Fake Promises lyrics - Joyner Lucas

Fakes promises

Promises

I'm tryna show you somethin' different, you know what I mean? Uh

They don't mean nothin' to me

They don't mean nothin'

They don't mean nothin'

I'm attracted to your energy, you too official (Yeah)

You a baddie and these other hoes ain't fuckin' with you

I just kinda wish that you wasn't so superficial

To keep it real, I feel like that mentality don't even fit you (Word)

I'm tryna show you somethin' different, take you by the hand (Uh)

Maybe change the way you think and show you how to plan

Fuck a Chanel bag, I'll put you onto buyin' land

Sit you down, show you how to build a castle by the hand (Uh), yeah

I'll show you how to do more (Yeah)

Show you how to invest one to make two more

Show you how to turn three into a few more

Show you how to turn a bus pass into a two-door (Joyner)

You said, you promised you gon' open up some new doors (Yeah)

You said, you promised you gon' elevate at full force (Yeah)

But you keep doin' the same shit and now you too lost

I know that you'll be doin' better if you only knew more (Yeah)

Fakes promises

I said when I look at you, I see so much more than you probably could even see in yourself (Promises) real shit (Real shit)

It's like these other hoes is basic, you not basic, you not basic, you got potential, you feel what I'm sayin'?

They don't mean nothin' to me

You just gotta learn how to separate yourself from all the noise (They don't mean nothin')

Gotta let go of all your distractions (They don't mean nothin')

And focus

Look

I wanna help you better yourself (Yeah)

I could give you money or show you how to get it yourself (Uh)

The grass ain't greener, unless you wet it yourself

I hate it when you be impressed in niggas and never yourself (Joyner)

I'm tryna show you how to take you higher (Yeah)

These other niggas tryna show you how to change your tire (Ha-ha)

It's gon' take more than clothes just to make you flyer

I'll show you how to make your own brand, and I'll pay designers

But I'll still buy you that Chanel bag (Yeah)

Then we invest in whatever stocks Chanel has (Uh)

I ain't wanna see you fall but you fell fast

I want you to have it all, make some real cash (Yeah)

Said you gon' open up some news doors

You said, you promised you gon' elevate at full force (For real)

But you keep doin' the same shit and now you too lost

I know that you'll be doin' better if you only knew more (Yeah)

It's like you livin' in the moment and shit you not really thinkin' 'bout what's next, you know what I mean?

It ain't no nigga who's gonna tell you this shit so I gotta let you know

And your friends are cool, don't get me wrong, I like your friends but

They don't got no niggas in their life to really put 'em on game like that so

They gon' try to steer you over there but

Ain't really nothin' over there but the same old movie and shit playin' over and over

Fakes promises

Ain't nobody gon' tell you this shit, I gotta put you on game (Promises)

I'm tryna stimulate your mind, give you some shit to think about when you by yourself, you know what I mean?

They don't mean nothin' to me (Joyner)

They don't mean nothin'

They don't mean nothin'

When I Need Love lyrics - Joyner Lucas

Uh

Drinkin' all night, I'm faded (Yeah)

Starin' at pictures, anxious (Yeah)

Prayin' one day, we go back to before we became

Some distant strangers (Yeah)

But now we on different pages (Uh)

I heard you just switched __cpLocations

Swear that I hope you just don't hate me

Hit me back when you get this message

Hit me back when you get this message (Yeah)

It's been too long

Prolly moved on, but I really got a million questions (Woah)

Promise I don't got no ill intentions

Tell me what I gotta do to feel your presence (Yeah)

I miss your vibe

I know we lost time, but I'm hopin' you ain't disconnected

Maybe you can give me just a second

Thankful I can really even get this blessin', mm

And I been tryna find a way to get inside of your thoughts

I wonder if you ever think about me at all

I think you like it better when I'm not as involved

But tryna keep myself together without droppin' the ball

Funny how the world really gotta evolve

Unless you want a life with me, I don't want it at all

I'm like, let me explain (Let me explain)

But I must speak first

Lot of shit done really cut me, hurt

Couldn't love you 'til I loved me first

Had to learn that love means work (Work)

And my heart will deliver that

Hopin' even though I lost you, I get it back

If it's comin' with a cost, could I live with that?

I'd get with that

Maybe we can talk

Maybe you can come through now

Maybe we can do a little one-two now

Maybe you can let a nigga love you down

When I lost you, I lost your friendship too

So ready, I'ma trust you now

You all that I got, so if I don't got you

Tell me who am I supposed to run to now? Huh

Who can I run to (Who can I run to?)

To share this empty space? (Tell me)

Who can I run to

When I need love? (Oh, oh)

Who can I run to (Who can I run to?)

To fill this empty space with laughter?

Who can I run to

When I need love? (Look)

Where you been at now?

Tryna figure out where your head at now

Everything I did, I regret that now

They say true love you gon' find just once

If you find its touch, don't step back now

I told them other girls, they can sit back down

I love the way you look when you in that gown

I mean that too

'Cause you the one-of-one and I believe that's you

I never met nobody that can be that cool

I know you see me lookin', I can see that view

And everything I say, you can believe that's true

I never knew that when I fucked up I would be that fool

How could I be that cruel?

Shouldn't be eatin' at me, I wanna eat at you

And if you put your legs open, I'ma eat that too

I'm like, let me explain (Let me explain)

But I must speak first

Lot of shit done really cut me, hurt

Couldn't love you 'til I loved me first

Never knew that love means work (Work)

Had to learn that the hard way

Tired of runnin' every time we have a hard day

Had to learn that I was lovin' you the wrong way

Can you call me?

Or could you unblock me?

Or maybe you could come through now

Maybe we can do a little one-two now

Maybe you can let a nigga love you down (Yeah)

When I lost you, I lost your friendship too

So ready, I'ma trust you now

You're all that I got, so if I don't got you

Tell me who am I supposed to run to now? Huh

Who can I run to (Who can I run to?)

