Lyrics Vince Staples

Vince Staples

Turn

Woke up walking on water

Ditching my alma mater

Made a lot of mistakes from mimicking ways of my father

Father can you forgive me? Sinning since I remember

Back when grandaddy died, that was a cold December

They closed his casket while my motherfuckin hope was in it

Soon as you come out the womb they hanging rope for niggas

Groomed for the stone and the tomb, going for broke and shit

We've been that, push shit back, the Devil coaching niggas

Telling 'em to shoot, like a title on the line

When it's judgment time I doubt that God can look me in my eyes

'Fore He send me down to Hell cause I'mma ask a Nigga Why?

Never played it by the book because the Book was full of lies

And the preacher full of shit, and the teacher full of shit

Used to boo me from the bleachers that I'm never gon' forget

Eating $5 Little Caesar's pizzas on the WIC

Cause my daddy left my momma for the motherfucking pen

But when it come down to it, know I'm out here shooting

Cause it's all a nigga got

Yeah that's all a nigga got

When it come down to it know the basehead use it

Cause it's all a nigga got

Yeah that's all a nigga got

Find me posted on the block, cause it's all a nigga got

Couple hundred in the knot, cause it's all a nigga got

Still running from the cops

Cause it's all a nigga got Cause that's all a nigga got

Our Father who art in heaven

Seen my momma dying every day since grade 11

You see her age is catching up to all them years of stressing

Tears is falling and her son too far away to catch 'em

Hard to call and when she call she gotta leave a message

Cause a nigga working

And I'm working so she worry free, guess I defeat the purpose

Medication cost a arm and leg, hardly even worth it

Doctor tripping so it got a nigga feeling John Q, wild

Round sitting in the gun, duck duck goose style

Pressure building up, nigga, what you gonna do now?

Brother kid too now, 12 years in the pen

Seen life end 'fore this shit begin

Sing it then

One for the fucking money

Two for the fucking show

.357 on me, loaded ready to go

I know my bitches love me

Know my enemies don't

My momma know I'm shady

I'm granny bastard baby

Look in the mirror like this is what you made me

I'm going crazy please somebody save me

Jesus way too far gone for him to reach me

To reach me
