No Handouts

(album: The Takeoff - 2020)

(Big Zeeko)

[Nadine Samuels:]
I just wanna hear my mama say, "Baby, you did me proud"
I never had no handouts, you know I built it from the ground up (Ground up)
Now I'm 'bout to build this louder
Hit the spot up, fuck this town up, yeah
I just wanna hear my mama say, "Baby, you did me proud"
I never had no handouts, you know I built it from the ground up
Now I'm 'bout to build this louder
Hit the spot up, fuck this town up, yeah, yeah

[23 Unofficial:]
It's like 7 o'clock on the dot, I'm in the droptop
Gotta watch for blue lights be-cah the block's hot
And it's the middle of the summer
I ain't no Lil Baby but you know I gotta keep a Gunna
Same time I was copping spill
I was taking care of all of my mother's bills
And that's the fucking real
I still stick with the family, no plan B
I see my people struggle and I'm still angry
So I gotta make it out
And I'm still lucky I weren't there when they went to raid the house
Cah my freedom is priceless, I can't play about
Different type of feeling when my mama told me that she proud

Yeah, this a different type of feeling
Shit be coming from the heart, you know I mean it
And if I hurt you in the past, I didn't mean it
No, I swear I didn't mean it

[23 Unofficial:]
I swear you left me in the cold on my worst days
Now you wanna show up 'cause I'm in first place
Went and left me in the dirt
I swear, my heart was filled with hurt
And now I'm singing love songs for the streets like I'm Durk
Like I'm Durkio
Couldn't even get a call and I was hurt you know
Not everything you do is reversible
I'ma take that shit personal, so personal
Because I wouldn't do you how you went and done me
I'm screamin, "Fuck you 'til the end" and it's coming from me
Loyalty up in my veins, I promise, I will never run away
I gave my mama ten K for a holiday

This a different type of feeling
Shit be coming from the heart, you know I mean it
And if I hurt you in the past, I didn't mean it
No, I swear I didn't mean it