To share this empty space? (Tell me)

Who can I run to

When I need love? (Oh, oh)

Who can I run to (Who can I run to?)

To fill this empty space with laughter?

Who can I run to

When I need love?

Who can—

Who can I run to? (Who can I run to?)

Oh

When I need love?

Who can—

Who can I run to?

When I need love?

Si señora, sino por el

It's like damn, man, what the fuck is wrong with this camera, man?

Mm

Cut U Off lyrics - Joyner Lucas & YoungBoy Never Broke Again

Joyner, Joyner

Yeah

I can tell they switchin' when I read the signs

Ain't too many left in my circle, had to re-design (Ayy)

I got comfortable with disappointment, so I'll be just fine (Yeah)

Rather be alone, I've been valuin' my peace of mind (Yeah, yeah)

Keep it funky, we don't need to vibe

If you hit my line and I don't answer, don't you be surprised (Yeah)

You ain't on my wave (Woah), hope that you can read between the lines (Woah)

I don't think we need no ties (Yeah), I don't—, ah

Yeah, rather not associate with suckers, we don't need no ties

Sick of niggas actin' like they motherfuckin' sneaker size

You ain't real, I knew it, you too good at playin' peek-and-hide (Yeah)

I ain't wanna do it, but I'm 'bout to be on demon time

Yeah, twin Glocks, call 'em Nina Sky

They gon' move your body, then somebody 'bout to see you die

Bitch, don't make me violent, you gon' make me show my evil side

Bitch, don't get me started 'cause you know that I'ma need to slide

Wait (Joyner), I honestly might (Woo)

I used to call you my twin, but really, the truth is we not too alike (Woo)

I used to think all that loyalty shit is as easy as ridin' a bike (Damn)

I did a lot for the same niggas who wanna kill me and drop me on sight (Sight)

Yeah, I went to war with some niggas who stabbed me and threw me on top of the knife

That was the day that I realized as long as I'm winnin', then niggas'll plot on my life (Wow)

Yeah, I told myself, "Boy, you gotta just shoot when the shit hit the fan"

If I make it out then I'ma stick to the plan

And I hope that you bitches are good with the hands, I'm startin' a fight, right?

And I'm on, so don't tell me when I'm off (Ayy)

That's a sacrifice, they don't tell me what it cost (Grrah)

We done grew apart and I know I'm better off (Ayy)

And you used to be my dawg, now I gotta cut you off

Cut you off, cut you off

And I know that I'll be better off

Better off, yeah (Joyner, yeah)

Fuck it, yeah, I had to cut you off (Woah)

Cut you off, cut you off

And I know that I'll be better off

'Cause I'm a boss (Ayy), the fuck you thought? (Fuck you thought?)

Ah, yeah, yeah

Bad intentions, I know that I would have put you in position

Fuckin' around with your friends, advice they put in, ain't helpin' you get it, uh

I bought this bitch for my girl, this another Bentley

Had to cut you straight off, would've put you in it

You've been runnin' your mouth, tellin' all the business

Gotta know that ain't law, I ain't fuckin' with it

'Nother tape I put out, that's another million

She leave out, 'nother enterin' in a minute

She don't like me, I know she just want to get it

Had to kick the bitch out 'bout playin' with me

I ain't friendly, they know I ain't linkin' with 'em

Runnin' off with that sack, put it in the middle

Got like three-hundred racks in a continental

Got a thirty, jump out and I'm sprayin' with it, uh

Made me cut you off, she know that I mean it (Mean it)

I can't trust these niggas, that ain't easy, easy

Ooh, let me find out you schemin', okay, that's a good reason

But fuck it, now I gotta cut you off

Cut you off, cut you off

And I know that I'll be better off

Better off, yeah (Joyner)

Fuck it, yeah, I had to cut you off (Woah)

Cut you off, cut you off

And I know that I'll be better off

Better off, better off, yeah

Fuck it, yeah, I had to cut you off

That's impossible

A bold three detergent plus fabric softener

What's That? lyrics - Joyner Lucas

Buh, buh, buh...

Brrrat

Can't catch me when I'm too damn fast

Skrrt, ayy, you can't last

Worked too hard just to turn back now

If they don't like me, that's too damn bad (Ayy)

Bitch, don't touch what you can't have (Yuh)

Yeah, you can't have

Just 'cause I fuck, don't mean she mine

I tossed that bitch with a two-hand pass

I just tied up Khaled, now I got the keys

Straight from the block, I hop out the P's (Brrat, brrat)

Joyner got niggas that'll hop out and squeeze (Brrat, brrat)

Leave a nigga jumpin' out his Dada Supremes (Brrrrrrat)

I gotta breathe (Huff)

I don't get enough credit, bitch, shout out to me

Snitch ass bitch just brought out the D's (Skr)

Wu-Tang shit, I brought out the Bees

Ayy, worked too hard to go back to the days where I made just a minimum wage, what's that? (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

I need head three times a day, if not we ain't on the same page, what's that?

Google fucking up my net worth, say I got two, three M's to my name, what's that?

Nigga, I done made at least twenty M's, bitch, better fix that shit, I'm paid, what's that? (Brrt, brrt)

This a flex, this ain't a pissin' test (Skr)

Fuck the disrespect, I gotta interject

I gotta lift the weight, tell all my bench to press (Okay)

My life been the shit, you niggas been depressed

You either misdirected or you incorrect

I got a Smith & Wesson, let it rip your flesh

And let it split your neck until you missing sections

I'm an evil curse inside a bigger blessing, nigga (Brrat, ayy)

I don't wanna be in no relationship, I don't need no one playing with my head, what's that?

I made too much money last year, Uncle Sam took half of my bread, what's that?

I know you really want the 'Rari but you had to settle for the 'Vette instead, what's that?

Lil' bitch stuck in my web, what's that? Doc said I'm off of my meds, what's that?

Let's go [*bang*] [*bang*]

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la...

