When I Grow Up (Intro) lyrics - Joyner Lucas
[*kids chatting*]
[Teacher:]
Okay guys, time to go
Remember to bring your homework in tomorrow
And please, don't run, walk, please
Thank you
Joyner, stay behind one second, I wanna talk to you
[Joyner:]
Alright
[Teacher:]
What’s going on with you? You've been kinda off lately, everything okay at home?
[Joyner:]
Yeah, everything's fine at home, I guess
[Teacher:]
How come you didn’t participate in class today?
When the other kids were telling me what they wanted to be when they grow up?
[Joyner:]
I don't know, they all just, I'm just stupid
[Teacher:]
Well, before you leave, I want you to tell me
What do you want to be when you grow up?
[Joyner:]
I want to be an entrepreneur, I want to change the world!
I don't want to be like these other kids
I want to be my own boss, I don't want to work for nobody
But what do I look like taking orders from people?
I wanna do things that were never done before
I want my legacy to live forever!
I wanna make sure my kids are straight, and my kids' kids' kids are straight
You feel me?
Evolution lyrics - Joyner Lucas
I wanna expand my brain, but I'm trapped in prison
Got me shackled up in chains for the maximum sentence
I'm tryna get out my ways to bring me back to census
And maybe teach myself some game and turn my rags to riches, mmm
Ain't no excuses we all start at the bottom
Gotta learn to speak yo' truth and that's just part of the process
Shit, if I ain't the solution, guess I'm part of the problem
You pullin' flowers out the roots when I just wanted to blossom
And I'm exhausted, but I tried my best
We needed change 'cause we tired of stress, tryna flex
Bought you a chain, but couldn't buy respect, I'm not impressed
We can't evolve unless we follow steps, it's not a test
I'm tired of frontin' like we not oppressed
And I thought if I was rich, then all my problems'd be through
'Til I made a few million and now I got more problems than you
I know it feels good to win, but it hurts a lot when you lose
Don't ever say what you gon' do unless you followin' through
I'm talking execution (Execution), uh
And I don't know where I'm goin', but I'm learnin' as I'm growin'
That's the evolution (The evolution)
Hope I don't finish last, I'm still healin' from my past
I need some retribution (Retribution)
Did a lot of gettin' even, but I'm sick and tired of beefin'
What's the resolution? (Resolution)
I'm talkin' evolution (Evolution)
I gotta be honest, I never thought that I would pop this quickly
Feels good to look at my phone and see Rihanna hit me
Nah, it ain't on no shit like that, shorty a goddess to me
Just one of my friends that I can vent to when my conscious get me
Look, I ain't into what niggas is doin', I'm on some other shit
I never been the type to turn up and be on that clubbin' shit
I'm lookin' at niggas like, "Bruh, you grown, how you still love this shit?"
I'd rather be home and watch some movies with my son and shit
'Cause I ain't tryna impress nobody, that shit get old quick
Like starin' at an old flick
Trynna travel back in '06
Maybe hope for what I won't get
All that temporary happiness only last until you grow sick
And them lights start to go dim
And the walls start to close in
And the times starts to pass you by
Don't act surprised
Better be careful what you ask from God
I had some jobs, shit, I quit and took control, my nigga
Got tired of buildin' companies up that I ain't own, my nigga
It's time to grow my nigga
Evolution (Na, na, na, na, na)
I don't know where I'm goin', but I'm learnin' as I'm growin'
That's the evolution (Na, na, na, na, na)
Hope I don't finish last, I'm still healin' from my past
I need some retribution (Na, na, na, na, na)
Did a lot of gettin' even, but I'm sick and tired of beefin'
What's the resolution? (Na, na, na, na, na)
I'm talkin' evolution (Evolution)
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Da-da-da-da, oh
On This Way lyrics - Joyner Lucas (feat. The Game & Iyla)
[Iyla:]
And I think I been countin' my hardest days
Lord, won't you save me? Oh
You know what I've been prayin' for
And I never thought I'd see this day, yeah
I gotta make it change
And I think I been countin' my hardest days
[Joyner Lucas:]
Uh, writin' plans to make a new report (Yeah)
Grind hard and turn my basement to a jewelry store
If you don't do it for your kids, then who you do it for?
