Tears For ODB
(Verse) Tears for ODB, drug induced poetry What's the use? Strung out from that drug abuse What was me? 80's baby so I know my pops was getting high In the 90's me and mama barely getting by 2000's, I was concentrating more on getting fly Getting bitches, getting rich to get the shit I couldn't buy You know the story, you know my allegory I was sent from heaven with a set of horns, they better warn yall I'm here for more then just the kicks, some witty metaphors dawg This more uh the type of shit you spit to set a war off Cuz niggas be poor, get money, then still don't know With the fuck they can't cop a house, the system meant to lock us out But I'm knockin down the doors, strapped up with a 4-4 Robin Hood shit and yea I'm hood rich That's good enough to stay in new kicks and a good whip Get good hand from a good bitch I give 2 shits, I'mma tell you straight up (Hook) Straight up Straight up Byany chance, I'mma take it Rather die before I fake it They say life is what you make it, bitch SongtexteBut I'm just tryna make it straight up Straight up Straight up By any chance, I'mma take it Rather die before I fake it They say life is what you make it, bitch (Verse) Lord have mercy on my soul, what I've done and what I've seen My life has tumbled into that, which only you could intervene I put my heart in senseless things – money, bitches and street shit Fascinated by beef, sad to say I won't be shit Grew up in this bitch without a pot to piss, no toilet How ironic, I took a lot of shit Like a bottom bitch or a model chick, high off coke They locking sons up for less, I don't care how yall cope But yet I still pedal this dope and these pills I never known how sittin comfy on that Oprah seat feels More than likely be on most wanted posters we steal Holding on to old dreams of being Hova, be real We the forgotten souls, bottom of the totem poles Left for dead, some niggas fled, people say they sold they souls I just think they found a better way Lord knows I never prayed But sometimes I be wishin I could levitate I take this straight up (Hook) Straight up Straight up Byany chance, I'mma take it Rather die before I fake it They say life is what you make it, bitch But I'm just tryna make it straight up Straight up Straight up By any chance, I'mma take it Rather die before I fake it They say life is what you make it, bitch But I'm just tryna make it straight up (Outro) Hey Hey Go away 2-6 faded out shit For all my niggas still going through it Yea Straight up My niggas gotta learn something It's 2012 nigga And we're still killing ourselves You ought to know by now nigga Now you gon never know Yo Aus Songtexte Mania