I don't even smoke, nigga and I'm-

I feel like smoking today

Ayy, back in the days, I was nickel and dimin'

They want my soul, but won't give me a diamond

I want it all, I'ma dig in your pockets

She wanna fuck me to get in my wallet (Woah)

My rims are clean, they be sitting in comet

I'm 'bout to count all my commas in private

Our bank account ain't got nothin' in common, nigga (Look)

And your common sense don't make cents with my commas

If you got no sense or no commas don't comment

Bitch, I'm so wavy, I live on a island

Nah, scratch that

I'm floatin' on stars and eatin' some ramen

I'm not from this world, I got houses on comets, I promise

Yeah, I been trappin' out the motherfuckin' hallway

Niggas ain't learn, now they gotta learn the hard way (Woo)

Empty my clip like John Wayne

Niggas wanna play, they must think it's a broadway (Ooo)

Oh, you want beef? That's okay

Bitch, it's a wrap, that's word to Chipotle (Uh)

Lock shit down like probate

In your bitch mouth, that's word to Colgate (Mmm)

I kept the nine up in my momma crib (Bah)

Was sellin' nickels and dimes, then the Klonopins (Bah)

I had the juice on my mind, thought I was Radames (Bah)

I kept some niggas in line, they knew what time it is (Bah, bah)

I can never go back to the times when I was packagin' (Bah)

Tryin' to get out the back of the projects where my auntie live (Bah, bah)

Up in the trap or apartments, couldn't sit back and recline (Bah, bah)

'Cause up in the back of my mind I knew it was a matter of time before I die (Bah, brrat)

Cyborg (Cyborg)

Niggas wonder why I got a different color eye for (Aye)

My Lord (My Lord)

Terminator Lucas knock a nigga off his high horse (Pew)

Sky born (Skrrt)

I'm the type of nigga that honest bitches'll lie for

I'm the type of nigga that all you bitches'll die for

I'm the type of drug that a sober bitch'll get high for (Brrrat, ayy)

I don't wanna be in no relationship, I don't need no one playing with my head, what's that?

I made too much money last year, Uncle Sam took half of my bread, what's that?

I know you really want the 'Rari but you had to settle for the 'Vette instead, what's that?

Lil' bitch stuck in my web, what's that? Doc said I'm off of my meds, what's that?

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-

Because when I got back and I found out that he'd stolen-

Lies have gotten all of us into so much trouble

Sticks & Stones lyrics - Joyner Lucas & Conway The Machine

[Conway the Machine:]

Yeah

Uh

Talk to these niggas king

Look

Ayo, it be at least ten niggas shot every week (Grr)

Get out of the streets, this ain't a game, this shit not for the weak, just save your momma the grief (Uh-huh)

Young niggas turn you to a pack, smoke you out of a leaf

Fiend shootin' in her toe knuckle, she noddin' to sleep (Haha)

I accomplished a bunch of shit that's way out of your reach

And I'm still not at my peak, screamin' on the label, "All of them budgets gotta increase"

My project complete, yeah (This shit finished)

Look, if it ain't the Spade, this a bottle of Clicq'

Kalamata olives inside of my Greek, you know the motto, make a million dollars, repeat (Ooh)

Got that down to a T (Talk to 'em)

The money machine ring and no wonder Machine seen in that Cullinan thing greenish (Hahaha)

That brother just seems genius (Yeah)

They talk the most but they haven't done anything meaningful yet, I'm at your neck

My releases is your financial threat, substantial checks

Impact from my next patch is predicted to crash the net (Ah)

Look, you comin' for Machine? Then you better be at your best

Boy, you know the rule, you better clap if you flash your sket, facts

You know whenever we did them shows, SK and them niggas drove

You know if he pullin' up then he comin' with his poles (You know what that mean)

Nigga, play with us, then bro wipin' a nigga nose (Woo, woo)

His reaction is put you on a shirt (Boom-boom-boom-boom), no Kenneth Cole

[Joyner Lucas:]

My nigga, I'm in the zone

Reflectin' on my life and where I've been as I sip Patrón (Yeah)

And who needs a money phone? My money talkin', no Vic Damone (Brr)

And who needs a wife when I keep that pipe? That's Mrs. Jones (Uh)

Ain't nothin' worse than havin' love for niggas with twisted souls (Yeah)

The ones you call your brothers, grab the shovel and dig a hole (Uh)

I've seen my own family stab my back, I should've known

They say sticks and stones'll break your bones, I'm sticks and stones

I wish I could pick up phones, but

I know there ain't no way in hell (Yeah)

I think this rappin' shit is cool and, yeah, I played it well

But really I been contemplatin' quittin' if we stayin' real

But would you walk away from fifty million or be Dave Chappelle? (Uh)

I'd rather cry inside a yacht than an '88 Deville

Fuck my bitch over the balcony while we was chasin' whales

Private chefs, dinin' best, lots of major meals

But when I'm with my kids, I'm at my best, that's how I stay fulfilled (Yeah)

Nights in Miami, gettin' drunk and whippin' foreigns (Uh)

Just copped the new Urus, you still buffin' up the Taurus (Damn)

Stuntin' on you niggas, fly as fuck when I'm in orbit

Bought my mansion all in cash, you niggas fuckin' up your mortgage (Ooh)

You want the fame and glory but don't got numbers to support it (Word)

If you don't give me my flowers, bitch, I'm comin' with a florist (Damn)

Your shorty ain't a groupie, she just fuck me 'cause I'm gorgeous

Hate when niggas kiss and tell, y'all just ain't nothin' but informants

Better get real, I do this for my niggas locked up, sleepin' on bed still (Yeah)

I do this for my niggas trappin', workin' on their best skills (Yeah)

For niggas out here stressin', head is spinnin' like roulette wheels (Uh-huh)

Tryna make it back to home base with snakes in the left field (Joyner)

And I don't know how death feels, but I'll tell you how success feels

I'll tell you what it's like to have to worry 'bout your next meal (Uh-huh)

I'll tell you what it's like to know who's a hundred and who's less real (Uh-huh)

I'll tell you what it's like, uh, I'll tell you what it's like for real

Best For Me lyrics - Joyner Lucas & Jelly Roll

[Jelly Roll:]

How can you love someone and learn to let them go?

