Let Me Take Yall Way Back

Let me take y'all way back way back when I was eight years old

I was playing in my front yard, front yard I ran through the back door

Thats when I say my momma crying I said I asked: Whats wrong?

I said I asked my momma: Whats wrong?

I said I asked my momma: Whats wrong?

She said: Baby if you ever listen, this is the perfect time son

My momma told me she had cancer, cancer and momma might die soon

My momma told me she might die soon

My momma told me she might die soon

And when I was 15 standing on that block

Thats when a black Monte Carlo pulled up, pulled up

And started letting out shots

Thats when a bullet went cross my head

And then laid there thinking I was dead

I told them I ain't got time for this, bit tonight

They wanna take my soul

Now every night when I have those dreams about a nigga killin me

My ni*gga is you feelin me

I swear I do this for the streets

You lost somebody that counts so I'm stressin RIP

Now when I was 16, they sent me off to jail

I was mobbin, chillin, coolin, relaxin, sitting back to myself

Thats when an officer came and got me

Got me, and tool me up those stairs

And I just swear I was finna cause hell

Man I was thinkin like: Man what the hell?

When I walked up in that office

That office, and I picked up that phone

I heard my grandma voice say: Lil baby boy be strong

Thats when I knew something was wrong

I gotta feelin my momma was gone

Now tell me is you feelin me or do you feel the melody

Going da da da da da da, a da da da da daa

A da da da da da da daa, a da da da da da da daa

I told them I ain't got time for this, not tonight

They wanna take my soul

Now ever night when I have those dreams about a nigga killin me

My n*gga is you feelin me

I swear I do this for the streets

You lost somebody that counts so I'm stressin RIP

Da da da da da daa, a da da da da daa

A da da da da da da daa, a da da da da da da daa
