CORRECT LYRICS
Lyrics : Devils Jaw
Yeah, yeah
Look
So far, the rapper life is overrated
I only started ventin' lyrically 'cause I need savin' (Savin')
Somehow the ship got flipped and I'm positioned as a savior (Savior)
Don't know if they know but they really doin' me a favor (Me a favor)
I used to sit back in the cla**room wonderin' what I could do with life (Life)
Thinkin' if I got into somethin' that I should do it right
Fights inside the house would have me pantin'
Practically kill that romantic fantasy that used to play out in my head at night
We was too broke for love (Love)
We was too broken up (Up)
We ain't had family structure
Hate that I soaked it up
Now that I'm older, don't even know if I could hold it down (Down)
Every relationship that I started, I would throw it out, I'll throw it out and
Tried to look up to the lord when sh*t was goin' down (Down)
Tried to look up to somethin' that never was around ('Round)
That faith'll get you killed while you out on this side of town (This side of town)
I'm tryna smile with my momma but I can't even smile (Can't even smile)
'Cause we ain't really eye to eye when we are on this topic (Topic)
I got depressed, the preacher told me prayer is my option (My only f**kin' option)
But you could spend your life resided in the Devil's jaw (Devil's jaw)
Yeah, you could live that life alone while I'm at home with God
Stealin' sh*t, caught wit' my partners
Parkin' lot poppin' off condoms
Papa upset wit' my conscious
Thought he taught me what it meant to go and be a man
He said, "You livin' in the states, you got the upper hand
See, back at home we ain't have it, the disadvantages absent
To get, you have to be pa**ionate
Get that job, get that master's, go get your sh*t right
And I ain't finished
My family f**ked me up when I was young and on my mission
Young and naive, I guess, but blessed 'cause I can make it out
Deep in the streets, my feet was wet while I was in the drought
Ran up that paper wit' yo' momma and we had you
That sh*t did change my life, I did all that I had to do
And that's the truth, n***a"
Tried to look up to the lord when sh*t was goin' down (Down)
Tried to look up to somethin' that never was around (Never was aound)
That faith'll get you killed while you out on this side of town (On this side of town)
I'm tryna smile with my momma but I can't even smile (Can't even f**king smile)
'Cause we ain't really eye to eye when we are on this topic (Topic)
I got depressed, the preacher told me prayer is my option (My only f**kin' option)
But you could spend your life resided in the Devil's jaw (Devil's jaw)
Yeah, you could live that life alone while I'm at home wit' God
