LYRICS

Sound like it's 'posed to, nigga
I won't break the code
Young niggas tryin' not to die, we just pray that we get old
My niggas is gone
If they was not in the field, I won't put they name in a song
I been in the zone
Calling my niggas from jail, just praying they pick up the phone
Tried to get niggas to come get it with me
If they was too busy, I'll get it alone
Watch how you approach
Young nigga drunk in a Ghost
I'm blessed like I run with the Pope
If I'm on a yacht, got my gun on the boat
I'm not like you niggas, ain't wanna be broke
When it got cold, I wanted a coat
My uncle was tripping, he wanted some dope
I'm tryna be the richest lil' nigga you know
This paper get thrown, see who pick up the most
I was with killers, mama didn't know
This might be the realest shit I never wrote
I got it, just know it fit inside my coat
So many feelings spilling out my soul
Ran outta product, we was dealing soap
I'm just being modest, I can get it low
Don't care who the hottest, nigga, this is Loc
Pull up in Prada, probably with your ho

Now they calling me handsome
Kidnap that nigga and call for the ransom
Two-stepping, I am not with the dancing
Only live once, so I'm taking these chances
I'ma do all that I gotta do
Go back to my hood, they say that we proud of you
Over the family, we gotta shoot
Carolina whip powder blue
Niggas never was providin', talking how they ridin', homie, I was ridin' too
In public housing, tried to violate, me and Chetty talking 'bout we gotta move
Eviction notices, I got 'em too
Moving dolo, this was not a group
Knocking 2Pac and a lot of Snoop
Got the hang of this shit like I got a noose
Now they calling me handsome
Kidnap that nigga and call for the ransom
Two-stepping, I am not with the dancing
Only live once, so I'm taking these chances
I'ma do all that I gotta do
Go back to my hood, they say that we proud of you
Over the family, we gotta shoot
Carolina whip powder blue
Niggas never was providin', talking how they ridin', homie, I was ridin' too
In public housing, tried to violate, me and Chetty talking 'bout we gotta move
Eviction notices, I got 'em too
Moving dolo, this was not a group
Knocking 2Pac and a lot of Snoop
Got the hang of this shit like I got a noose

My crew was too live, I was not with Luke
I ain't lyin', my mama do Prada boots
Eatin' salmon on a private boat
Just me and my bitch, so I got the coupe
I really had NBA dreams, go overseas or get a full ride to Duke
Now when I play the hood, I'm just slidin' through
Not a motherfuckin' thing I gotta prove

Now they calling me handsome
Kidnap that nigga and call for the ransom
Two-stepping, I am not with the dancing
Only live once, so I'm taking these chances
I'ma do all that I gotta do
Go back to my hood, they say that we proud of you
Over the family, we gotta shoot
Carolina whip powder blue
Niggas never was providin', talking how they ridin', homie, I was ridin' too
In public housing, tried to violate, me and Chetty talking 'bout we gotta move
Eviction notices, I got 'em too
Moving dolo, this was not a group
Knocking 2Pac and a lot of Snoop
Got the hang of this shit like I got a noose
Now they calling me handsome
