[Intro]
Hey, youngin
I don't know who need to hear this
I know a youngin somewhere in the wold right now is kinda lost
But this life shit get harder by days, this is not easy
[Verse 1]
Thought I beat the odds, now I gotta do this shit again (Do it again)
Took every loss, I'm tryna see why I ain't win yet (Why I ain't win yet)
Ran to the cross, please, forgive for my sins (For my sins)
But everytime them n***as spin, we gon' spin back (We gon' spin back)
[Chorus]
"Poppa, where you been? When you comin' back?"
So far away, I'll prolly go fly away where granny at (Where granny at)
On the highway, ain't been asleep since Friday, I'm chasin' the racks (The rack)
Playin' with DGT, that shit like playin' with me, told him bring back the head
Just talked to Chevvy momma, she said she prayin' for me, that shit do be love
Told me I'm one of her boys, forever grateful she opened her doors (Doors)
Cut n***as off, they couldn't stay on one accord
I been tryna use my voice, tell the youngins the world is yours
[Verse 2]
It's kinda hard when they don't really have a choice (Don't have a choice)
Product of his environment, just tryin' to beat the odds
But they don't want him with more (Nah, nah)
The same pain up inside my eyes, I can see it in yours (I can see it in yours)
Money ain't changed a thing, except I can buy Dior now (Now I can afford it)
I ain't lookin' for no love, that shit got borin' now (That shit got borin')
I would go fuck with my old bitches but they all whores now (They all whores)
They ain't come along with me on the road to the riches, I'm on tour now (I'm on the road)
Prolly on like four now, can't OD, I need to slow it down (I need to slow it down)
Shame on me, I know (I know), put the blame on me, I know (I know)
What goes around, comes right back around (Comes right back around)
Just take the chains and go (And go), I don't want the fame no more (No more)
So let 'em know I'm headed back to town
Say that it's love but don't show it (But they don't show it)
Knowin' I don't need it, tell them n***as keep it (Tell 'em keep it)
Told them n***as secrets (I did)
And they lay down and tuck the covers
It's hard to love, easier to leave me
Why you don't need me? So you let me bleedin' like a killer (Just like a killer)
[Chorus]
"Poppa, where you been? When you comin' back?"
So far away, I'll prolly go fly away where granny at
On the highway, ain't been asleep since Friday, I'm chasin' the racks
Playin' with DGT, that shit like playin' with me, told him bring back the head
Just talked to Chevvy momma, she said she prayin' for me, that shit do be love
Told me I'm one of her boys, forever grateful she opened her doors
Cut n***as off, they couldn't stay on one accord
I been tryna use my voice, tell the youngins the world is yours (The world is yours)
[Verse 3]
"Poppa, where you been? When you comin' back?"
But I don't plan on comin' back, take one look where my grandma at
Years later and still can't see to stomach that
Before I respond to them, I'd rather count a hundred racks (I'd count the racks)
Tryna put them on, they don't want no racks
Wanna get put on, can't flip no packs
It won't be too long (It won't be too long 'til I)
It won't be too long 'til I get Chevvy back
Fuck 'em, right? Go tell 'em that
No more free game, I gotta sell 'em next
