Till They Told Us

(album: 40RTY - 2020)

I'm just trying to keep the people, moving like U-haul
Represent KY, everybody, like you all
Listening to Nappy, bumping us, in the pool hall
Find me at the bar, or smoking pot by the fooseball
The way they killing us, I had to cut, the news off
Be careful, who you trust, because, I think them fools lost
Following the blind, is what, I wouldn't suggest
And all my eggs, in one basket, I wouldn't invest
Leaving fools, in the dust, follow through, is a must
Stick and move, like a boxer do, and aim for his guts
Life is, what you make it, better take it, as such
No time for hatred, in the matrix, when you making, this much
Split the pie, as we bake it, maybe say, a prayer for us
Like Goliath and David, lately I'm prepared to bust
Like the rack on Dolly Parton, pardon me, as we discuss
The answers to ya problems, over drinks and lots of drugs

We've seen times where love is all we had
Yuh, when we showed up, we didn't know we was po' until they told us
Take my time, this groove was built from scratch
Yuh, from the floor up, riding til the wheels fall, my nicca so what

I'm in a sprinter riding off into the winter
Vaping like I never used to smoke penners
Sometimes I traded weed for my dinner
I couldn't go home unless I go a winner
Behind Mrs. Winners I became a sinner
Country fried steak with the gravy center
While Bagging up weed wit my neighbor Jenna
Thinking life is good look at what It render
But Over time wore on my soul tho
Found myself mo and mo solo
Chasing money never got me anywhere
The most important things was already there
Graduation cards had a dub in em
Hand me down clothes had love in em
Hem kinda put a flood in em
But wear em best you can fo Lil cuz get em

We've seen times where love was all we had
Yuh, when we showed up, we didn't know we was po' until they told us
Take my time, this groove was built from scratch
Yuh, from the floor up, riding til the wheels fall, my nicca so what

We've seen times where love is all we had
Yuh, when we showed up, we didn't know we was po' until they told us
Take my time, this groove was built from scratch
Yuh, from the floor up, riding til the wheels fall, my nicca so what

We've seen times where love is all we had
