Sterling & Lafayette

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm from the corner of Sterling and Lafayette Just down the block and a left from the middle school All of the dramas and beef we would get into Trivial, but, at the time, it felt pivotal Only deep end we went off was the swimming pool Peso just dropped and that's all we would listen to 3:05, we outta class And we all hit the block like, "Ayy, what y'all finna do?" I'm from the corner of Sterling and Lafayette Just right across from the park where it's popping at Been making waves under wraps like a stocking cap Laid in the back of the cut, where you find me at? I do not rest, nigga, I'm an insomniac Is what it is, if it ain't, then it's probably that They do the gimmicks and shit and they hardly ra— [Interlude] *Gunshots* *Police siren* [Verse 2] 8:00 on the dot You hear them sirens, it's 12 on the block Sixteen and getting harassed by the cops Twenty-one, they kicked the door to my spot Twenty-one, I seen my dog in a box Twenty-three now, and I seen me a lot I'm tryna buy a mansion for my momma If I'ma do that, I need this shit to pop Signed a deal and I did not even celebrate Took the check and gave my brother tuition Took the check and then I paid for a lawyer 'Cause niggas left us in a fucked up position Woke up one morning and seen a little note on my door And it said we was getting evicted Ain't go to college, I ain't got no dollars I'm steady pacing back and forth in the kitchen I was paying for the sins of my father He blew the savings on that shit he was sniffing Ain't no money and it ain't no insurance When I was sick, I couldn't get a prescription 'Nother day, another dollar But that ain't enough to cover all the things we was missing Through it all, I never folded or bended I thought I told you niggas I gotta- yeah Man, I was up a couple weeks straight So much stress, I shoulda went gray Dropped an album outta pure pain Top ten the very next day Still ain't where I wanna be Thank God I ain't where I was Down bad, now we looking up This for the ones that got it out the mud Mitchell [Outro] I'm from the corner of Sterling and Lafayette I'm from the corner of I'm from the corner of Sterling and Lafayette I'm from the corner of I'm from the corner of Sterling and Lafayette [?]
