billy burbage - they lyrics
[verse 1]
my city is holy, but full of them demons
i was so young, had to keep scheming
cops all around me, they swear that i’m serving
irs ask me how much i be earning
see all my chains, they know that i’m working
momma told me that she wish i was a surgeon
i found the money so she could quit searching
buy her a house, and it come with a pool
back in the day, i got picked on at school
always in trouble, i broke all the rules
friends keep on leaving me when i would lose
never asleep, i don’t worry ’bout snooze
back in the day, i only had a few shoes
i was so broke, that i couldn’t buy food
haters they dissin’ me, k!lling my mood
me? i get high and i chill on my roof
coming at me, but i’m just a dude
k!lling my city, it’s all on the news
smoke all my dope and it’s easing the pain
i lost some friends that i won’t see again
they were sneak dissing, i don’t wanna hear it
all in my face, and they k!llin’ my spirit
me? i don’t f-ck with no negative vibes
thought i would die, but i’m more than alive
i am so gone, just look at my eyes
smoking on dope and its k!lling my stress
deep in the hollywood, look how i dress
searchin’ for bands, i would juke and finesse
teachers- they told me i’d end up in jail
said i won’t make it, but then i prevailed
i won’t go broke ’cause that ship already sailed
[chorus]
they tried to tell me that i couldn’t make it
they tried to tell me that i couldn’t make it
they tried to tell me that i was too basic
now take a look at the blunts that i’m facing
now take a look at the checks that i’m chasing
they tried to tell me that i couldn’t make it
they tried to tell me that i couldn’t make it
they tried to tell me that i was too basic
[verse 2]
and i don’t have time for any these b-tches
i’m on the road, gettin’ straight to the riches
no one is slowing me down
no one is slowing me now
my best friend- he call me, he hating me now
my father- he call me, i’m paying him now
i might go missing, and leavin’ the town
dappin’ me up when they see me around
knowing d-mn well that they talking me down
my cousin addicted to pills and it hurt
i look in his eyes, and i’m seeing the worst
hoping i don’t put his name on a shirt
dwight always told me to put in that work
now i get paid like it’s always a first
it’s hot in my city, they shootin’ a church
we are a family, let’s never forget it
you’re not from my city, then you will not get it
my bro selling white, tryna stack up a profit
he went to rehab, he still couldn’t stop it
hoes on my phone, now my girl getting jealous
buy her the world, imma buy her [?]
you get them problems, but you get that money
took me a joke, but nothing was funny
nothing but fakes, they all around me
i’m on a run tryna get from the ops
my bro joined a gang and later got shot
did it for streets so he could get props
seeing my uncle and he look depressed
swear when i’m on that the fam will get checks
they tried to tell me to put it to rest
they tried to tell me to put it to rest
[chorus]
they tried to tell me that i couldn’t make it
they tried to tell me that i couldn’t make it
they tried to tell me that i was too basic
now take a look at the blunts that i’m facing
now take a look at the checks that i’m chasing
they tried to tell me that i couldn’t make it
they tried to tell me that i couldn’t make it
they tried to tell me that i was too basic
