Potter Payper My Generation
Old school, I used to flash buses
Old school, I used to rob Budgens
Old school, I used to rob mobiles
Please don't judge me, I never had nothing
Just a heart and hope that being broke ain't gonna last
I never thought I'd make a living talking bout my dead past
All my friends banged up and all my friends passed
They say: "P, you've had it harsh
Harder then the bacon in the marsh."
I've gotta laugh...shit
Cause tears won't bring back years
Nuff weed, nuff liquor getting sipped back here
Fucking with enough stress that'll push back hair
Old school, I have my burner in my bookbag
Old school, I push crack, tryina get fly
Lil trakkie, lil trainers. I was good, man
My generation turned the hood mad
Age of sixteen I had my own scram
Young boy stressin' like an old man
Old man who ain't got shit
You know the programme
Old school, I used to ride bird like bike
You know I've earned my stripes
Acted like this shit was worth my life
And them washed-up olders give the worst advice
Fuck that, just watch me get mine
Old school, when I was vibes not P, such a heart, not lying
Check me watchin' ''New Jack City" on repeat
Thinkin' I was Nino in a cart I never came home for a week
My lifestyle's Halloween
Got a mask and sweets for a neek
I never knew a life's so cheap...shit
Guess I just sow what I reap
I stepped outta house, I been jugging, I slept on the couch
See, usually I'm in then I'm out
But ain't got no chill when I'm out
Unless it's serious amounts
Dog, then I smile like it's grillz in my mouth
Dog, I still f..ck with them killers from south
I still f..ck with them killers in ends
See, that's family, I can't pick my friends
It's struggle you can't comprehend
I reload and reload again
I beat these dots, I possess with intent
Cause I'm not content. I'm not content
Shit, I'm in these streets
Nothin' but a trappin' and these beats
I ain't been asleep all week
In the studio chasin' my dream
And I feel to put it all on pause
I feel to put it all on pause
Man, my dawgs got bricks on fleek
And I got this chicks on me
And I love the way she love me
But I told this money I'm comin'
You know I'm a man of my word
Look how I made somethin' from nothin'
You know I'm a man with a bird
[?]
If he knows me he knows I ain't bluffing
If he knows, he knows I'm not afraid of nothin'
Fell in love with this money, I lost it
Got my man movin' funny, don't trust him
See, today might be my last
Cause where I'm from shit happens fast
I been up, I been flat on my ass
Don't compare me to these rappers
Don't know if they're gonna last
I don't think we're in the same league
I don't think we're in the same class
I don't think you read the rules right
I bet you wish you could restart
I just want a house on the hill
A house on the hill real far
I don't do road, I do me
Still couldn't give a f..ck who you are
Just give me my luxury car
And my tux and awards
And go tell my mom I'm a star
And I kicked in the door and left her a jar of the real