I'm tryna read and learn some shit I never knew before
Focused on investments (Yeah) build me up some new resorts
We can manifest it (Word) you'd rather hit the Louis store
Wastin' all your blessings, care about the ones who doubt you
Just to impress some hoes who never gave a fuck about you
Just what I discovered
Never believed in family, that word is really a cover
Just a title that have the advantage to keep you under (Oh, yeah)
I got niggas I consider brothers more than my brothers
So watch it, you show your colors
We livin' in a world where prison walls is depravation (Yeah)
Livin' in a world where snitchin' calls for celebration (Yeah)
Livin' in a world where niggas crawl and segregation
Rainy nights and desperation, pray we fight the legislation
Protest until we flatline, paralyzed (Uh)
They throwin' stones at my Black Lives Matter signs (Oh)
Made a change but we still not satisfied
I can't smile half the time I'm still (I'm still)
I'm still waitin', sittin' plottin' on the couch (Word)
'Cause I know that I ain't safe when all these cops is on the prowl (Yeah)
Tryna think of other ways, but we ain't got no other route
I'm startin' to understand that shit that Pac was talkin' 'bout (Word)
[Iyla (Joyner Lucas):]
And I think I been countin' my hardest days
Lord, won't you save me? Oh
You know what I've been prayin' for (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
And I never thought I'd see this day (Uh, uh, uh, uh) yeah
I gotta make it change
And I think I been countin' my hardest days
Lord, won't you save me? Oh
You know what I've been prayin' for
And I never thought I'd see this day, yeah
I gotta make it change
And I think I been countin' my—
[Joyner Lucas:]
Look, time is money and the clock tickin'
I teach my son love and respect, that's a God given (Word)
My sperm donor never been shit, just a flop
Listen, if it wasn't for my step-pops, I'd prolly turn out different (Facts)
Probably be in a cell doin' a life sentence (Facts)
Probably have twenty baby mamas and nine bitches (Facts)
Probably grow up misguided, twisted inside the system
Dropped out and failed 'cause nobody listen to my admission (Yeah)
Sick of gettin' in fights with niggas less educated
Sick of gettin' advice from niggas who never made it (Ooh)
Sick of bein' polite to people with lesser patience
Oftentimes, I wonder where I would be if I never made it
The hatin' always comes from niggas
That wish they had all your blessings or the clout (True)
And bad vibes forever, but I'm destined on this route (Yeah)
I'm startin' to understand that shit that X was talkin' 'bout (Word)
And I think I been countin' my—
[XXXTENTACION:]
Worst thing comes to worst
I fuckin' die a tragic death or some shit
And I'm not able to see out my dreams
I at least wanna know that the kids perceive my message
And were able to make something of themselves
And able to take my message
And use it and turn it into somethin' positive
And to, to at least have a good life
[The Game:]
If it ain't black owned, I'm prolly gon' use it to chop crack on
Hard white for all them hard nights I had my back on
Roach-infested carpet, tip-toe in my mother's room
See a dresser and felt no pressure when takin' a twenty off it
Compton like a closed coffin, we walkin' to school coughin'
Often high off the gun smoke, Boston had at the front door
Cookin' class, I'm JAY, Hov', rock it up on they stove
Me and my teacher goin' back and forth like Noname and J. Cole
You said I would never be what? I wouldn't amount to what?
Now you in this Trader Joe's, same lines, sayin', "Wassup?" (Oh)
Talkin' 'bout like how you like my songs, not knowin' it was me
Security had me in a headlock and I told you I couldn't breathe
Now it's Black Lives Matter and white letters on your shirt
Now how many black lives did you help, or did you hurt?
Did you handicap, block, push to excel or did you hinder?
Since hindsight's 20/20, I guess you don't remember
Now you with your mixed child, havin' all these mixed feelings
But do your black husband know you tried to burn down our village?
But never mind, from the line, that's for y'all to figure out
Just know that boy who wasn't shit bailed all his niggas out
And it's my black queen, I kiss her on her black lips
And she rock Off-White 'cause she support black shit
And I'm blacker than a Steeler helmet or a Spike Lee flick
Black like the pick stuck in the afro of Kaepernick
Things I've Seen lyrics - Joyner Lucas
I've got this darkness in my soul
Don't see no light when I'm wide awake
I'm sick of workin' for no ends
You see the greed made me feel hate
And there's no turnin' back, no
Keep runnin' from my past
Well, the fear, it always lasts
I don't think you know me, know me, no
You don't know my life, my heart, my soul, no
If you've seen the things I've seen
If you've seen the things I've seen, see things I've seen
Black women hurt, black women curse
Black brothers doin' black women dirt
Black women cryin', black women murk
We can never put a black woman first
Black lives matter, black lives scatter
Black eyes under black eye shadow
Black blood made a black life splatter
Black sister had a black life shadow
Black single mother, black favorite color
Black brother made a black woman suffer
Black women down, black women under
We contribute to the black women struggle
Black women brave, black women save
Black women lost, black women fade
Black man with a black woman
