Nani Layilaa - Child

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, Yeah

My ozone got smoke in it
My old phone got some hoes in it
It only ring when he wanna hit it
And I ain't even one to go with it
My older bro told me gon' get it (Gon' get it)
We ain't had a pot to piss in
We had parking lots and kitchens
Papa in and out of prison
Mama in and out of shifts and
Siblings in here being distant
Niggas out here acting different
I'm just in my cousin's basement
Trying to weigh up grams of piff and
Dreaming to be Scottie Pippen
Living like I'm Bébé kids and
Ain't no posters in my bedroom
I had holes of being livid
Making plans to know what rich is
Based upon my bad decisions
Ain't nobody tried to save us
We are all that we were given

Ooo child (Ooo child)
Things are gonna get real
I can tell you no lie
People ain't gon' be real
Do your best and get by
Get by, get by like

Ooo child
Life is gonna get real
I can tell you no lie
People don't know the deal
Be the best and get right like

Ooo child (Ooo child)
Things are gonna get real
I can tell you no lie
People ain't gon' be real
Do your best and get by
Get by, get by like

Ooo child
Life is gonna get real
I can tell you no lie
People don't know the deal
Be the best and get right like

They wanna talk on generational curse
I told them fuck my generation, there's a pun in those words
And I was born to be a gangsta with a Glock in my purse
And sh-sh-shoot it for the Book like there's a gun in my verse
I didn't do it for the Gram, my grammy started it first
And she ain't teach her children nothing but the bagging of work
And Auntie druggy in the living room she stashing the work
And Uncle Butchie on a bender he shot half of the work
I'm popping wheelies on the block
They selling crack on the curb
And ain't nobody try to keep us from this life since our birth
I guess it's drugs and hustle
Jail and cops and die and get murked
I'm moving silently and trying to live this life in reverse

Ooo child (Ooo child)
Things are gonna get real
I can tell you no lie
People ain't gon' be real
Do your best and get by
Get by, get by like

Ooo child
Life is gonna get real
I can tell you no lie
People don't know the deal
Be the best and get right like

Ooo child (Ooo child)
Things are gonna get real
I can tell you no lie
People ain't gon' be real
Do your best and get by
Get by, get by like

Ooo child
Life is gonna get real
I can tell you no lie
People don't know the deal
Be the best and get right like
