Blind Nights

(album: The Backend Child - 2019)

Yea
Yea yea yea yea yea

Late at night I counted 10 with the lights off
That shit was dirty I still ain't think 'bout grabbing the Lysol
You not in my league if I was Mike I still wouldn't bite y'all
They didn't care when I was broke declined every phone call
I'm tryna kill all my windshields
I see the hate so I just turn on my defrost
I think 'bout death I'm but still here
My whole crew, they got hair but I'm still screaming "We Ball"

They gon' think I'm with the Migos want me takeoff
Cause [?] me I quit playing ball
My plug fronted me 50 like Zach Randolph
Ain't got no job but if he play my youngin's laying off
We see the envy through windows
Sometimes we hate to go outside (yea)
My niggas ain't nothing like a cheerleader
but they can tell you they caught bodies (yea)
Balenciagas cost a grand just to step
So you gotta take the elevator
And when we move we got assault rifles
Yea, and they gon' shoot if we get aggravated (aggravated assault)
Ain't wanna wake up we had dreams 'bout getting rich
Them youngboys pull up on yo' Boulevard so quick
I wish the neighbors couldn't smell 'cause they so noisy in the hood
NoCap forever keep his metal he ain't going Hollywood
Keep my Glock 9 but don't wanna be like Kodak
Lil' Joe can probably ride on snow he keep a ski mask
2 grand for features [?] and Ollie y'all couldn't beat that (come beat that)
Now I got water like a ocean they ain't see that
That day she cheated on me I read Janae messages
but I ain't wanna be like Lucci (ain't wanna be like Lucci)
Yea, in my hood we just buying more clips
like we can't make it out this movie

Youngboys had dreams 'bout being rich
Pull up to yo' Boulevard so quick
Oh yeah
([?] work for hire)
Young niggas had dreams 'bout being rich
(real shit)
To the Boulevard so quick
(Know what I'm saying a nigga came from nothin')
Yeah
(And we don't see this)

Late at night I counted 10 with the lights off
That shit was dirty I still ain't think 'bout grabbing the Lysol
You not in my league if I was Mike I still wouldn't bite y'all
They didn't care when I was broke declined every phone call
I'm tryna kill all my windshields
I see the hate so I just turn on my defrost
I think 'bout death I'm but still here
My whole crew, they got hair but I'm still screaming "We Ball"

I know some niggas rather make the news than BET
They don't wanna see the dying all them niggas know it's beef
Walk with guns on they side no sidewalk they know the streets
I was tryna stay strong when Slim died I cried for weeks
He couldn't swim he just dived in the water
The lifeguard couldn't save him
Yea, he couldn't swim he just dived in the water
The lifeguard couldn't save him
Took them folks to trial 'cause I'ma buy my whole gang jewelry
My momma handed me my gun so I know she worried
Dead faces on me but I don't wear no Ed Hardy
Only time that lil' hoe see a ring if she meet Jeff Hardy
I run with crips they probably won't even walk the red carpet
All my niggas gone they popping percs like they a pack of smarties
40 bullets come from Walmart but still a hit our target
My jewelers right next door to me I hear 'em throwing a party
Snow bunny let me fuck she was energized
They only care what I rap 'bout they don't feel my inner vibes
These shoes ain't got no laces how the hell that nigga get mob ties
Lil' Joe behind the gate I wanna cut the barbwires
Trying ban me from my hood the hell is drum without the sticks
Dion done robbed the whole planet just to go and get a fit
Caught 10 on the Jack-sons I tried to tell 'em this is it
If he shoot at me and miss I get him killed for that brick
The way that nigga creep they think he a sex offender
Dirty cups for the hoes who left I put X's in em
All my shoes came with snakes when I walk I leave venom
Pull out that pussy like driveway never leave in 'em
I see the hate is on they face reminded me of dimples
Assassinate 'em for his watch it was presidential
Don't sip too strong 'cause this codeine I said I don't remember
Them long nights stood on that block we was tryna help the center
