Right now
Hey
Hey, I'm just a nigga until I fill my pockets
And then I'm Mr. Nigga, they follow me while shopping (Uh-huh)
I feel like Mick and Richards, they feel like Muddy Waters (Uh-huh)
So tell me what's the difference, so tell me what's the difference
My momma was a Christian, Crip-walking on blue waters
Was fading up to Davis, then walking back to Palmer
A fro like Huey partner, Auntie Angie had them choppers (Uh-huh)
So tell me what's the difference, so tell me what's the difference (All right)
I feel like, "Fuck Versace", they raping nigga's pockets
And we don't get acknowledged, just thank me for the profit
A prophet just like Moses, if Moses look like Shaka
Zulu, my .44 loaded, I'm aiming at Nirvana (Nirvana)
My bitch look like Madonna ('Donna), they staring at katana
Waiter still ain't brought the chopsticks, should have brought the chopper
Uber driver in the cockpit look like Jeffrey Dahmer
But he looking at me crazy when we pull up to the projects
See, this weight is on my shoulders, pray Jehovah, lift me up
And my pain is never over, pills and potions, fix me up
I just want to live it up, can a motherfucker breathe
Life ain't always what it seems, so please (Hey)
Just lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
(Say, man)
We love our neighborhood, so all my brothers bang the hood
I never vote for presidents, the presidents that changed the hood
Is dead and green, was standing on this mezzanine in Paris, France
Finna spaz 'cause most my homies never finna get this chance
All these white folks chanting when I asked 'em, "Where my niggas at?"(Uh-huh)
Going crazy, got me going crazy, I can't get with that
Wonder if they know, I know they won't go where we kick it at
Ho, this shit ain't Gryffindor, we really killing, kicking doors (Hey)
Fight between my conscience, and the skin that's on my body
Man, I need to fight the power, but I need that new Ferrari
Man, I breathe and bleed this, Poppy Street
I shot them guns 'cause talk is cheap
Bow your head and pray, okay, now walk with me (You know it)
See, this weight is on my shoulders, pray Jehovah, lift me up
And my pain is never over, pills and potions, fix me up
I just want to live it up, can a motherfucker breathe (Can a motherfucker breathe)
Life ain't always what it seems, so please (Hey)
Just lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me, lift me up
Lift me, lift me up, lift me, lift me up
Lift me, lift me, lift me, lift me, lift me, lift me up
Lift me, lift me up, lift me, lift me up
