yikes! (editth.is) - trials & tribulations lyrics
[verse 1: anderson .paak]
oh my
time heals all, but you out of time now (now)
judge gotta watch us from the clock tower (true)
lil’ tear gas cleared the whole place out
i’ll be back with the hazmat for the next round
we was tryna protest, then the fires broke out
look out for the secret agents, they be planted in the crowd
said, “it’s civil unrest,” but you sleep so sound
like you don’t hear the screams when we catchin’ beatdowns? (sh+t could get)
stayin’ quiet when they k!llin’ n+ggas, but you speak loud
when we riot, got opinions comin’ from a place of privilege
sicker than the covid how they did him on the ground
speakin’ of the covid, is it still goin’ around?
and won’t you tell me ’bout the lootin’? what’s that really all about?
’cause they throw away black lives like paper towels
plus unemployment rate, what, forty million now?
k!lled a man in broad day, might never see a trial
we just wanna break chains like slaves in the south
started in the north end but we in the downtown
riot cops tried to block, now we got a showdown
[chorus: roddy ricch]
the truth is only what you get away with, huh
i said the truth is only what you get away with, huh?
ayy, that’s why a lot of these n+ggas be fakin’, huh
made it through the trials and tribulations, huh
[verse 2: anderson .paak]
never understand why they do it
someone cut the channel off the news ‘fore i lose it (nah)
i ain’t even trippin’, if you wit’ it, then we lootin’ (nah)
help me put this louis in the back of suzuki (ooh), o+he
had to break it down so smoothly (smooth)
they gon’ say, “it’s not about race,” but we movin’ (f+ckin’) ho, power
copped the trey+pound, had to put that in my name
wish a n+gga play now (yeah)
any given day, i’ll be headed to the pulpits (yeah)
say a lil’ prayer, matter fact, i need two of ’em, ooh
won’t he do it? won’t he do it?
ooh, this ain’t ’92 so we into new rules
n+ggas got hip, so we don’t loot the projects
’bout to hit rodeo with my lil’ cousin marcus
someone threw a whole brick in the neiman marcus (ah)
help me put the whole mannequin in the charger
[chorus: roddy ricch]
the truth is only what you get away with, huh
i said the truth is only what you get away with, huh?
ayy, that’s why a lot of these n+ggas be fakin’, huh
made it through the trials and tribulations, huh
[verse 3: young thug]
my dawg just lost his dawg into the system, it got me f+cked up
i can’t tell him nothin’ negative, so i told him he gon’ luck up
had a bittersweet birthday, got a bad call in a rolls truck (what?)
red guts look watermelon and spaghetti and some ketchup (hey)
all my n+ggas leavin’ me, this sh+t got me depressed (woah)
thought he was gon’ wreck the maserati or the ‘vette
but he on the yard with the old dawgs, they at rec (huh)
i missed a court call, what they said?
[verse 4: lil baby]
no more fake text messages, leave ’em all on read (yeah)
and this game some bullsh+t, but they payin’ so i play it (i play it)
cartier earrings, act like i don’t hear what they be sayin’ (yeah)
keep that sh+t too solid, i spent millions on my family (woo)
none of that sh+t promised, i pay cash, i take chances (woo)
i don’t understand nothin’, i don’t want no advance
blood on these diamonds, they look good, they dance
big truck pull up like a blue ambulance
[chorus: roddy ricch]
the truth is only what you get away with, huh
i said the truth is only what you get away with, huh?
ayy, that’s why a lot of these n+ggas be fakin’, huh
made it through the trials and tribulations, huh
