Candy & Corner Stores

(album: Ambaum - 2016)

I ain't been busy in a minute
I been chilling, sipping, living, jerking off and painting pictures (ah)
Everybody talking vision: paper get it, get it, get it
And I'm thinking like, "damn, you should relax"
"I call in, I hear nothing back"
"Most days I spend my time at home"
"Write raps and clear my Google Chrome" (goddamn)
Seventh grade, bumping kush and OJ
Rolling Batman in the bushes, praying nobody looking
'Cept the hoes in homeroom, tell me, "gotta go soon"
Hit the house with dial-up, and I pray it load soon, uh
That's the realest shit I ever wrote
Sneaking in the window when nobody home
Xbox feed the crew all summer
McChickens every meal, get the Double if we stunting
I thank the Lord everyday (everyday)
For the way I was raised (was raised)
I ain't known to quit none, I ain't known to get played
If I didn't do this (do this)
If I never did rap (did rap)
She wouldn't know who I am (I am)
She wouldn't live in my lap

All I know is "get it" I was counting pennies, scraping change, and asking mama for a fifty
Now I hit my dougie, laughing at these bitches all up in my texts asking for some tickets
And them dudes too in my DMs with them white links
Finna make ends, finna do me, and we make cake 'cause it's Ambaum all my bros say:

Oh my, they don't know the whole side
We've been on a whole ride, roller-coasting landmines
So tell me how it feels, and show me something real
And give me something
Something that's worth more than candy and corner stores
Oh my, they don't know the whole side
We've been on a whole ride, roller-coasting landmines
So tell me how it feels, and show me something real
And give me something
Something that's worth more than candy and corner stores

Tampico for breakfast, some Hi-Chews for dinner, some 2K for dessert that's growing up (yah)
Turning down pussy, and kids out in Germany bumping my shit that's blowing up (yup)
And they fuck with us
Marathon a minute, they can't roll with us
And I'm past putting soda in a water cup
Gotta comma on my shit, they acting funny, huh?
And I bet the kids from the back of the class know a lot more 'bout living than anyone (yeh)
Because we've been through it all and came back just to ball in their office to profit off anyone
From smoking Reggie, get Philly (Philly)
To Ecuador, getting silly (silly)
If I'm being honest, the sum of my living's been Classic's, Horchata, and beautiful women
I thank the Lord everyday (everyday)
For putting me in this place (this place)
As much as I love home, I don't think I can stay
It's a big-ass world (ass world)
And I've seen like none (like none)
But I'll be still right here (right here)
Can't forget where I'm from (I'm from)

All I know is "get it" used to split McChickens
Hit the movie theater, steady-switching tickets
Now I hit my dougie, watching Interstellar with the show money couldn't feel no better
Could be you too, I ain't special dude
I just did what they said we couldn't do
Now we got a spot in Heaven saved, but, until our time comes, all my bros say:

Oh my, they don't know the whole side
We've been on a whole ride, roller-coasting landmines
So tell me how it feels, and show me something real
And give me something
Something that's worth more than candy and corner stores
Oh my, they don't know the whole side
We've been on a whole ride, roller-coasting landmines
So tell me how it feels, and show me something real
And give me something
Something that's worth more than candy and corner stores