How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?

And isn't it funny you can change your ways

For someone to fill in your empty space?

Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?

[Joyner Lucas:]

Yeah, I got somebody I love (Yeah)

Someone who's really important to me, but now they addicted to drugs (Damn)

Someone who not who they used to be and we ain't been keepin' in touch (Yeah)

I ain't gonna say any names at all 'cause I don't want no one to judge (Woah)

But I wrote this song in hopes when they'll hear it, they'll never forget who they was

I hope you feelin' your spirit enough (Joyner)

I wanna just tell you I love you in case that you really don't hear it as much (Woah)

I know we ain't talked in a while, but fuck it, I really don't care what it was

I wanna reach out, but you keep on shuttin' me down, or you ain't been carin' as much

And what the fuck happened to you? (Fuck happened to you?)

You're losin' a fight (Damn)

I never thought I'd see the day that you let addiction ruin your life

Everyone callin' that shit a disease and you makin' feel like you in the right

But I hate the fact that you really be usin' that as an excuse to do what you like

Or do what you might (Do what you might, woah)

And I keep on prayin' and reachin' for you

I hope you look in the mirror and see all the things I been seein' in you

Hope your reflection'll send you a message and show you this shit is much deeper than you

If you don't believe in yourself, then you'll never believe in somebody believin' in you

When I gotta tell you truth (Tell you the truth)

'Cause I'm 'bout to lose it (Lose it)

And you wan' deny all about it and just wanna make up a million excuses

Tearin' our family apart, but you'll leave us scarred and everyone bruises

Every decision affectin' us all and if you get lost, then everyone loses

For real

And I'ma be next to leave

I know that God got a plan and He ain't fulfillin' your destiny

Much as I need you, I will not be stickin' around or watchin' you rest in peace

I promise, I love you, but I gotta do what's best for me

[Jelly Roll:]

How can you love someone and learn to let them go?

How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?

And isn't it funny you can change your ways

For someone to fill in your empty space?

Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?

[Joyner Lucas:]

Look, I know you been callin' for me (Yeah)

You hittin' my phone, but I been alone so long, I'm harder to reach (Joyner)

I know you ain't say any names, but I got a feeling you talkin' to me

I hate when these demons get into my soul, I feel like I'm caught in the beefs (Uh)

How do I look go of something I know is something is bigger and stronger than me?

If I could be honest, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not who you want me to be (Nah)

Nobody is perfect, not even you, so why you keep targettin' me?

I feel like we can't even have a genuine convo without you startin' to preach

I feel like a dog on a leash, it's not what I need

Livin' in hell, warned you when I gotta leave, like how can I breathe?

And how you gon' tell me addiction's not a disease? Fuck do you mean?

If it's not a disease, then why has it gotten to me? It's not what it seems

But you always be makin' me feel like the problem's me

I'm not gonna be who you want me to be, let God decide it for me

And speakin' of God, how the fuck you know all of the plan's He's gotten for me?

So give me a break

I been inchin' away from tryna get outta this dream, I'm driftin' away

How come you only there for me when I be tryna get clean? My biggest mistake

Is me wishin' that things were different, I feel like the drugs is made for sinnin'

It's why I been stuck in the same position, fuck

I'm fallin', but I cannot budge

Been wonderin' why I'm in love with a strange addiction

And why the fuck you always playin' the victim

Lot of this shit that you hate to mention

It sucks 'cause I had to taint your vision

But ain't nothin' left for me

So you could just quit addressin' me

I guess it's just my destiny

So take me as I am or let me be, I'm tired of you stressin' me

'Cause shit, I gotta do what's best for me

[Jelly Roll:]

How can you love someone and learn to let them go?

How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?

And isn't it funny you can change your ways

For someone to fill in your empty space?

Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?

I Didn't Go lyrics - Joyner Lucas (feat. Symba & DMX)

[Joyner Lucas:]

Yo

Either you play the game or the game plays you (Facts)

And if you don't picture, nigga, change angles (Word)

We used to be broke, now our chains dangle (Yeah)

And before the theatre at my crib, it was playin' cable (Mm)

Oh, are you lame, ain't you? (Yeah)

And if you lame, you stay lame, money can't change you

I'm a bigger artist, and I don't care if we on the same label

I'll put a baby and a plan B in the same gravel (Grr, baow)

Gettin' rich was my only plan (Ayy)

'Cause you can't raise my son and have an OnlyFans (Facts)

Project windows was my only fans (Yeah)

Take my momma out the hood, that was my only plan (Joyner)

I'm an overthinker that overplans

You still throwin' hayemakers, praying and hope it lands

My sins gon' kill me and I know it can

Like starin' down a barrel of that nine but I hope it jams (Grr, baow)

Why do niggas hate me? I can't find an answer (Uh)

They remind of some tumors, that's a lot of cancer

Or a lot of banter

Don't know if my son'll be disappointed or surprised after he finds out I'm Santa (Yeah)

In order to live I needed to know how I could hide the tantrums (Woah)

In order to get why I needed to go, I took a lot of slander (Facts)

And took a lot of chances (Yeah)

I told wifey, "I got rules, if you call and I'm with my ho then I don't gotta answer (Baow)

You say that I ain't shit, well, you maybe right (Facts)

'Cause I can sell your momma drugs after I lay the pipe

I can sell a bitch dope after I raise the price

Fuckin' stabbed in the back, I'd rather face the knife

And I want all the smoke, this is not haze

This that homegrown Methadone, John Blaze (Huh)

I hate when you niggas act like you not phased (Woah)

I hate when my bitches act like they not slaves (Ah)

