Thornton Street
(专辑: Just Until.... - 2021)
Yeah, uh Hey, yo Alright My mom had a
nigga at the
age of fifteen Was forced to drop out of school to take care of a
king She had a
desire to sing and I
admire these things At times a
nigga feel guilty, I
retired her dreams Imagine, sky's the
limit, you mind your business Then you pregnant with a
street nigga baby, the
odds against us But nevermind 'cause your son be living upper echelon They be talking 'bout me from the
barbershops to hair salons Real impact, something you never could fathom My first album went gold, I
think my next one is platinum And it's okay that you ain't think that I
would make it in rapping You wanted me to go school so I
could make something happen I
understand it, the
way shit is going, you couldn't plan it But raising two kids on your own, how did you manage? From apartments to trailers, was living with granny Years later, front row, it's how we sit at the
Grammy's They say, we all gotta cry sometimes Unfortunate, when our loved ones die, wish I
could buy some time I
be stressing so of course I
get high sometimes Mix the
Puma with Givenchy to get fly sometimes And yeah, we all gotta live someday Woke up plotting on my next move, we tryna get rich one day Have a
house with a
wife and some kids one day Damn, I
got something to say Ayo, section eight with foods stamps, refrigerator was packed You hate it when I
talk about this, but I'm stating the
facts Before I
dropped "Family Matters," should've sent them a
text I
guess that shit was only right that the
resentment was next My pops taught me a
lot, I
give that nigga respect He went to prison for a
while and used to call me collect And yeah, we lived in different states but we would always connect When I
got robbed at gunpoint, you took the
bust up the
check Almost lost my favorite aunt because of shit that I
said Niggas forming their opinions based on shit that they read I
be dealing with a
lot, I
take this shit to the
head No complaining, though this shit is ultra draining My whole life is a
canvas, I'm supposed to paint it You can't tell? I'm the
new Jean-Michel My future is a
sure thing like the
don Miguel This ain't background music, boy, these rhymes are felt They say, we all gotta cry sometimes Unfortunate, when our loved ones die, wish I
could buy some time I
be stressing so of course I
get high sometimes Mix the
Puma with Givenchy to get fly sometimes And yeah, we all gotta live someday Woke up plotting on my next move, we tryna get rich one day Have a
house with a
wife and some kids one day Damn, I
got something to say Uh, yeah, you know, uh This four-pack, man It's just, all songs from the
heart, dawg Just something to hold y'all over 'til I'm done with the
album Man, truth be told, uh I'm more of a
perfectionist than anything But um, next body of work coming soon From A