Made black paint, made a black woman change
Black women cryin', black women tired
Tears runnin' down a black woman's eye
Black women run, black women hide
Black violence made a black woman die
Black woman passed, black mama sad
Black pride on a black woman had
Black rage for the black women, mad
Black man callin' black women trash
Black women hurt, let you back in
Black women keep protectin' black men
Black men don't protect the black queen
Black women always get the back seat
Black women preach, black women teach
Black soil for the black women seeds
Black paint's all a black woman sees
Black love's all a black woman needs
Woah-oh, you don't know the tears I've cried
If you've seen the things I've seen (Oh, seen the things)
If you've seen the things I've seen
Woah-oh, I'm standin' 'til the end, woah
If you've seen the things I've seen
If you've seen the things I've seen
Black resurrected, black manifested
Black women vision, black innovation
Black women faith, black women blessings
Black man keep the black queen protected
Black women safe, black women save
Black business is a black women paid
Black don't crack, black don't age
Black women proud, black women praised
Black women smilin', black women shinin'
Black women got it, black women write it
Black wealth, no more back to the bottom
Black kings get a black woman diamonds
Black women body, black women climbin'
Black women body, black women poppin'
Black men keep the black woman honored
Black roses painted back and they got 'em
Black loyalty, black royalty
Black novelty, black odyssey
Black women in a black colony
Black women feelin' black harmony
Black for the people, black women peaceful
Black man treatin' black women equal
Backbone what a black women teach you
Black strength when a black woman feed you
Black pride, that's what's happenin' now
Black men holdin' black women down
Black women gettin' cash and I'm proud
Black angels and they trapped in the clouds
Black women preach, black women teach
Black soil for the black women seeds
Black paint's all a black woman sees
Black love's all a black woman needs
Woah-oh, you don't know the tears I've cried
If you've seen the things I've seen (Oh, seen the things)
If you've seen the things I've seen
Woah-oh, I'm standin' 'til the end, woah
If you've seen the things I've seen
If you've seen the things I've seen (Things I've seen)
My God, I lost a lot of love
Can see the pain in my momma's face
A daughter hangin' from this earth
She got them scars she don't deserve
And there's no turnin' back
Keep runnin' from my past
Well, the fear, it always lasts, mmm
Seen the things I've seen
If you've seen the things I've seen (Oh, seen the things)
If you've seen the things I've seen
Woah-oh, I'm standin' 'til the end, woah
If you've seen the things I've seen
If you've seen the things I've seen
Ooh-ooh, woah
Ooh-ooh, woah
Ooh-ooh, woah
Ooh-ooh (Things I've seen, things I've seen)
Zim Zimma lyrics - Joyner Lucas
Zim Zimma (Zim Zimma)
Who got the keys to my motherfuckin' Bimmer?
Bitch, I ain't no iller...
Yeah
I want a 'Rari, I'm feelin' godly (Woah)
Wonder how much that gon' cost me, they feelin' saucy (Buck, buck)
Niggas know that I'm a problem, they'll never solve me (Buck, buck, buck)
If you came to start some drama, then bring an army
I've been goin' fuckin' fast and it got me swervin'
I know that I'm a child of God, but they want me cursed in
I've been trappin' out the Ozark, I'm Marty Byrdin' (Oh, oh)
And I've been hard at work, yeah, ho, you just hardly workin'
If it wasn't for this rap shit, I'd be movin' kilos
Front the pack from my connect then cop a few casinos
Used to fake it 'til I made it just to boost my ego
Stashin' money in my shirt, they thought I grew some chichos, oh no
I got some new wheels, uh-uh
Tired of kids, they think that we in school still, ah-ah
Play me, you gon' find out how the tool feel, ah-ah
Fuck around and you gon' find out who's real, ah-ah
Who, yeah, ah-ah
Zim Zimma (Zim Zimma)
Who got the keys to my motherfuckin' Bimmer?
Bitch, I used to dream of this
I ain't that nigga you could
Play with, nigga, that's dangerous (Oh)
Told 'em I was raised in the basement
Twin AKs in the playpen
Take your face, rearrange it
I can turn eggs into bacon (Yeah)
I can serve base with a apron
Niggas been waitin' to hate it (True)
I got a Beamer and I'm anxious to race it
Vroom right past you (Vroom right past you)
Cops keep followin' a nigga, that's bad news
I don't like hassles (I don't like hassles)
Suck it down Remy and I'm feelin' like Papoose
Hope I don't crash you (Hope I don't crash you)
Lil' bird bitch with me and I call a ho Zazu
Mind your bidness (Mind your bidness)
Fuck your opinion, nobody asked you, woah
Look (Yeah), this that WAP-WAP shit (Yeah)
Shit'll make a nigga wanna stop, drop, shit (Buck)
Roll when you hit 'em with the Glock-Glock, bitch (Buck, buck)
Semi-automatic if a nigga really think he want static
Now a nigga doin' pop-lock, bitch
Oh, you thought you was a hotshot, bitch? (Oh)
Now you want a crown with a hotshot, bitch (Hey)
Nigga, I was raised on the block-block, bitch
This is my time, no stopwatch, bitch
All of my whips is top-notch, bitch
How to get a plug at the chop shop, bitch
Even my son got pop rocks, bitch
Fuckin' your bitch, don't cock block, bitch
I get your bitch, at my casa, bitch
She gon' ride my drop top, bitch
Zim Zimma (Zim Zimma)
Who got the keys to my motherfuckin' Bimmer?
