rain come with lightening
No lacking
Good enemies, and bad friends
Get out of jail, just to go back in
Verse 4 (Roy):
Yeah, so now we back on the block
Been posted on these corners so we serving up the rock
We on the clock, just like a doc
This game on lock
And if they try to shoot the tool is in my sock
Verse 5 (Guy):
Yeah, driving for miles
Listening to Myles
Can’t even crack a smile
But if this cop crack the trunk, we gon’ get cracked down
Mr. Officer, can you please hear me out? Can you please hear me…out?
Verse 6 (Roy):
Riding in this civic, Myles is giving game on life
He got me contemplating ‘bout the stresses of my trife
Through all the strife
We dawgs like Phife
I wanna be a man of steel but now I’m losing to this evil…knife
Verse 7 (Guy):
We been friends since kids
Now you gotta kid
I just gotta crib
You gotta crib with a crib
Man, something’s gotta give
I said man, you gotta think about the kids
Verse 8 (Roy):
I got a kid
Can’t do a bid
Ru told me I was finna be a pops and so I slid
I need a map
Just tryna rap
Can’t see while moving forward so I’m going hard like…crack
Verse 9 (Guy):
Black men
Feeling like Men in Black
back-to-back
I promise I got your back
We don’t need no crew
Yo, just me and you
Just a plan, so tell me what you wanna do?
Verse 10 (Roy):
I’m like the glue
We staying true
Although we in a zoo
Listen, here’s what we gon’ do
We taking turf
This ride a surf
Been lethal since my birth
These niggas softer than a…nerf
Verse 11 (Guy):
So yes I feel it, we’ll make them feel it
Fulfilled my pockets is filling
I’m broke and I’m chillin
I swear to God
I’m plotting on a million
I’m taking the building
I’m tryna feed my children’s children’s children
Man, had them set up
But somehow, someway, we got set up
Somehow, someway, we got set up
Somehow, someway, it was a set up
Was it me, was it you? Was it us?
Myles (Outro): You gotta trust yourself and you can only build the trust…for your children’s children’s children…and…moral of the story is…self-worth…