And I'm a born sinner but I got saved (Joyner)

Show up to the church then I got paid (Joyner)

I'm what God made (Brr)

And fuck a durag, I had so many brushes with death, I think I got waves

Lil' roach, I think I got Raid

Pest control on a nigga, I sprayed

The day you can picture givin' cops names

The day that you can picture A$AP Rocky without braids

[Symba:]

Picture niggas rollin', flyin', foreign floatin' out of space (Ayy)

Or bitches on Instagram with no filter face (Face)

Picture if judges ain't judge us by our race

My nigga Thugga Thugga would be free, I pray he beat his case (His case)

Picture the industry when it's missin' me

Niggas run they mouth with no insurance, can't even fix they teeth

Everybody tellin' me, "Stay woke", but shit, I need some sleep

I'm 'bout to change my number, drop a comment if we need to speak

All you niggas who did less for me, tryna get next to me

I don't trust you niggas with no money but got expertise (Haha)

Level up or leave, pull up in them SUVs

Security is refugees, travel 'cross the seven seas

People in my pocket like I ain't got one at home to feed

Fell out with my cousin 'cause I won't spot him eleven G's

Aunty mad 'cause I don't call as much as she be callin' me

I swear to God, sometimes I wish my family had a referee (Brr, shh)

Big dogs gotta play for keeps (Play for keeps)

I'm courtside or I'm in the suites (Facts, baby)

Some niggas said I don't support the streets (Who's that?)

He just mad that I ain't like his beats (Haha)

The insecurity so loud

When you win, they wanna stop you, I'm guessin' that's how it go now

[Joyner Lucas:]

And at this point, I felt like my kids are the only thing that keeps me goin', you know what I mean? Like

They just uncovered the real you

Three Little Pigs lyrics - Joyner Lucas

You know you supposed to be sleep, right?

And you too old for these bedtime stories too

But aight, I'ma read you a story

But you gotta make a deal with me though

After I read you this, you goin' to bed

That's the deal, alright

So this story right here

Is called the Three Little Pigs

Said there were Three Little Pigs, they was all grown up

And they were drinkin' some hot coffee, and eatin' donuts

It was a beautiful sunny day

Some real perfect weather, and the pigs was dressed the same

'Cause they all worked together

And their job ain't really easy, and their work is kinda scary

So they all got water guns, that's their favorite thing to carry

And they'll scorch you more than once, if they think it's necessary

But we'll talk about that later, let's get back to the story

Deep inside the forest was a family of wolves in a pack

Even though they had sharp teeth and they were black

Ain't really mean that they'll attack

Just means that they were trapped

Because the color of their fur made some believe that they was bad, now

I know that sounds sad but ain't nodody care 'cause

The problem with the wolves is they were never treated fair and

No matter where they go, only one thing is clear

That as long as you're a wolf, the pigs gon' be scared so

The forest and the town were separated

And if the wolves wanted to come around, they hesitated

'Cause they knew they wasn't welcomed there, so every they roamed

They always said a prayer in hopes that they could make it home

The night was gettin' cold and all the food was runnin' low

And then right here is a picture of some pots on the stove

Some empty cabinets, some old bread with the mold (Let me flip the page real quick)

Then one of the wolf said they gon' drive up to the store

And so we hopped inside his car, and before he cranked the key

He put his seatbelt on and buckled up to be as safe can be

Followed every traffic rule on the way from A to Z

And then he went to—, man, let me—, let me skip to the good part

So after he bought some groceries and he was done for good

And he put the food inside in trunk as fast as he could

Then he started drivin' perfectly and headed towards the woods

Until he seen the pigs' car and knew this probably wasn't good

The pigs on the prowl started speedin' up and yellin' loud, "Pull over right now'

"Turn the car off and throw the keys on the ground"

"Then step out, and get on your knees and don't even make a sound"

The wolf said, "Wow" (Wow)

"How is this allowed?

I got my license, registration, why you tryna take me down?"

And he was real scared 'cause he knew what the pigs about

So he refused to get out and started speedin' to house

Then he pulled up, hopped out, almost fell down

But ran inside the front door, that's when he locked the pigs out

Then the pigs screamed loud, "Get up out this house now or I'ma huff, I'm puff, I'ma blow this house down" (Down)

And now they got the house surrounded

Pointin' all their water guns, 'bout to shoot some water rounds

Kicked the door down and all they heard was water sounds

That's what happens when the pigs fear you

So here's the moral, what a story, what a clear view

No matter who you with, or where you're at, or where to

There's always gon' be Three Little Pigs livin' near you

Good night, buddy

24 Hours To Live lyrics - Joyner Lucas

Me and my niggas outside of the crib, blowin' the smoke and rollin' a few

Shootin' some dice and makin' it flip, we gettin' it lit, you know it what it do (Yeah, yeah)

One of my homies said, "I got a question, I wanna know, like what would you choose

If you had twenty-four hours to live then where would you go? And what would you do?" (Grr)

I'm 'bout to catch a few felonies

Load up the trunk and then head to the Beverly's

Hop out the whip and then rob a celebrity

Take all his shit and then steal his identity (Grrah)

Strap on a vest and go kill all my enemies

Slap any hater that showed any jealousy

Shoot every broski that tried to get next to me (Yeah)

After this shit, they all gonna remember me (Grrah)

Stick up the bag and then empty the drawer (Empty the drawer)

Get in the floor

Take from the rich and then give to the poor

Give them the shit that they couldn't afford (Yeah)

Buy 'em all cribs and then give 'em a tour (Give 'em a tour, skrrt)

Whippin' a Porsche

Skrrt on the cops, ain't no flippin' the law

Bury the opps and then dig up the corpse

Throw me a party with all of the bros and then turn every day to a holiday (Holiday)

I'll have an orgy with all of the hoes who ain't never wan' give me the time of day (Time of day)

Catch 'em all lackin' and kidnap you rappers who told the police and cooperate (Cooperate)

