inspired by this life
so i'd like to raise a toast,
to my day zeros & people who’ve seen the growth
how i started from the bottom
& still had to start it over,
died a few times
my exes acting like they seen a ghost
popping bottles while some models drop it low
i need a ride or die to come & pop it for me
i broke the glass ceiling, got up off the floor
as high as i be high, they still call me _lo
phone on airplane mode out on another coast
city of angels on demon time in a rover
Imen tucking 3.5 in every roll
Ethiopian Airlines, we flying up the road,
hustlers on the rise
but still got it for the low
blues under these green thumbs
look how we made it grow
straight out of the mud
where dirty cups getting poured up,
don't blow my high or else i'm hanging up the phone,
& i ain't calling back,
you drop the ball,
i ain't picking up, i'm falling back
came from slim pickings,
wasn't picky, needed all of that,
ever since my first plug fronted me the starter pack...
needed all of that,
ever since my first plug fronted me the starter pack,
all about these ends from the beginning,
needed all of that,
ever since my first plug fronted me the starter pack
(you heard?)

i got a suite with a view to sleep alone
i know, i know,
you hate when we hang up the phone
i know, i know,
i stay O.T. & ain't been home
but before i come & break you off
i gotta make my own (feel me?)
so state to state, i'm on the road
i ain't in the field to play the field
i'm tryna make this grow
don't wanna keep you waiting on me
so i'm kicking down some doors
that fronted on me way too long
while i had to have my back all on my own,
get acrobatic,
flip the pack all on my own,
then make it stack
& run it back all on my own
stay on my feet
& not just sit my ass at home
yeah, the trees were loud
the breeze was calm
too many nights was like a war
i praise the dawn
woke up with a dream
woke up with some hope
woke up with the music
speaking to my soul
i made a song,
yeah, the trees were loud
the breeze was calm
i lit up one for nipsey on my marathon
woke up with a dream
woke up with some hope
woke up with the music
speaking to my soul
i made a song...
i sang a song,
i carried on,
i ain’t mean to break your heart
or miss your calls
you was blowing up my phone,
calling me out my name, baby come on,
you kept asking what i’m on,
alright, i’ll tell you, since you really have to know
i got a suite with a view to sleep alone
i know, i know,
you hate when we hang up the phone
i know, i know,
i stay O.T. & ain't been home
but before i come & break you off
i gotta make my own

it wasn’t no cellphones
i had to go knock on the door
to see if the homies could come outside,
i’m from that era…
i’m talking ‘bout back in the daze
acid wash denim with the fade,
Starter Jacket straight from Eastbay
if you had money, you had the matching J’s
just getting back to my ways
just getting back on the page
feeling like i’m stuck in my ways
until it’s up, up & away
until it’s up, up & away
up & away, up, up & away
i'm from that era
a Starter jacket was worth your life
it was dangerous to walk around
with some matching Flights
popular amongst
the street hustlers working nights
long nights,
making sure nobody short the price,
it was on sight,
never for no likes
hand-to-hand transactions
not with your device
we wuz throwing dice,
surviving corner fights
outside before the internet
was every shorty's vice
running in my Starter jacket like a rite of passage,
to this day i wear them jawns
i got on a classic
tryna ball like Bubba Chuck back when
he said "i give this game my life,
we talking bout practice?"
why you mad?
why take away my joy
& make me have to mask my sadness?
grew up with them wolves
that they labeled as savages
people love playing with you ’til you do them bad,
’til i really get them mad
&have them going out the saddest,
then crack a smile,
& roll some up, while i'm laughing
i travel light, might hop a flight without no baggage
can't let nobody hold me back, that's too bad,
i won't have it,
i'm from that era
a Starter jacket was worth your life
it was dangerous to walk around
with some matching Flights
popular amongst
the street hustlers working nights
long nights,
making sure nobody short the price
i’m talking ‘bout back in the daze
acid wash denim with the fade,
Starter Jacket straight from Eastbay
if you had money, you had the matching J’s
just getting back to my ways
just getting back on the page
feeling like i’m stuck in my ways
until it’s up, up & away
until it’s up, up & away
up & away, up, up & away

