joey bada$ - 80 blocks lyrics

[intro]
“i mean the reason they call him ‘crazy joe’ he goes off once in a while. uhh, but he’s the type of guy you can go to and talk to, you know?
‘uhh joey, look these guys are doin’ somethin’ they have no reason to be doin’, i mean, what’s goin’ on here?’
joey, he’d go out there and talk to ’em and they’ll listen, suddenly joe will go crazy, you know?”

[verse 1: joey bada$$]
hold up
what’s life like now? shots of the expresso
gettin’ star bucks been the basic manifesto
i’m up early mornin’, breakin’ fast through the thresholds (uh-huh)
they tell i’ma wear myself out, but that’s the dress code (swag)
unlock the swag and n-gg- let’s go
we securin’ bags, you n-gg-s insecure and mad
one hundred thirty on the dash, that’s if my n-gg- lex drove
keep the heat, the stash, if you got
usually we positive, just tryna stay blessed though
i’d rather to be safe, never know what to expect yo
in the streets, we livin’ in, n-gg-s invidious, serious
and ’cause of this, inside of me, kept hidden, it’s hideous (uh)
and that’s ugly truth, i’m speakin’ from my troubled youth
to whom i try to give a mental boost when i’m in the booth
been through the struggle, made it out, i’m the livin’ proof
i took the pain like i pull it from my wisdom tooth (n-gg-)

[interlude]
“we’re still surviving, you know we took our bruises and we came out. we survived, we here, we got this, which i think is out of sight”

[verse 2: chuck strangers]
first me and robi break up
now every day i wake up, with more bullsh-t as i arrive to the pulpit
pro era apostle (preach), n-gg- droppin’ gospels
chucky be a reverend, psalm 47
god is the king of all on earth
but after him know that the era is first (know that)
know it’s all about knowin’ your worth
thank christ for savin’ my life today
know i have the right of way
i’m blessed to see a brighter day (blessed)
keep me away from ruthless
you can teach a man a lesson, but don’t make him feel stupid
put me on, don’t put me down, my g
we all out here just tryna be
fine lines between egos and insecurities
you ain’t less of a man if you don’t squeeze (if you don’t squeeze, don’t squeeze)
you not necessarily a man if you do
chalk it up to human nature, ’cause it’s just what men do (it’s just what men do)
self-destruct with no f-cks, all of to give up
i’m chuck, strangers

[outro]
“and like i see a whole new future opening up for me and like i really don’t want to do all the things i’ve done over the years before. i really don’t want to do them again. but, like if i do them, like in the past, i don’t go around bragging ‘i done this, i done that,’ to myself so n-body knows about it. and when n-body knows, word don’t get out and you don’t get busted.”
