Giant Slide

(album: The Price Of Tea In China - 2020)

One plant after another has abandoned Detroit
First time we ever made a thousand dollars in one day...
227, Blockworks
In other crimes or violence also, Detroit is among the statistics
Uh-uh

Tapped in like a touchscreen, black Benz but the guts green
Half brick of that Justine, off of crack, still call a fiend collect
Where them young niggas got a couple hot jingles
In they pocket and they keep it mad
Street dreaming, need a Lamborghini
Used to dream of Jeannie, now I dream of cash
Name hold weight in the streets everywhere I'm at, I don't need a pass
700, that's a Yeezy Boost, 350 stashed in Adidas bag
Had to find a whole 'nother route (Yeah)
Mapping out a whole 'nother town
Slapping off a whole 'nother line
Trapping out my whole mother house
See niggas out in public, they crew look like a boy band
I caught my first 300 grits from my lil' sister's boyfriend
Invested in myself, them thousands just gon' bring me more bands
Back on my way to Syracuse to holler at the Orange Man (The juice)
Cause in my line of work, gotta know when to sever ties
He killed my older cousin Rick, so me and his beef never died
That steel drum on the SKatie, it hold a seven-five
Purp and Grady told me let it ride, but shit, I'd rather slide (Yeah)

Cold game in these streets, kept it by my side
Now I cross my T's and I dot my I's
Catch 'em from long range, let that chopper ride
When them doors swing, that's a giant slide
Nigga reaching for my chain, must be tryna die
Now they snitching on James to the homicide
Let that pole bang, wipe the tears from his mama eyes
And kill his whole gang, that's a giant slide
They traveled in packs, and they've hunted on the streets
Giant slide
Of Detroit from a very early age
Giant slide
Giant slide, uh

Pitching drums outside was my 9 to 5
AR wake a sleeping giant up and chop him down to size
Sweep your street then mop it up, we'll make it out alive
Big drum on my four-five, that's a giant slide
ConCreature, Boldy James, Yola Gang, Bonnie, Clyde
Wanted by the homicide, only time my mama lied
When cops asked when she last saw me, off of Outer Drive
Last night, somebody said they caught me hopping out the ride
Slide down on a opp, pop his top, drop his guys
Cut 'em up with that chainsaw, we did the Cha-Cha Slide
Same niggas chasing clout who still think Pac alive (Haha)
Don't give no fuck about no thot, you are not the bride
Got straight drop, and that top, for the 95
Getting high while I ride down the I-9-5
Now we out in Memphis, Tenn, future looking bleak
It took a week but when they caught up with him, he got put to sleep

Cold game in these streets, kept it by my side
Now I cross my T's and I dot my I's
Catch 'em from long range, let that chopper ride
When them doors swing, that's a giant slide
Nigga reaching for my chain, must be tryna die
Now they snitching on James to the homicide
Let that pole bang, wipe the tears from his mama eyes
And kill his whole gang, that's a giant slide
Giant slide
Giant slide
Giant slide