[pink siifu]:
Keep yea head on my nxgga
Keep spinning
spiraling
Errthang spinning around
Spinning around
Life a disco kin keep dancing…. My Head on stuck help me out
1,2 count
Foot on my neck
Peaking doors
Done seen it all
Ain’t no curtain it’s lit
Stage fall tall terror pair of hell all on my neck
Fighting back the Tears falling parallelize these steps
Hard to lay back
Thoughts back to back
Project roach hard to kill
All dose slaps smile ear to ear we here nxggas still
Blessed…
From tha chaos
Where shawty glossing lips at tha playoffs
Nxggas balling tryna buy respect
Its a play off It’s a payoff how nxggas don’t know cause effect
Gotta chill out
It’s all love wen eye touch down
It’s a seance
Just a vessel while eye touch down
Still just a man tryna figure out…
Keep yo head on…
Life a disco kid 1,2 count
[lojii]:
quit fucking up the rotation
and let the world spin…
quit fucking up the rotation
just let the world spin…
quit fucking up the rotation
just the let the world spin
my cup spilling like the flood
that cleansed the world's sins
you can promote yourself until the end
like you errol flynn
lot of artists died for attention
we ain't heard since,
the night was dark as a crypt
i kept the herb lit
sitting on the edge of the world
feeling the earth shift
high hopes, dirt on my kicks
watching the birds lift
how i got over was slick
it was a sure flip,
even when i fronted on myself
& wasn't sure of this,
my plug said i never miss,
them words hit,
still tellin shorty i ain't worth it
you the perfect bitch,
holding her hips
every kiss is like the first kiss
double cups, double vision
while we swervin,
(double cups, double vision
while we swervin)
my cup spilling like the flood
that cleansed the world's sins
let the world spin…
let the world…
just let the world spin… (quit fuckin up the rotation)
just let the world…
just let the world spin…

my life feel like i been on an odyssey,
real rap…
looking like a movie
but my life is bigger than a flick
bigger than a instagram
bigger than a Twitch
bigger than a theatre
or museum exhibits
just a little abstract
but you can get the picture
i'm still that same youngboul
who wanted to get rich
compliment the custom starter jacket with the kicks
fly to an island
gold on my neck & wrist
built different, real sturdy
reminiscent of them bricks,
i'm just holdin on til i get a better grip,
words from my Aunt Janet,
in my heart she still lives,
standin on the planet
fly like the mothership
the gods must've sent me
down here on a mission
i had to change channels
i watched my dog switch
hit me like them customized 9’s
i was triggered,
thought you was my brother
but you on some other shit,
i had to the hit corner
had to go & buss a bitch,
spin the block
you know i had to get my lick back
i'd rather eat in peace
i'd rather get this bread
i'd rather brush the dirt off
& get it off my head, dig it?
deep in the game,
blood, spirit & flesh
deep in the game,
blood, spirit & flesh in it,
forget who question it,
looking like a movie
but my life is bigger than a flick
bigger than a instagram
bigger than a Twitch
bigger than a theatre
or museum exhibits
it’s just a little abstract
but you can get the picture

feeling on shorty architecture,
the world cold baby, i can arcteryx you
shorty with the perfect knees
she gone have to bend them for me
& beg a nigga please,
don’t want me to go,
then give me a reason not to leave
i’m already wearing chrome heart on my sleeves
that mean i’m having motion,
i can’t deal with you emotions
you used to give me face &rub it in like lotion
i’m from Long Beach, you can find me stoned on Ocean
with a duece of tristina in my pep that’s my potion,
Reaper Mook the one doing the coaching,
i’m in sprinter, sprinting with it, in the winter
i celebrate my wins with a wagyu steak dinner
then wash it down with Clicq,
my bitch want me to beat
said put it in her ass
then try to say she not a freak,
you ain’t gotta lie to me,
I’m what these niggas try to be,
RM
[Sstray]:
I got bit by a bug with a cold secret
Did what any real nigga would and never leaked it
Crazy how these ain’t shit hoes think they the keepers
I’m slutting out a straight A student in stripper pleasers
Things of that nature the S find most intriguing
Bypassed nature, this trip I’m city peaking
Perched on the train of my thoughts,
The force of speed make me feel more free
Behind the wheel, how I made it home beyond me
Niggas barkin bout beef that they in that’s beyond meat
Every other song I mention the East where they can find me
I ain’t out here looking for nothing but life guiding me
It always lead me to what a nigga need
Bitch I’m up but still hustle deals goin let them fly for like five a piece
I done died a few times in my life
but some how im still finding me,
Shit I’m finding peace
[lojii]:
no regrets, no apology,
smoking Reaper's Cut dead high
out in the West, but we still on the East
across the street from Cherry Park
with models on the beach
i hit the spot & made her come
now she don't want to leave
got what you need, i'm not a wanna-be
that doesn't mean i'm playing
& there ain't new levels that i want to see,
i'm trying to multiply the properties
flipping commas out apostrophes,
while i minimize the fees,
her body mean, but it's so kind to me
she clean it up when she done slobbing me
but say she not a freak,
i'm underground she make it pop for me,
i don't need the charts
the way she give me top, it feel like all i need...
it feel like all i need,
Marvin & Tammy serenading while she on her knees,
we coming up in the economy
underscore lo, Hood Vogue, RM,
we what they trying to be,
we what they trying to be,
& got to shoutout Alexander Spit
cuz that's who’s on the beat