Break into prison and free all the hitters and give all them niggas a lobster plate (Let's go)

Pull up to the fuckin' White House with an AK

Go inside and cut the lights out then I make way (Yeah)

Tell the government to pipe down, we don't play safe

Everybody on the block now get a payday

Stay ready and I'm on the prowl with a straight blade

Guaranteed the shit'll go down like a mayday

Make 'em renovate the whole hood then I vacate

Lot of niggas doin' no good but they maintain

I'ma gun down every pedophile

Wonder if I'll get to heaven now, I'm a criminal

I'll take every dead beat daddy, put 'em in the ground (Woah)

Niggas actin' like they been around but they in and out (Yeah)

I'ma run a couple hundred miles then I'm givin' out

Hope to the people at the bottom that can never smile (Woah)

I can feel the clock runnin' low, any minute now (Woah)

Everything I ever wanted, I'ma go and get it now, nigga, now (Grrah, bah, bah)

And I'm 'bout to catch a few felonies, load up the trunk and then head to the Beverly's (Ayy)

Hop out the whip and then rob a celebrity, take all his shit and then steal his identity (Bah-bah, bah-baow)

Strap on a vest then go kill all my enemies (Woah), slap any hater that showed any jealousy (Woah)

If you had twenty-four hours to live with it (Woah)

What would you do if it was you instead of me? (Grrah, bah-bah-bah)

What would you do? (Twenty-four hours)

What would you do? (Twenty-four hours)

And what would you do? (Twenty-four hours)

I got a question, I wanna know, like what would you do? (Twenty-four hours)

Where would you go? (Twenty-four hours)

And what would you choose? (Twenty-four hours)

See, I got a question, I wanna know like what would you do?

Would you go crazy because of it?

Kill every nigga you holdin' a grudge against? (Grrah)

Line up the plug and then steal you a hundred bricks? (Bah)

Slap any nigga that did any sucker shit? (Bah-bah-bah)

Run in the crib and then take what you wanna get?

Load up the choppers and scheme on the government? (Grr)

Twenty-four hours is all that you gonna get

Would you go stupid or would you do none of it?

And I'm comin' for every nigga that owe me cake

Better have every single penny and don't be late

All the runnin' and hidin' you doin' won't be safe

We ain't talkin' and I don't wanna negotiate

I'ma fuck all your baby mamas and procreate

Give your son a new little brother I hope he hate

Got a bullet for every nigga that told me, "Wait"

No more ramen and OJ, I need a Kobe steak (Grr)

Sick and tired of niggas braggin', better give me your jewelry

If I don't take it off then you'll be givin' it to me (Bah)

I murder every bully that be gettin' unruly

This for every nigga that thought they was livin' a movie (Grr)

Way too many on my list that was darin' to move me

This for anybody that was swearin' they knew me

I'll take every motherfucker who did animal cruelty

Line 'em all up in a row, someone hand me the Uzi (Grrah)

And you gon' see what happens next

'Cause when the clock hits stop, I can laugh at death (Ayy)

I got a bulletproof heart, I don't have a vest (Ayy)

Before I die, ask God if I passed the test (Bah-bah, bah-bah)

Take all my money out the crib then I cash a check (Woah)

Then give it all of it to my kids, that's my last request (Woah)

If you had twenty-four hours of action left (Woah)

Then tell me what you gon' do if your ass was next? (Grrah, bah-bah)

What would you do? (Twenty-four hours)

What would you do? (Twenty-four hours)

And what would you do? (Twenty-four hours)

I got a question, I wanna know, like what would you do? (Twenty-four hours)

Where would you go? (Twenty-four hours)

And what would you choose? (Twenty-four hours)

See, I got a question, I wanna know like what would you do? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Would you go crazy because it?

Kill every nigga you holdin' a grudge against? (Grrah)

Line up the plug and then steal you a hundred bricks? (Bah)

Slap any nigga that did any sucker shit? (Bah-bah-bah)

Run in the crib and then take what you wanna get?

Load up the choppers and scheme on the government? (Grr)

Twenty-four hours is all the you gonna get

Would you go stupid or would you do none of it? (None of it, none of it, none of it)

"Hey, Doc, what's the news?"

Doc says, "I have some bad news and some really bad news

The bad news is that you only have twenty-four hours to live"

Fred can't believe it, says, "Oh my God, what could be worse news than that?"

Doctor says, "I couldn't get ahold of you yesterday"

Hahaha, haha

Still Alright lyrics - Joyner Lucas (feat. Logic & Twista)

[Joyner Lucas:]

Tell me what do you see when you look in my eyes? (Yeah)

Got a lot on my mind

Hopin' I never be goin' out of my mind

Been tryna control when I grow out of my prime

I thought I was ready, it really wasn't my time, I know

I live in my head

I said I'd be rich and I did what I did

But I don't do this shit for me, I do this shit for my kids

I teach 'em how to go and get it when they ready to leave

I'm tired of livin' up in hell when I know heaven is free

And nothin' really more important than protectin' the peace

I wanna teach 'em how to grow up and be better than me

When I was chasin' all the paper, with no second to breathe

And I tell myself to never give up and accept no defeat

My premonitions already written in definitely

But I never listen, I know my vision and never could see

And truthfully, I wasn't even supposed to make it this far (Ayy)

I take it this far

I know that God got me, I'm thankin' him for (Yeah)

Soon as I get it, then I'll be payin' him for it

You know you made it when all the haters support (Haters support)

The haters support (Yeah)

Joyner been workin' and I ain't takin' no shorts

When they tell me be humble, then I'ma take in too far

Shit, I used to feel like Will, now I'm feelin' like uh

Made mistakes, can't get it right, yeah

Niggas can't stand me, I'm livin' like ooh

Tryna win the Grammy like killin' my, uh

I'm a underdog like Killer Mike, yeah

Took a lot of Ls tryna win the fight, ooh

Got back up, I'm still alright, yeah

I be alright, I'm still alright, yeah

And I don't really care 'bout nothin' except for keepin' my legacy

Hopin' I be livin' long enough to sleep with the enemy

Had to take a shot for every nigga tryna get rid of me

I should take a look inside of my soul and see what they did to me

I got a fire inside me and it's sleepin' within me

When I look inside the mirror, all I see is the little me

Wishin' I could break out but I hope the evil no hinder me

If I overcome it, then I be achievin' the victory, yeah

[Logic:]

What you really want? What it really get?

