clairmont the second – tortoise lyrics
[chorus]
‘member me asking for help
forced me to do it myself
tortoise vs everyone else
tortoise vs everyone else
we missing you, lil mell
weight on us a dumb bell
you told me soon out the hood
tortoise vs everyone else
[verse 1]
every year looking like yeah
wifey be looking like yeah
shoe closet looking like aye
i just copped me a new pair
look what i’ve done before 20
life just won’t ever be fair
ten thousand hours i’ve worked
i’ve been great for a few years
thinking bout cuzzo in jail
i gotta write him some mail
i’ma give myself a year
before we all outta here
people be wilding these days
shouldn’t be living in fear
don’t wanna see anybody
forget the bus i’m shifting gears
i don’t know why people lie
not feeling me, that’s okay
really don’t have to be nice
got my homies anyways
people be acting brand new
but i ain’t go shopping today
all of my wardrobe is old
women in love with the face
know this white girl who said n-gga
then told me she’s white, so what
some people too comfy ’round us
till n-ggas get shot, for what
this funeral thing getting tired
i just wanna see the guns down
don’t wanna be wearing all white
it’s all white when we gunned down
[chorus 2]
we missing you, lil mell
weight on us a dumb bell
you told me soon out the hood
promising you i won’t fail
‘member me asking for help
forced me to do it myself
tortoise vs everyone else
tortoise vs everyone else
[verse 2]
people be talking a lot
but they don’t offer a lot
label was thinking i’m wrong
and they the ones crying a lot
shady as h-ll when i left
these days be all on my jock
suit and tie don’t get the vision
so took my brothers and walked
‘member me asking for help?
forced me to do it myself
everyone wanna take credit
when they see you doing well
i got the numbers myself
got the higher ups timid
how did i sign with a label
leave and do more independent
i heard the ave wasn’t it
but nominated for awards
getting the dub for my granny
getting the dub for my family
getting the team to the grammys
i know some people don’t see it
screw them they don’t understand me
built this myself, they can’t stand it
‘member me asking for help
forced me to do it myself
slowly but surely
tortoise vs everyone else