Bitch, I used to dream of this
I ain't that nigga you could
I got some bands, now they got they hands out (Hey)
All them hoes that have a man now, they pull my pants down
They know they don't got no chance now, bitch, I'm the man now (Hey, hey)
Used to be my only fan, she got OnlyFans now
Yeah, I'm swervin', I got road rage, I feel like OJ
I don't wear no fuckin' Dolce, I smell like olé (Joyner)
I might go back to my old ways, she want her soul saved
I done traded in my soulmate and got a gold chain
Okay
I came up way under-privileged, poverty livin' and I ain't had nothin' but scraps (Yeah)
I had to watch niggas winnin' and drivin' in foreigns and I was just stuck in the back (Word)
I had to learn me the bidness so once I applied it, I made me a couple of racks (Yeah)
I had ménages with Nicki and Cardi and Megan and then I woke up from a nap
Ooh (Ooh)
I had a Bugatti and then I woke up in the trap (Yeah)
I had a couple of friends I left in the past 'cause they don't do nothin' but cap (Yeah)
I know a couple of niggas that don't know the bidness and they don't do nothin' but rap (Yeah)
Fuck it I guess I'll just shut up and drive, I got me a Beamer, I'm runnin' the lap
Zim Zimma (Zim Zimma)
Who got the keys to my motherfuckin' Bimmer?
Bitch, I used to dream of this
I ain't that nigga you could
Yeah, put me inside of a room with niggas you think that are better than me
I crush them inevitably, and leave them as dead as can be
That go to any nigga who's steppin' to me, they all come second to me
My words are weapons to me- I burn it, second degree
And get it, and I'm sicker than any nigga that's sick, and I got it sick and it shiverin'
Even Ritalin couldn't get rid of the kid in him
You gotta be kiddin', I'm trippin', I kinda feel like a kid again (Rah, rah, rah)
And, yeah, I got somethin' to say
I ain't with the games, I ain't come to play
Nigga, you confused, you a broad, go tuck your leg
You trapped in the wrong body like Young M.A (Buck, buck)
I need my money like andale
Got a one-inch blade, get cut then we run that fade
I ain't really with the dumb ass shade
I come back brave, get clapped when I run back sayin'
Zim Zimma (Zim Zimma)
Yeah, ayy
All the girls, dem sugar
I'm a trill ass nigga, I'm a Mike Jack thriller
I'm a VJ killer, I'ma get 'em long-range, Reggie Miller
Watch me swerve on a nigga
Zim Zimma (Zim Zimma)
Yeah, yeah
All the girls, dem sugar
I'm a trill ass nigga (Buck, buck), I'm a Mike Jack thriller (Buck, buck)
I'm a VJ killer, I'ma get 'em long-range, Reggie Miller
Watch me swerve on a nigga
Zim Zimma (Zim Zimma)
Tattle Tales (Skit) lyrics - Joyner Lucas
[Christine:]
Excuse me, Ms. Nelson? Joyner said something mean to Cory
[Ms. Nelson:]
He did? Well, that wasn't very nice of him, was it?
Joyner
[Joyner Lucas:]
Yes, Ms. Nelson!
[Ms. Nelson:]
Can you come here, please?
[Joyner Lucas:]
Coming!
[Ms. Nelson:]
So I was just informed that you said something mean to Cory
[Joyner Lucas:]
That's not true, she's lying!
[Ms. Nelson:]
Joyner...
[Cory:]
Yeah, he did! He told me I was-
[Ms. Nelson:]
Now, before we figure out anything, I just wanna point out that what Christine came up and told me wasn't her business, was it?
[Joyner Lucas & Cory:]
No
[Ms. Nelson:]
And what Christine actually did was what?
[Joyner Lucas & Cory:]
Tattle taled
[Ms. Nelson:]
That's right! She tattle taled. And we don't like tattle tales very much, do we?
[Joyner Lucas & Cory:]
No
[Ms. Nelson:]
Cory, what's another name for tattle tale?
[Cory:]
Snitch!
[Ms. Nelson:]
That's right! Snitch. And what Christine just did was snitch on Joyner
[Cory:]
Aha!
[Ms. Nelson:]
And like the saying goes, "Snitches get" what?
[Joyner Lucas & Cory:]
"Stitches!"
[Ms. Nelson:]
Say it again! "Snitches get" what?
[Joyner Lucas & Cory:]
"Stitches!"
[Ms. Nelson:]
One more time! "Snitches get" what?
[Joyner Lucas & Cory:]
"Stitches! "
Snitch lyrics - Joyner Lucas
Hey, let me clarify something for you
You're looking at a lot of fucking time
So this is completely up to you
We can do this the easy way (Snitch)
Or we can do it the hard way (Snitch)
I need some fucking information (Snitch)
And I need it, right now (Snitch)
This your motherfuckin' conscience, nigga don't even do it
Don't start actin' like a bitch 'cause you forgot where you goin'
You made choices that done put you here and now you just ruined
And I don't care 'bout why you did it or who got you influenced
Nah, don't listen to that nigga, that ain't good advice
If you cooperate then it's your chance to save your life
Just tell 'em what they wanna know, and you won't pay the price
Some would call it snitchin', but for me I call it make it right
Man fuck that "make it right shit", you gotta sit, do your bid
You should've thought about this shit, before you did what you did
Give a fuck about your family or your bitch or your kids
You either gon' respect the code or your gon' get what you give
Who gives a fuck about the codes? No one follow codes
We both know that jail ain't the place you wanna go
Somebody fuckin' on your bitch, you tryna call her phone
If I was you I'd tell them boys everything they wanna know
Psssh, okay, let's think about this, let's embrace it
Let's make an illustration
Let's say you switch up with it and bitch up and make a statement
Now niggas in jail, that nigga ain't tellin', had no snitch temptations
Now you might be free but you might get killed for givin' up information
And if you don't get killed then that's a wrap
Everybody gon' know you as a rat
Won't get no respect for the rest of your life, nobody will know you after that
You might just run but you never could hide
How long you hopin' that'll last, 'fore they catch you slippin' and give you somethin' that you know you had to have?
