Sucks To Be You

(album: While The World Was Burning - 2020)

Told Lee he'd be a millionaire

Sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you
I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance
Running through cartels and jumping through bombshells
I thought we would die growing old, holding hands
It sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you
I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance
Jump over bombshells and running through cartels
Thought we would die growing old, holding hands

The story don't start off great, I'm a gorilla going ape
I'm just a street nigga tryna make it to a milli in all the wrong ways
I'm running all the long plays, they said I was born the wrong shade
I shoulda made it five years ago, my nigga, I was really born late
I used to carry sticks in my clothes, carry work in my shoes
Below the poverty line, what you expect me to do?
Running through this life until twenty-one, twenty-two
Until I had to make a choice, you helped me choose

She said she believe in me, just keep on going
Just make sure when you get there, leave the door open
I said you know who I am, this kid from Brooklyn
I wish you still believed, even though tears are soaking

Sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you
I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance
Running through cartels and jumping through bombshells
I thought we would die growing old, holding hands
It sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you
I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance
Jump over bombshells and running through cartels
Thought we would die growing old, holding hands

So I tell nobody 'bout my dreams, working at the hotel
'Cause I don't think confessions over there might go well
And going back to the hood means that I of course fail
You either kill or you're roadkill, so I said
Moved uptown, Kyra, you gave me a place to stay
Mama kicked me out back then, she did it ungraciously
Came home to all of the locks changed on New Year's Eve
I'm glad we're doing better, we're both okay
I stayed there for like three years, oh, bless her heart and soul
She's worth a pot of gold
She's worth a thousand years of G-Wagons on the road
I made a promise, I'll keep it, won't ever betray those

She said she believe in me, just keep on going
Just make sure when you get there, leave the door open
I said you know who I am, this kid from Brooklyn
I had abandonment issues, you left me broken

Sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you
I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance
Running through cartels and jumping through bombshells
I thought we would die growing old, holding hands
It sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you
I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance
Jump over bombshells and running through cartels
Thought we would die growing old, holding hands

It sucks to be you
