GOOD LIFE ’16

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Look

[Verse 1]
The only SoundCloud rapper this good
I don't wear it proudly, that's just where they found me
Out in Dirty County where the mud get murky
Better move with a purpose 'cause them boys steady lurkin'
In the 9
I heard numbers don't lie
My dotted line ain't come with a cosign
Know I got the drive, I'm running the stop signs
Thought I seen God, that was a sight for sore eyes
Where I'm from, we ain't have Eazy-E
It was Pop, Boatwright, Earl Price, and Junior Pete
Who we wanted to be
Iced out, rolling on dubs, giving money to the kids so the hood eat free
And all the birds come clean in my dreams, huh? Yeah
They don't know about me
They don't know my story, shit got gory in the Sly
Bullets hitting windows, mama holding me down
Coming home late from work, our door kicked, shit real on this side
Weird nigga and a cool nigga at the same time, gotta swallow my pride
They gotta feel me this time, this shit deeper than rhymes
This way deeper than who the best and who up next, dog, I'm focused
Prayers up, he got wet, they supe'-soaked him
Swimming in the land of the sharks or with crabs in the bucket if you lucky

[Chorus]
Where the sun goes down
Heroes eventually slide
And dope boys pay they tithes
Where the slugs all gold, but it ain't all smiles
So if you scared of more than God
Boy, don't come outside
'Cause it's up
Yeah
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Granny on my line and she sending me scriptures
She a Jehovah witness, so is my mama's sister
Ironic, I was never religious 'cause it seemed so distant
Rather be in the Creek with my niggas
I peeped the hypocritics, they never listen
My heart is dark, I gotta Aunt Viv it
Walking timid in conversation with Christians
God complex how they judge and render a sentence
Medicate daily, my meditation is prayer
Like I hit shawty raw, now I'm prayin', dodgin' the scare
Highway to Heaven, I'm thinkin' I'll take the stairs
Gotta pace it out, got way more living to share
But back to the family business
My granny got favorites out of her grandchildren
My favorite aunt drink, but missed her niece B-day pictures
But I'm afraid as a child, I compromised her kiddies
New Year's Eve, mama dragging me to church
Wasn't with it, but a voice had to call my bluff
I'm like fuck it, I guess I'll try my luck
I mean I did buy a Bible, but ya boy been stuck
Sitting in the pews, preacher man preaching
Sound like he talkin' to me, but I'm on defense
Now I'm out of body, but feel it deep down inside me
On my first time joining a church, I seen Zion

[Chorus]
Where the sun goes down
Heroes eventually slide
And dope boys pay they tithes
Where the slugs all gold, but it ain't all smiles
So if you scared of more than God
Boy, don't come outside
'Cause it's up
Yeah
It's up
Look

[Verse 3]
My life flashed before my eyes
Halloween 2016, I'll tell y'all why
Another day selling shoes, y'all know how I do
Or so I thought
Early AM, making a drop
Dudes had the drop on me
Staking out for weeks or months, I can't call it
Barely hear the footsteps, got my AirPods in
Thought it was a prank or a joke of sorts
Another behind the car, eyes no remorse
Hands up like, "You got it"
I can see it in his eyes he wanna try it, I pray that he don't
Ran off, second shooter on me, though
Shirts pulled over they heads like Cornholio
I know that look, he got an itch
All it take is a twitch
Of the finger, then I'm lying
Face down in a ditch
Not a singer, all I'm thinking
Let me go, I won't snitch
Where is God? Kind of need Him
I don't see him, this is it
Now I'm running off, hope I don't Ricky'd
Left all alone, nobody to come and get me
I'm pissed off, who am I gon' call?
Feeling like Tre with my Boyz in Da Hood with me
Allegedly, I might've had folks looking for 'em
Then I seen 'em on the news, we went to the same school
They hit two more spots later that night
And I'm the only one that they ain't shoot
God is good