'Cause I remember livin' my life with a [milly?] face

So many gears, I thought I had a million ideas

So I had a fire peace and release nonsense

I do it for the art, not the content

All I really wanted was the acceptance

Now as a man I can vent this

Fuck that endless

Do what you love in this life, don't let hate in your life

Know they work for a job 'til you eighty

And look back like, "Damn, I really done gave 'em my life"

If I save just one life with this verse, then it's worth it

If this is your future, you need to reverse it

Ain't nobody perfect

Man, fuck all that cake, it ain't worth it

Just take what you buried deep down in the dirt and I know that you heard it

The voice from within, not above

So just do what you love

Ain't no way I could keep it up feelin' this feelin'

It's creepin' up, tellin' me I will not be enough

No, wasn't bein' me enough

I think I see enough of what I don't want in my life

Give a damn if it's right, it's the reason I write

Need a reason to fight 'cause I need it in sight

With these monsters in sight, it get darker than what I would like

But I know I'm alright

[Twista:]

Ain't nobody you could never know my struggle

As a child, goin' through shit way harder to blow than out a bubble

And I know lot of trouble before I got to the lyrical ability

The water that was flowin' out a funnel

Had to channel the aggression and depression

For only a moment when I had to realize rappin' ain't it

When there wasn't no more money from a record deal

I couldn't get another one, so I was about to quit

Had to get a job

Didn't wanna be a slob, even though I would rather be spittin' bars

Then one day, somebody saw me at work and said, "Twista, why are you in here washin' cars?"

That hurt my heart

That shit tore me apart

So I prayed up to God

That if I ever got another chance at music, I won't take it granted

I'ma dunk if I get the lob

Rented an AK from Do Or Die

He said, "Come to the studio, I'll put you on a song"

Start my new gig in the mornin', but I'ma come after

This is my chance to get back on

Thankful that I was livin' at my brother's house, but it weren't my own

So I'ma finna go in

I walked in the lab and the beat was by Crackster

Title of the song was "Po Pimp"

I said, "Ooh, snap"

I told 'em I'm about to jack

Spittin' funky like I'm a MAC

I'ma come off so hard on this track

It's gon' change my condition and change the way people rap

Might be broke as shit and collectin' no dough from tips

But be spittin' more game than a mouth full of poker chips

And I was glad that the world recognize how dope this is

And the prayer was effective

If you stressed and depressed, let this come and soak in your brain

First time that I ever played "Po Pimp" for somebody, I was on the way to work on the train

And I didn't quit it 'til the record was droppin'

But when I did it, I knew it was right

'Cause through my prayers and my faith and my words, it get darker than what I would like but I know I'm alright

Seventeen lyrics - Joyner Lucas

Rest in peace Mac Miller, yeah

Copped the whip, I had to stunt on haters, rest in peace (Rest in peace)

Glad I made it out the bricks, I thought I'd never leave (Oh, yeah)

Never knew that gettin' richer would make me enemies (Woah, woah)

Crazy how I look up to my idols, now they check for me (Ayy, ayy)

Fuck relationships, I need a bitch to count some checks with me (Ayy, ayy)

I don't need no ho to blow my phone and keep on pressin' me (Joyner)

If you never liked me, I just hope you keep the energy (Woah, woah)

They never knew that one day all this shit I be dreamin' about, I'd be livin' it (Ayy)

Jump out the window and took the advantage, I know my potential is limitless (Joyner)

Never respected a fuck nigga poppin' that shit then they run to the internet (Ayy)

Runnin' your mouth when I'm runnin' a check, I be feelin' my money's unlimited (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I bet that shit kinda funny now, isn't it?

I know that karma don't come with the benefit (Woah)

I got no faith in the new generation, the rappers are fuckin' illiterate (Woah)

I know that timin' is money, I learn how to watch all the suckers I spent it wit'

I don't need love, with my gun it's attentative

You wanna start it? Then fuck it, I finish it (Grr, baow, baow)

I know that all of you Crips is targets

I gotta push the margin

I told my ho, "I don't need you"

I'ma be good regardless

Straight from the hood apartments

I did my dirt and then took the charges

You wanted smoke and I wish to spark it

They never knew I was good at arson (Yeah, yeah)

Even when nobody got me, fuck it, I got me though (I got me)

Who am I supposed to look up to when I grew up on The Cosby Show? (Yeah)

If you never liked me, I just hope you keep the energy (Woah, woah, woah)

I woke up this mornin' then made me some money, I really just caught me a vibe (Yeah)

Took back the foreign and bought the DeLorean and I think I'm Marty McFly (Let's go)

I drove her back to the year where these pussy ass niggas ain't want me alive (Joyner)

Now I got a bed full of baddies, don't know who I'm fuckin', it's hard to decide (Baow, baow, baow)

They be like, "How do you do it?"

