War Baby

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm from the bottom of the bottom, check your sources, baby I'm a war baby, but I can't divorce the pavement I'm a hood nigga that turned rich so I got Dior's latest And you know I gotta stick to my roots, I still rock Jordans, baby (Yeah) It was hell in the projects, I survived the storm Got brothers in the sky, they die 'fore they born I know the worst conditions make a champion Look at my ice, froze like a mannequin I'm underwater like I'm swimmin' and panickin' Body bags zipped up like a laminate The only solution for the opps is to stay inside How your niggas say they rock, but they don't slide? [Chorus] 'Cause we was hoppin' out in broad day Serving fiends in the hallway (Yeah) Promethazine 'til the mornin' Hope I don't wake up tomorrow We was the type of niggas that would rob the robbers I'ma make the choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da (La-da, la-da) The choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da Survived in the trenches, I'm a war baby (Mhmm) Had to slide on the sliders, that ain't normal, baby (Mhmm) [Verse 2] Like the mob ties in Houston, we got rag ties I pray the Lord forgive me the day that I got baptized 'Cause I'ma clutch the sticky every time a car passin' by I don't wanna be Ricky or another victim to homicide 'Cause I know the soul never dies I make the chrome-chrome fly Bitch, I'm a wave, Roll Tide Bullets at your face, Botox My persona done got her tongue-tied I was taught that a legend never dies When it's time, gotta let the lead fly 'Cause I'm a war-war-war baby Post-traumatic stress, I know the war changed me Had to bend back but they could never break me Had to slide [Chorus] We was hoppin' out in broad day Serving fiends in the hallway Promethazine 'til the mornin' Hope I don't wake up tomorrow We was the type of niggas that would rob the robbers I'ma make the choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da (La-da, la-da) The choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da Survived in the trenches, I'm a war baby Had to slide on the sliders, that ain't normal, baby (Mhmm, yeah) [Outro] Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