Fuck that, let's say you keep your mouth shut and take the blame for it
Now you need money on your books ain't no one payin' for it
No visitations or no letters, you've been waitin' for
That pussy you've been cravin' for, you may not get laid no more
And all them niggas that you call your brothers'll be ghost
The only one who got you is your mother if you close
A bunch of niggas screamin' free you and makin' post
No one show up to your trial, niggas pray that you get smoked
Man, please tell me you ain't 'bout to take this suckas advice?
Your kids'll grow up, knowin' that you just a sucka for life
Lackin' morals and integrity, it come with a price
And if you fold then you should know, that we ain't nothin' alike
And if you leavin' here tonight, you better cop a burner
Don't fuck around and be somebody ain't nobody heard of
Now here's your choice be a man or be somebody murdered
It's either you can take the stand or you'll be Bobby Shmurda
Free Bobby Shmurda (Shmurda, Shmurda, Shmurda, Shmurda)
Alright
So it was me, C-Dot, Killa, Rico and Vic
Cut the shit (Shit, shit, shit)
Who is Rico? Who is Vic? (Snitch)
I want their real names (Snitch)
Killa's name is Jonathan Taylor (Snitch)
And Rico's Michael McCormick (Snitch)
And Vic (Snitch), he was the person, pretty much
He was like the head of the operation
(Snitch (Snitch, snitch))
(Snitch (Snitch, snitch))
(Snitch (Snitch, snitch))
(Snitch (Snitch, snitch))
What's up now, nigga?

If I knew, then I wouldn't want none of it (Buck, buck)
Niggas I thought I was cool with is schemin'
But they wanna dap me in public
I'm startin' to think that I'm numb to it
I wear my heart on my sleeve, but decided to cover it (Rrah)
Wonder how crazy my son'd get (Buck)
I wrote a book, and then buried and covered it
Hope that he'd never discover it
Wonder if he only knew all the shit that the other kids
I gotta put me in front of it (Hey)
I want it all and they only want some of it
I think I need me a ton of it
They wanted drama until I decided to come
Straight like that, straight like that, straight like that, straight

Pop this shit, I'll make a scene, straight like that (Pop)
I might take this shit to the extreme, straight like that (Crack, yeah)
Twenty-nine, bitch, that's my team, straight like that
If they don't buy my shit, then they gon' stream, straight like that (Oh-oh)
New bitch in my crib, I might just dick her, straight like that (Stripper)
I just flip her over, I don't kiss her, straight like that (Yeah)
I ain't fallin' for no stripper, straight like that (Never)
I said fuck the labels and got richer, straight like that
Used to struggle, now we icey, straight like that (Icey)
Hope my daughter don't meet no one like me, straight like that (Word)
If she do, he gotta fight me, straight like that (Brrap)
Someone gotta pay as shit get pricey straight like that
Hope in the four and I'm swervin' it (Ah)
They want a dish and I'm servin' it (Ah)
Word to the niggas who thought I was leavin'
I told 'em I'm stayin', it's permanent (Buck)
Typical nigga been hurtin' these women
They feelings, they wasn't deservin' it
I broke their heart and I'm sure of it
I did some damage, I hope that one day I can learn from it (Buck, buck, buck)
That probably won't be the first of it (Yeah)
I'm on a journey, I feel like a journalist
Never had many alternatives
Only way out is to murder it, I gotta murder it (Ah-ah)
I bet that you be observin' it
I'm all the way up and I'm feelin' the turbulence
I need my peace, you disturbin' it
You put some drop up inside my pocket and it's startin' to
Straight like that, straight like that, straight like that, straight
(Straight like, straight like, straight like)
Straight like that, straight like that, straight like that, straight
(Straight)
Fall Slowly lyrics - Joyner Lucas (feat. Ashanti)
Fall slowly
Fall slowly
I love you more than I love myself
If I weren't with you, I can't picture me with someone else
And every time we separate it's like we under spells
'Cause when we hurt each other we come back to help each other heal
You say I'm crazy, but at least you know my love is real
But shit, you crazy too, and that's why they say love is hell
And it's forever, so I hope you never up and bail
And if you ever left me for someone, you gon' get someone killed
You know the vibes we on be like some movie shit (Word)
And we don't always get along, but when we do, we lit (Lit)
I never understood love or what it truly is until I met you
Now we just inseparable until we trip (Yeah)
And every time you try to leave, I'm chasin' after you (Chasin' after you)
And every time I go, I keep on comin' back to you (Comin' back)
'Cause you belong to me, and I'm the other half of you
