Okay, 2 A.M., I'm posted (I'm

D#
Dope all in my Jansport
G#m
Movin', the youth I run with
G#m
Might treat your block like a dance 
floor
        E
Finesse the rent out the landlord

Mama said "Pull your pants up"
G#m
Bendin' corners and scraper, I'm 
loyal to 'til my bands up
E
I'm pushin', movin' work, improvin'
D#
There's commas on the way
         G#m
Put the pussy on pedestal

Blow the medical to the face
     E
It's evident on my face
            D#
Rollin' heaven in my new Wraith
G#m
Declinin' the call from labels
                                  B
Still grubbin' on struggle plates
      E                        
They all wanna know whats next, 
       D#

     G#m
Nah, I don't wanna hear your best 
shit, I don't really need your help
     E                             
I'm posted and smokin' just like my
 D#
 uncles before me
  G#m                              
I politic with the stagnant, forget

I grew up on Old English, that's 
       D#
that malt liquor (Aha)
               G#m
Never smoked a Backwood, it was all 
Swishers (Uh-uh)
         E                         
Before I pulled a fake ID out on a 
D#
bartender
          G#m                      
I was on a bag of cubensis, walkin'

E
We ain't have no common sense
          D#
Do that dirt and hop that fence
          G#m                      
Roastin', talkin' shit, we mobbin',

           D#
 with your tape up, it's garbage
          G#m                    
I used to roll up a spliff, and I 
mixed the weed with the Parliament, 
           E

Couldn't tell you 'bout our future 
(Nah)
D#
We was on the corner, posted (Yeah)
G#m
Wasn't thinking 'bout tomorrow (Uh)
                           E
On the rooftop smokin' (Smokin')
                                 D#
Swisher guts in the Funyun bag (Yes)
                              G#m
I was just doing my thing (My thing)

Hit the hot food aisle (Uh-uh)
Got the gizzards instead of the 
           E
wings (Gizzards)
                          D#
But it's all love, run my route, 
play the course
      G#m                       
Sweatpants, shorts, wife beater, 
                     E

E
Takin' my time, workin' it out
             D#
Countin' the coin, breakin' my back
G#m
All in my loins, all on my nerves

Can't get a break, but that's my 
snack
        E
Call me Almond Joy, mama's boy
          D#
Can't afford none of what you order
          G#m
Shit, I'm hardly on, not quite broke

Off the wall, but on the border
        E
Pushin' pen to the paper for peso
             D#
They wanna Lego
          G#m
Close construction, no room for the 
huevos

You gotta love it

Talkin' 'bout we saved you a seat,
