Margie's Candy House

(album: The Great Escape - 2023)

Man
Shit, damn (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
Mmm, uh
Al, turn me up
Mmm, man, uh
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Started out at Riverdale, moms flew me from the Bay
When I was young, used to hate it and grew up, then I thanked her
Far away from my pops, thinking 'bout that gray McLaren
I can shed a tear on these tracks, you wouldn't understand it
Gramps had the candy house, Margie's on Harbor Road
Still eat me up inside that I missed her funeral
I know she looking down on me while I'm in this 5.0 (Shit remind me of the old days)
I can't lie, man, my mind gone
I was in a dark place, went hard and found a way (Found a way)
Living out them motels (Motels), cold nights on the blade (I knew that life wasn't for me)
But still I took a chance
Twelve hours on the interstate, then profit ten bands
Calculate another dub, back then, my goal was a hundred
Had to the hit the ground running
Praying they don't hit the spot
I was going through a lot
It was nights I would cry
Probably why I push this black 'Rari down the I-5
What's happenin'?

Real niggas never quit (Damn)
Real niggas play the game, but got goals to go legit (For real)
Real niggas stay on ten (Real niggas stay on ten, for real)
Run that back
Real niggas never quit (Yeah)
Real niggas play the game, but got goals to go legit (Legit)
Real niggas stay on ten (For real, uh, Al, what's happenin'?)
Ayy (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Yeah, I made it out the streets but still gotta watch my back
Road running, touch down safe, then I set up trap
Thinking back, fresh out of jail, but I had the map
I had a plan, second day home, made a couple grand
Pleasant Hill in a motel, pack vacuum sealed
I was getting rich in D.C. while you was cracking seals
I don't glamorize it though, I was praying for a change
Hit fifty burpees in the morning, then I board the plane (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Real niggas never quit (Damn)
Real niggas play the game, but got goals to go legit (For real)
Real niggas stay on ten (Real niggas stay on ten, for real)
Run that back
Real niggas never quit (Yeah)
Real niggas play the game, but got goals to go legit (Legit)
Real niggas stay on ten (For real, uh)

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