And as much as I need you, deep down I know I'm bad for you
You know I'm bad for you (Bad for you, bad for you)
Fallin' slowly, fallin' slowly
Fallin' slowly, fallin' slowly
You're not perfect, but you make life worth it
Maybe that's why we stick together like cursive (Like cursive)
Hella toxic, but I know that I'm determined
If we can make it through the fire, we can breathe inside a furnace (Facts)
Your family never liked me, they all think that I'm a burden
They know when we're together you're a different type of person (True)
Whenever things get bad, it never seems like it's worth it
It's like we're drownin' really fast until we get back to the surface
And we never learnin' self-love (Yeah)
So we been there for each other when no one else was (No one else was)
And all the times I was broke and you kept me held up
And got me back focused or held me down when I felt stuck (Word)
And every time I try to leave, you're chasin' after me (Chasin' after me)
And every time you leave, you keep on comin' back to me (Comin' back)
'Cause I belong to you, and you're the other half of me
And as much as you need me, deep down you know you're bad for me
You know you're bad for me
Fallin' slowly, fallin' slowly
Fallin' slowly, fallin' slowly
I love you more than I love myself
If you weren't with me, I can't picture you with someone else
And every time we separate it's like we under spells
'Cause when we hurt each other we come back to help each other heal
You say I'm crazy, but at least you know my love is real
But shit, you crazy too, and that's why they say love is hell
And it's forever, so I hope you never up and bail
And if you ever left me for someone, you gon' get someone killed (Killed, killed, killed)
The swing that takes me now
Of crawlin' down me skin
Hold me by your name
Hold me 'til the end
The Problem lyrics - Joyner Lucas
Look, pour me a drink
I don't do liquor, I know what you think
This is a vibe
This that shit that make niggas get fly and go on a date
Fly to Dubai, order a steak
I got a shawty, she told me she loved me
I know that she mean it, don't know what to say
She want a nigga to go all the way
She want a
She want that feelin' that she on a mission to find what she missin'
She need the commitment but don't wanna wait
I need a break, I need (A break)
She need a hubby
I wish I could love like I did in my twenties
I wish I was me back when I had no money
I wish I could give her all that she want from me
And I know it hurts (Yeah)
I got a diamond, don't know what it's worth
Don't know what is worse
Sleepin' alone or sleepin' with someone you know you gon' hurt
Layin' with someone you know that you killin'
And deep down inside, you know that she willin' to stay and just ride
Just hopin' that one day this shit'll be fine
But what if it isn't? Or what if I'm wrong?
What am I missin'? Where do I belong?
She got a vision and I never listen
I think I been lookin' for somethin' that never existed
I'm dealin' with scars that never be fixin'
I know that I'm guilty of every conviction (Yeah)
Now how can I look in the mirror and talk to myself
When I know I ain't ready to listen or ready to fix it? (Woo)
I just packed the ride (Woo)
That's a vibe
I ain't perfect, but I try
She said, "That's a lie
You know you just sabotage" (Hey)
Girl, you cold
You know I'm in love with you but I ain't done bein' a ho
I got a shawty beside of me (Woo)
She ain't got shit that she proud of me (Hey)
She never trip up or lie to me
She never bicker or brother me (Buck)
I got a bitch with a Rolls-Royce
She wanna pull up beside of me (Woah)
She never get in my way
And don't ever complain about spendin' no time with me
I got a, I got a shawty that give me up (Hey)
I don't need no one to trip me up (Yeah)
Too many hoes wanna keep me down
I got a bitch that'll pick me up
She wanna suck me and lick me up (Woah)
I got a ho that'll spoil me
Treat me like royalty
I gotta live it up (Woah)
None of these women can get enough
I got a, I got a shawty with hella ambition
Somebody who trust and believe in my vision
And keep to herself and don't be in my business
Won't talk to nobody, not even my niggas (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I swear that her booty's a heavy addiction
I just wanna hit it in every position
I'm very consistent
I don't wanna cuddle, she very submissive with every decision (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And shawty a boss
She got my, she got my back and she 'bout it (Yeah)
If I try to pay for the bill, she tell me, "Don't worry, my nigga, I got it" (Got it)
Baddest lil' bitch in the Hills, her body amazin', I'm talkin' exotic (You heard?)
