lyrics

Chorus:
When I was a yout
I was outside yellin “Gimme da Loot”
Mally and T-Y had taught me to use it
I prayed to God that I didn’t have to shoot
Pops and my mova had split up on paper
The only way we could secure us a roof
Section 8 put us right next to the opps
Niggas shot at my house and so we had to move
Grandma was praying for me every night
I’m living like I could die anyday
I rep my niggas I don’t rep my block
They might respect it or slide anyway
Ain’t really have a position
Out there in the field
I was moving like Bobby Boucher
OG told me if I wanted to ball
I gotta go out and make me a play
So that’s what I did

Verse:
I put the pen to the paper
Regularly battle my neighbors
Back when my lunches were free
But lil Chris wasn’t
And Manny was back out on papers
Split Arizona’s wit niggas
I Argued about who was better tween Biggie or Jigga
Even as lookout
I still had my book out
Lights started flashing
I’d close it
Yell look out
Don’t be out dolo
Unless you a Solo
Best watch your surroundings right after the Gogo
My lil bro bro on go for the lo lo
Then Bullets hit fast put his body in slo mo
Seen the whole thing
If the cops come “I don’t know”
Keeper of my brother
That be the bro code
He asking for saving
But that’s just a promo
Brodie a pro pro
Absent a soul
That’s if you don’t know

Bridge:
I remember when my nigga Mally told me that I had it
Type of nigga that’ll sit in yo back seat
Catch you in traffic
Tellin me, when he hear my shit
It feel like shit could happen
Who knew I could change the mind just off the shit that I was rappin

Chorus:
When I was a yout
I was outside yellin “Gimme da Loot”
Mally and T-Y had taught me to use it
I prayed to God that I didn’t have to shoot
Pops and my mova had split up on paper
The only way we could secure us a roof
Section 8 put us right next to the opps
Niggas shot at my house and so we had to move
Grandma was praying for me every night
I’m living like I could die anyday
I rep my niggas I don’t rep my block
They might respect it or slide anyway
They might respect it or slide anyway
They might respect it or slide anyway
When I was a
