Lighters

(Album: Paint The City Blue - 2018)

[Vere ]
It's like I'm slowly getting closer to my real dreams
They say I'm slowly getting noticed but I'm still me
Double xl (XXL) I call it mumble xl
Don't put me next to these phoney rappers addicted to pills
Bitch I'm reincarnated, you think me and god made it
Middle finger to the law cause I know them bitches all hate it
Will I make it in this world, could we change this world?
She give me loyalty, that's why I'm faithful to that girl
Getting all the drama, murda murda swerving drama
I've been put here on this earth so I can go and bless my daughter
My son's looking at me like he's looking for that answer
Imma put us on til' we can get all up in that mansion
Imma put ut on til' we get multiple advances
God's looking for me while I'm speaking to the masses
I see these youngins' fucking with me got my logo tatted
I came up on some weed and then she hit me with the address

Put your lighters up high one time let me see em' let's go
For the gangsters in the streets tryna' make it out the ghetto let's go
Put your lighters up high in the sky time let me see em' let's go
For the gangsters in the streets tryna' make it out the ghetto let's go

Yo, why your baby momma use your kids as a weapon
Soon as they see you move on they wanna go start acting reckless
I pray to god for protection, they pray to god for them checks
If it don't make no money, well I guess it don't make no sense
It's the first of the month, she bought some shoes and a dress
Now she spent all your money so now she's sending you threats
Now she's posting about you let's see what comments it gets
Now you getting extorted, fuck it I call it finesse
Ain't no time for regrets, just the time to address
The repercussions when you playing with the life of them kids
I grew up roughly
My mother never put no man above me I was lucky
I ran through the city it was blue but it was sunny

Put your lighters up high one time let me see em' let's go
For the gangsters in the streets tryna' make it out the ghetto let's go
Put your lighters up high in the sky time let me see em' let's go
For the gangsters in the streets tryna' make it out the ghetto let's go

Ayo I just wanna say middle finger to everybody who didn't wanna give me a job at that time
I caught the bus at six o'clock in the morning, they talking about "man you got tattoos on your face man, I can't give you a fucking job"
I'm like "what? What you mean you call me in a week?"