Shawty be cookin' me meals and fuckin' me crazy
I'm talkin' demonic, I'm talkin' neurotic
But I ain't in love with these bitches, I'm not gonna reach (Woo, woo, woo)
I hate that the woman I love has gotta compete (Woo, woo, woo)
But I'm tryna figure the reason I'm incomplete
Nobody perfect and not even me
I figured all of these hoes can solve the problem, well maybe the problem is me
Hey, babe (Hey, babe)
I just found love and I never had a love like you
Hey, babe (Hey, babe)
I just found love and I never had a love like you
Baby (Baby)
I just want love and I never had a love like you
Baby (Baby)
I just found love and I never had someone like you
(I keep fallin', I keep fallin')
Lately
I been on the drugs and I never had no one like you
(I keep fallin', I keep fallin')
Baby
I been down on luck and I been out on us like you
(I keep fallin', I keep fallin')
Lately
I been on the drugs and I never had no one like you
(I keep fallin', I keep fallin')
Baby
I can't fall in love and know I can love like
I just found love and I never had a love like you
I just want love and I never had a love like you
Baby (Baby)
Legend lyrics - Joyner Lucas (feat. Rick Ross)
Shit, I close my eyes sometimes and I just think, like...
Like, did you really do this shit, my nigga? Like...
Is this shit even real, cuz?
Ha, this shit crazy (Buck, buck, buck, buck)
I go to sleep and I try to wake up with a clear conscience and shit, you feel me? Like...
I done been through the mud, nigga
Sacrificed a lot to get to the endzone, my nigga
Just tryna give our kids a better life than we had, my nigga (Buck, buck, buck, buck)
I always wanted to change the cycle and
Create a new generation and pass down everything I worked for, my nigga
I'm just, I'm just thinkin' out loud
Look (Yeah)
I wonder where life would probably take me, yeah
Won't break me, yeah
I show some love to niggas who hate me, yeah (Yeah)
That's crazy, yeah
I kept my cool without no AC, yeah (Word)
Got somethin' to prove, I jumped in the pool and now I'm wavy, yeah (Splash)
And lately, I've been tryna hold my blessings
You talk to God, but you don't know the message
Those are lessons (Yeah)
Walkin' in circles without no direction
No exceptions (Woah)
Don't give advice if you don't know the pressure
Close your lips 'cause half of you more full of shit than colon cleansers (Woo!)
I was born in inside a manger (Word)
And no one ever did me favors, now I'm highly favored (Yeah)
I finally made it out the hood, now I ain't got no neighbors (Nope)
So before you talk to me, you gotta sign a waiver (Woo)
Post-traumatic stress disorder keep my conscience racin'
Deep inside my thoughts
Wonder how much I can grow if I just even out my flaws (Yeah)
How I teach myself I'm still a winner even when I lost?
And if I lose, I know I'll still be on even when I'm off
I took my chances and I'm eatin' now
I'm finally learnin' all the shit I used to read about
Now I could live all of the shit I used to dream about
'Cause niggas tried to leave me out
But I learned to get revenge through my success and so we even now (Buck, buck)
I stare at my reflection 'cause I like what I see (I like what I see)
All them years at CVS workin' them nights on my feet (Nights on my feet)
Ain't a nigga where I'm from'll reach the heights that I'll reach (Word)
I'll risk it all to give this life to my seed (Buck)
And if I die today, I'm goin' out a fuckin' legend
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
They gon' play this when I'm gone and I'll be resurrected
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (Look)
Said if I die today, I'm goin' out a fuckin' legend
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
And if they play this when I'm gone, then I'll be resurrected
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
M-M-M-M-Maybach Music
I done seen a couple niggas lose they life over a dollar (Huh)
And they hit the hardest when it's not an outsider
Better keep your money close 'cause that's the only thing that's honest
Everybody thuggin' 'til they gotta face your honor
'64 Impala, hoppin', scrapin', bumpin' chronic
Ridin' solo 'cause these pussy-niggas out here countin' pockets (Huh)
Stackin' all my money, at the same time, lackin' knowledge
Homegrown in the south, it's in my blood and body-body (Oh)
You say you own your masters, can you tell me what they worth?
I still be havin' flashes 'cause it came from doin' dirt
Fifty restaurants all poppin' and I still be poppin' Percs (Huh)
Get you to support, but then they rob you for your merch (Why?)
Shot her in the foot, what pussy-boy, you rockin' skirts (Gang)
PJ to Miami where you know who got to work
Got the condo on the beaches, let the bitches come and twerk (Twerk)
Woke up out a coma, fuck around and fuck a nurse
And if I die today, I'm goin' out a fuckin' legend
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (Huh)
They gon' play this when I'm gone and I'll be resurrected
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (Look)
Said if I die today, I'm goin' out a fuckin' legend
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
And if they play this when I'm gone, then I'll be resurrected
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
And if I die today, I'm goin' out a fuckin' legend
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
They gon' play this when I'm gone and I'll be resurrected
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Said if I die today, I'm goin' out a fuckin' legend
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I was lookin' to the Dope Boys in the FUBU (Yeah, yeah)
And if they play this when I'm gone, then I'll be resurrected
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Now they lookin' up to us, you heard me? (Uh)
Father's Day (Skit) lyrics - Joyner Lucas
[Teacher:]
So today is Father's Day
And I asked you guys to create a beautiful card for your fathers today
I'm sure your dad would love this!
I'm just going to quietly walk around the room, and look at the wonderful card you made
[Teacher:]
This is beautiful
This is nice
[Kid:]
Thanks
[Teacher:]
Sandra, I love this one!
Is that a picture of you and your dad?