I told them, "It's easy to quit, but it's harder to try" (Uh-huh)

I do this shit for the days that a nigga was walkin', ain't nobody offered no ride (Yeah, yeah)

I had to fend for myself, ain't have no one to talk when niggas was talkin' to God

I never been one to talk to the cops, lot of these niggas be talkin' a lot (Woah, woah, woah)

The one to not fuck with, none of these niggas, they really be pressin' my buttons (Yeah)

Yeah, I came a long way but I still look backwards, that's word to Benjamin Button (Straight up)

If I give you an order, you better get to it, lil' bitch, it's the end of discussion (Baow, baow, baow)

Ho, if you get in my bed then you fuckin'

God ain't give you the best for nothin' (Ayy, ayy)

I hope you lower your tone when you talkin' to Joyner, don't ever get loud with me (Yeah)

I never cared about nothin' as much as I cared that my mama was proud of me (Woah)

I'm from a city where niggas done shit on me, spit on me then gon' say hi to me

Smile to my face, stab my back, but honestly, ain't no surprisin' me (Look, ayy, ayy, ayy)

I used to pray for shit like this when I was seventeen (Okay)

Hit the block and made a plan, I hope it set me free (Joyner)

Turn that girl into a freak she thought she'd never be (Oh, yeah)

How Much Do You Love Me? lyrics - Joyner Lucas

You don't love me

You say you do, but I never know if you do or you don't, because

You never tell me how much

If you really loved me then, you would tell me how much

I tell you all the time, so you gonna tell me or what?

I love you so much there's not enough that I could say (Say)

If I put how much I love you on a scale, it'll probably break (Break)

I love you more than all the galaxies in outer space

And every single star, and every solar system out the way (Way)

I love you to the point that if I didn't have the cash

And you needed money fast, then I'd probably rob a bank (Facts)

And if there was a food that I could never eat again

Unless I had to wait for you, then I guess I gotta wait (Wait)

I love you more than every drop of water on this planet (Planet)

Includin' all the droplets in the clouds that haven't landed (Landed)

I love you more than Jack loved Rose on the Titanic

And I'll even buy a boat in case you ever wanna chance it

If you was trapped on an island, never seen again

Then I'd try to swim to get you even if I couldn't swim (Word)

And if I couldn't find you 'cause your destiny depends

On the day I stop breathin', then I'll never breathe again (Again)

I love you more than all the words in every single language (Yeah)

More than every letter in every book on all the pages (Uh-huh)

More than all the detail on every picture painted

Probably love you more than I love me, and that shit kinda dangerous (Word)

If you had alopecia, and your hair never grew

Then I would shave my shit bald just so I could look like you (Haha)

If you had one arm and you couldn't tie your shoes

Then I might cut off my arm just to give that shit to you (Facts)

I love you more than Wendy Williams loves tea (Tea)

Probably love you more than Adam ever loved Eve (Eve)

And if you killed someone and told me, then I'd help you hide the body

Which means I'll be an accomplice, but it must be (Be)

Clean up all the DNA then burn the evidence away

While I'm plottin' our escape right out of the country ('Try)

'Cause when I say I'm ride or die, that means I'm really by your side

Ridin' 'til I gotta die and my blood bleed (Bleed, Joyner)

I think I love you so much there's not enough that I could say (Say)

If I put how much I love you on a scale, it'll probably break (Word)

I love you more than Chrisean Rock loves Blueface (Yeah)

I love you more than the ladies love some Cool J (J)

I love you so much that I would step in front a bullet

If a nigga ever pull it, I'll be Bobby Boucher

If we was broke and homeless and my old career was over

I'll be singin' on the corner for a little loose change (Facts)

I love the fact that God took His time when He made you (Mm)

I love you as you are, I hope you don't ever change you (Change you)

I love you to the point that if I ever let you down

I probably won't forgive myself 'cause I don't know how I would face it (Yeah)

My doctor say it isn't healthy how much I praise you (Mm)

I love you so much, I pray for you when I embrace you (Yeah)

On a scale from one to ten, it's too much for me to rate you

But I love you so much I, I, I hate you (I hate you, I hate you, I hate you)

Come rain, come sun

Love you 'til this world is done (Ooh)

Love you 'til this world is done (Ooh, done)

Done

Not Now I'm Busy lyrics - Joyner Lucas (feat. Nefertitti Avani)

[Joyner Lucas:]

Don't tell me that shit didn't record, man

Man, lets try this again

My name is Joyner Lucas

I'm from Worcester, Massachusetts

And, uh

By this time you get this video, it might be too late

I did something really, really bad, man

I killed somebody tonight, yeah

I did

And I don't know if I shoulda did it, but

I felt like it was necessary, nah mean?

The person who I killed was the old me (The old me)

Yeah, see

I realized that everything I ever thought I knew about myself was wrong

And I realized that I had to sacrifice who I was

For who I wanna become (Wanna become)

And I when I say, "Not now, I'm busy"

That means I was too busy to face myself (Face myself)

And too busy to face the truth

And the truth is (Truth is)

The old me got tooken advantage of

The old me got fucked over

The old me got beat down

The old me got shit on and spitted on and lied to

And even though I tried to forgive

And force myself to live with the hurt that I hide behind a smile

While the water overflows as I hold my breath

And block my nose in hopes that I do not drown

And in that moment, I realized that I was lost and couldn't be found

And I needed to heal, I just didn't know how

So I grabbed that gun and did what had to be done

'Cause I couldn't hide, I couldn't run

I just had to die and every drop of blood

Was for every tear that I ever bottled up, now it's a flood

So fuck who you thought I was, you piece of shit

The old me says please forgive, but new me says eat a dick

The old me was supposed to give, the new me don't owe you shit

The old me just don't exist, so fuck you, you—

[Nefertitti Avani:]

I don't need emotions, I need endorphins

(Keep it down, keep it down, shh) Oh, woah

Don't know the pain, that it come with the game

Don't know the sun gon' come after the rain

You been turnin' nothin' into something

(Keep it down, keep it down, shh)

Ain't fuckin' helpful, to be real with ya

All I hear is interruptions

Baby, not now (Oh)

Pipe down (Oh)

Baby, not now (Now, now)

Pipe down (Not now, I'm busy)

Baby, not now (Oh)

Pipe down (Oh)

Baby, not now (Now, now)

Pipe down (Not now, I'm busy)

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?

[*gunshot*]

Hope that he'd never discover it

Wonder if he only knew all the shit that the other kids

I think I need me a ton of it

They wanted drama until I decided to come

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
