Father Figure

(Ayy, yo, Zale this shit sell off)

I used to sit back in my cell and say, "Nah, this can't be it"
Fresh home, back to the trap, my girl moanin' and arguin'
Tellin' me, "Don't make the same mistakes that your father did"
I'ma take care of my fam, I ain't nothin' like my father, bitch
Where I'm from that's how it goes and none of my dogs legit
I'm still tryna buy these poles for the low, man, I'm bargainin'
I ain't a pharmacist, I mix rebase with bicarbonate
And now I'm gardenin', make DHL bring all my parcels in

Youngin pulled the trigger quick on a lick, he was starvin' (thirty)
Twenty deep, walked on the opps for a hit, we was mobbin' (early)
Summer time was on the block pullin' bitches with Marvin (Cap)
Next day he put on hoodies with Slick and went robbin'
Saw my first thousand bows, I thought I was gardenin'
I know how to clear the load, but that's just apart of it (ayy, ayy)
Forty Glizzy keep my blood warm like a cardigan
Transform with my left hand, James Harden (brrt)
Don't know how to keep that flame sparked, don't start it (pussy)
Pardon me and all my postures, say I'm like my father (just say that)
Like my father 'bout my family, I'm 'bout my dollars
Like my father, got that thang on me, blocka-blocka (ayy)
Like some diamonds, we came out the mud
Got our names off of gangs, off of drugs
We got chains, but don't hang in the club 'cause we came 'bout a check (yeah, you know that)
And I'm killin' 'bout respect, why it ain't came off my neck, nigga? (G Herbo)

I'm just a yute from the trench 'bout to put all my niggas on
And when we never had no drill for the place, we stick it on
I make some real shit that you feel in your heart, but still sing along
Tryna shoot niggas though, black on black crime, I think it's wrong
And I know we said preventions better than kill, so I got it
I'll do this whole UK tour with this force in my pocket
Niggas who ain't outside on the net be spreadin' gossip
Unless it's facts before you mention my name, leave a deposit
You ever thought you saw your nigga in the flesh, but he's dead
Had I been dreamin' 'bout him too, it's just my mind playin' tricks again
Observation on my block, don't close shop, we just think ahead
Even when it's on top in the hood, we grippin' skengs
And I don't say this shit for clout or try to glorify the life
I got some remix, I pour some hot water, I'm bout to purify the white
Like home invasions, I just walked in and I caught him by surprise
It's always better when it's random, them niggas pussy without their pipes