[Kid:]
Yeah that's me and my dad
[Teacher:]
That's beautiful
Nice, nice!
[Kid:]
Thank you!
[Teacher:]
Oh well, Joyner, what is this?
This part says "Happy Father's Day, stepdad"
Why don't you create one for your real dad?
[Joyner:]
I don't have a real dad
[Teacher:]
Well isn't that unfortunate? That explains a lot
So anyone with a real dad, take you cards and place them in your backpack
Joyner, I'm gonna hold on to yours, and maybe one day
You'll have a change of heart
Remember, you only get one dad
Keep that in mind
[Joyner:]
Yeah, yeah
Like A River lyrics - Joyner Lucas (feat. Elijah James)
In sweet dreams, I kid myself
Have your love for good
I really had hoped you'd stay
But like the river, you just come and go
And these things, they comfort me
When my mind's on you
And I feel you comfort me
But like the river, it just comes and goes
I used to think that you was Superman when I was younger (Yeah)
Findin' comfort in your voice when I was down and under
Put you on a pedestal and now I kinda wonder if that made sense
'Cause I'm convinced you showed a lot of colors (Yeah)
All them nights I was alone, I hid inside the covers
Used to argue with my moms whenever I was stubborn (Facts)
I never warmed up to the idea of a step-dad because he wasn't you
And you and him ain't even like each other (Word)
Used to bring me 'round your girlfriends as I recall
I thought one or two was cool, but I ain't like 'em all
'Cause all you ever did was argue 'bout who's right or wrong
And you ain't have no job, so you would sit at home and light a bong (Yeah)
Used to crave for your attention, but I never got it
And everything you said we'd do is just another promise
You had dreams of bein' famous and I never doubted
But I started rhymin' to impress you, if we bein' honest (Facts)
But we can have some bondin' time and maybe pow-wow
A father/son relationship that we can smile 'bout
At time's you got abusive and I had to bow down
Or keep on makin' music to try and compete with Bow Wow
Your father died when you was young, I think that made a scar
I started thinkin' maybe that's why you the way you are (Nah)
End of the day, no excuse for how you played your part
Told myself when I became a father, I'ma raise the bar (Word)
We had a lot of fallin' outs and didn't talk for years
And all them birthdays and holidays got awfully weird
You throw me in a foster home and I was brought to tears
Livin' with some strangers, feelin' anxious, I was lost and scared (Yeah)
And now I'm starin' at the river tryna get across
And all I see is apparitions of what never was
And everything I used to wish for is dead and lost
And if I never see your ass again, I'll be better off
I'll be better off (Yeah)
You are so negative (Uh)
And you say you know
But you know a goddamn thing
Like the river, you just run and go
You say you could do good
And better you know
But you tried no goddamn thing
Like the river, I'ma run from you
I told myself I wouldn't write a song, but fuck it, I did
Oftentimes, I sit and wonder if it's somethin' I did
Or maybe I was immature, but is it somethin' I said?
I can't help but feel the feelin' that there's somethin' I missed
I told you somethin' happened to me and you ain't protect me (Yeah)
You tried to say you ain't believe me as you disrespect me (Facts)
And plus, you never had my back, in fact, you may resent me in a way
'Cause everythin' I say, you try to use against me (Word)
And I never knew your other kids, but I knew of 'em (True)
I'm not really sure if I like 'em, but I do love 'em (Do)
Shit, I don't even think you knew but just a few of 'em
'Cause all your baby mothers stayed away to keep you from 'em (Word)
You probably out fillin' they heads with shit that's not the truth
You probably told 'em that I switched up when I got some loot (Uh)
You probably told 'em that I'm greedy and I'm not so cool
That I worship the devil and I sold my soul to cop a pool (Yeah)
I worked my ass off to get rich, let's not confuse
I sacrificed my whole twenties just so I can move (True)
While everybody else was chillin', hangin' out with crews
I was writin' a plan to finally win while tryin' not to lose (True)
I still remember signin' my deal and you got hella funny
And at that time, you probably figured I had hella money (Yeah)
But I only got a small advance, so I ain't even get a chance to hold you down
'Cause then you started gettin' jealous of me
But I'm worth a couple million now, I turned out fine (Yeah)
I copped my moms a big crib and went and got mine
An indoor pool with a house made and I'm not lyin' (Nope)
A happy son who loves his dad, it's about time (Yeah)
But I'm still starin' at the river tryna get across
And all I see is apparitions of what never was
And everything I used to wish for is dead and lost
And if I never see your ass again, then I'll be better off
I think I'll be better off
Karma comes back and it's co-co-comin' (Co-co-comin')
Treatin' me bad and I'm ru-ru-runnin' (Ru-ru-runnin')
Karma comes back and it's co-co-comin' (Co-co-comin')
Treatin' me bad, I'm ru-ru-runnin' (Ru-ru-runnin')
And congratulations, nigga, you won
And all the love you never gave me, I can give to my son
Eternal love to my child, we'll forever be one
Thanks to you, I know the man that I would never become
Never become
