Left Hollywood

Em
I had to get out of Hollywood
Em
Get back to the trenches, they said 
they need me
Em
Little fish

[Verse 1]
Em
I used to cop my little reggie tryna
 feed myself
Em
My cousin had that work but I didn't
 need no help
Em
Man I was so fucked up I couldn't 
believe myself
Em
That's why I be at the jeweler tryna
 freeze myself
Em
'Cause my heart so cold, we ain't 
got no goals
Em
All these young niggas killin' like 
they ain't got no souls
Em
Talkin' Grand Marquis, before I cop 
my Rolls
Em
It was all so sweet until Dashawn 
told
Em
Really hurt my heart, ripped my 
feelings apart
Em
Out in Philly it's dark, we was 
really so scarred
Em
But actin' silly so hard but we just
 wanted some love
Em
Mama workin', daddy dead, I just 
wanted a hug
Em
Why you think we spillin' spade when
 we go to the club
Em
All my homies think I smoke, we just
 rollin' it up
Em
I'm stressed out, niggas got 
Jordans, feel left out
Em
So I went to chasin' them birdies, I
 went south, fuck it

[Chorus]
Em
I went from goin' to school, to 
totin' them tools and makin' a move
Em
Said I would win, they said I would 
lose, shit
Em
We're so confused, hope I don't make
 the news, oh Lord
Em
We was breakin' the rules, trappin' 
to get some food
Em
Risking freedom for shoes
Em
Knowin' that I don't need em, I'm 
spending money on jewels

Em
Jeweler like, "He's a fool"
Em
They told us that this was cool

[Verse 2]
Em
Caught my first case, it was me 
versus the state
Em
I just wanted some steak and some 
food on my plate
Em
Came up from shit I'm like "how can 
you hate"
Em
I'm just tryna be great, I survived 
with the snakes
Em
Look what they did to Lil Kodak and 
Gates'
Em
I can't lose faith, I just want 
shine like the stars in my wraith
Em
We go to war in fatigues like it's 
bape
Em
I don't feel safe, can't sleep 
without it
Em
Master with them P's yeah boy I'm 
bout it bout it
Em
Brought me to my knees back when 
everybody doubted
Em
Can't let my youngins see me fold, 
I'm too solid
Em
If I stand on it, I'ma stand on it
Em
Put some bags on the scale, put some
 grams on it
Em
This the only shit I knew I seen my 
man done it
Em
Tryna be like niggas who were never 
there for us
Em
We ain't have no guidance

[Chorus]
Em
I went from goin' to school, to 
totin' them tools, and makin' a move
Em
Said I would win, they said I would 
lose, shit
Em
We're so confused, hope I don't make
 the news, oh Lord
Em
We was breakin' the rules, trappin' 
to get some food
Em
Risking freedom for shoes
Em
Knowin' that I don't need em I'm be 
spending money on jewels
Em
Jeweler like, "He a fool"

[Verse 3]
Em
Coppers scoopin' niggas out their 
radar.
Em
Niggas puttin' niggas in the 
graveyard
Em
Jobs told us beat it like an A&R
Em
So we play with heart, fuck it we 
gon' play it raw
Em
Cut the lights, told my momma they 
ain't stayin' off
Em
They killed my daddy and it turned 
me to a man, dog
Em
We play with rugers, play with 
Glocks, we ain't playin ball
Em
Shit we tryna stay alive it's a 
standoff
Em
My life for your life
Em
Go to war like we got like four 
lives
Em
Talkin' before like, all this lil' 
rap shit
Em
Where I'm from if you turn eighteen,
 then that's More Life
Em
For real nigga

[Interlude]
Em
When you have no voice
Em
Ain't nobody hear us, so we ain't 
have no choice

[Chorus].
Em
I went from goin' to school, to 
totin' them tools, and makin' a move
Em
Said I would win, said I would lose,
 shit
