bill waves & billy hoyle - rip jake lyrics

[intro]
what’s up, hoyle?
pittsburgh
right out of highland park
it’s pittsburgh, b+tch
i said it’s pittsburgh, b+tch
yeah
yeah, yeah

[verse]
it’s been long time comin’
south oakland alleys sold eighths, but got robbed anytime a local gangster caught me
got jumped by those kids at flagstaff, thank god when they were done i stood back up when they told me to
d+mn man, and i probably walked home funny
i remember beedie bullied me so we fought, and i walked through the parking lot of the shadyside hospital with my head all bl++dy
that’s my brother, if it wasn’t for him and mac i wouldn’t be writin’ this, so when i say, “i love you, bruh”, i promise i never mean anything funny
we’re f+ck+sh+t free, you can’t take that from me
i don’t give a f+ck about your problems, you don’t know what i came back from
all i did was take, take, take, and i finally realized i never gave back nothin’
so i came to reshape my legacy, give thanks, really practice faith, and tell my story
i’ll run circles around you, dummy
you thought i washed up, but i’m still ridin’ waves
it’s big waves, p+ssy, cowabunga, you got nothin’ for me
a lot of men feel like they’re hardo and deezlee, but they’re more like skeeter and doug funny
n0body ever taught me how to fight, so if i ever won one, then i just got lucky
i used to watch movies and feel like i was the hero for the rest of the night
it felt like pills gave me strength, but it just took all my powers from me
the perc’ 30s crushed me, broke me down to powder, my skin had a gray tint
it’s the yellow ghost, you can see the glow from the highland park bridge
every harvest moon, and into the year 2100
my whole album is an admission of my sins, my rights, my wrongs, and all my shortcomings
i just got tired of actin’ like somethin’ i wasn’t
you couldn’t stomach it if you saw it, the truth is so much more important than just tryna look like you got it all
go ahead and act like you can’t lose everything by tomorrow, see how that works for you
twenty years breathin’ in the hot summer pittsburgh mornings, air quality color orange
my neighbor used to answer the door in her towel, took one of my oxys
i woke up to her passed out on my bathroom floor, man, i think she said she was a lawyer or somethin’
back when i used pay my landlord for six months up front in twenties
dope fiends in the bas+m+nt broke in, got the small safe and three thousand cash
thank god they missed the twenty pack in the closet because i got that sh+t fronted
or i might’ve been floatin’ at the bottom of the allegheny river, next to a shoppin’ cart and a bumper
i think it’s safe to say my mom’s prayers amounted to somethin’
i promise you’re just a tourist and i’m the sculpture
put my statue at mckee place and bates, right off of the corner
and rest in peace jake, that was the last place that i saw him
