Piano Lessons

[Intro]
Uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh

[Verse One]
Boom-boom, pap, in a land where the criminals roam
Click-clack-pow, six shots as you enter my zone
Mama looking for me but a nigga never home
Too busy stacking up my cream like a empty cone
I’m just a light-skin rebel in the world alone
Ill box-spring something like the honeycombs
Couple pimples on my face to disguise the traits
Catch a body, pop ‘em zits to throw the case away
Two cell phones, you know the drug dealer perks
Tube socks on, where I’m holding all the work
Crazy thing about it all, I’m twelve years old
But I been baking cakes since I could open up a stove
Shot myself too, but me no be from Hollygrove
Come from public housing where the daddies hardly home
Oops, I meant “hardly ever,” damn, I meant “not at all”
Out here day and night, basically, ’til my mama call

[Hook]
As I look around, they don’t do it like me though
Young Piano Lessons, man, I pitch ‘em by the kilo
Your circle’s full of squares, something similar to cee-lo
My cause be the bombs, I can guarantee the C4, ugh
Ugh, they don’t do it like me though
Young Piano Lessons, man, I pitch ‘em by the kilo
Your circle’s full of squares, something similar to cee-lo
My cards be the bombs, I can guarantee the C4

[Bridge]
They like, “Oh, God, why he go so hard?”
“Oh, God, why he go so hard?”
“Oh, God, why he go so hard?”
“Oh, God, why he go so hard?”

[Verse Two]
In my spare time, piano notes take up my airtime
Only thing my pops left is the widow’s peak on my hairline
Kidnapped at a early age, no worries, man, I’ll be fine
See, I’m growing older, man, sometimes I think I’m senile
And I admit, I be wild, my environment makes me foul
Intelligent kid who never got the chance to see how
Families live, as it ensues, yo, I’m making moves
But never catch me in your box, word to those kangaroos
Like every other nigga probably on your Daily News
They handing out more time in jail than scholarships to school
But in the meanwhile, just get up off my penile
Until further notice, you can keep me on speed dial, ugh
