MIDDLE CHILD

Lyrics

You good, T-Minus?
 ♪
 Niggas been countin' me out
 I'm countin' my bullets, I'm loadin' my clips
 I'm writin' down names, I'm makin' a list
 I'm checkin' it twice and I'm gettin' 'em hit
 The real ones been dyin', the fake ones is lit
 The game is off balance, I'm back on my shit
 The Bentley is dirty, my sneakers is dirty
 But that's how I like it, you all on my dick
 I'm all in my bag, this hard as it get
 I do not snort powder, I might take a sip
 I might hit the blunt, but I'm liable to trip
 I ain't poppin' no pill, but you do as you wish
 I roll with some fiends, I love 'em to death
 I got a few mil' but not all of them rich
 What good is the bread if my niggas is broke?
 What good is first class if my niggas can't sit?
 That's my next mission, that's why I can't quit
 Just like LeBron, get my niggas more chips
 Just put the Rollie right back on my wrist
 This watch came from Drizzy, he gave me a gift
 Back when the rap game was prayin' I'd diss
 They act like two legends cannot coexist
 But I'd never beef with a nigga for nothin'
 If I smoke a rapper, it's gon' be legit
 It won't be for clout, it won't be for fame
 It won't be 'cause my shit ain't sellin' the same
 It won't be to sell you my latest lil' sneakers
 It won't be 'cause some nigga slid in my lane
 Everything grows, it's destined to change
 I love you lil' niggas, I'm glad that you came
 I hope that you scrape every dollar you can
 I hope you know money won't erase the pain
 To the OGs, I'm thankin' you now
 Was watchin' you when you was pavin' the ground
 I copied your cadence, I mirrored your style
 I studied the greats, I'm the greatest right now
 Fuck if you feel me, you ain't got a choice
 Now I ain't do no promo, still made all that noise
 This shit gon' be different, I set my intentions
 I promise to slap all that hate out your voice
 Niggas been countin' me out
 I'm countin' my bullets, I'm loadin' my clips
 I'm writin' down names, I'm makin' a list
 I'm checkin' it twice and I'm gettin' 'em hit
 The real ones been dyin', the fake ones is lit
 The game is off balance, I'm back on my shit
 The Bentley is dirty, my sneakers is dirty
 But that's how I like it, you all on my dick
 I just poured somethin' in my cup
 I've been wantin' somethin' I can feel
 Promise I am never lettin' up
 Money in your palm don't make you real
 Foot is on they neck, I got 'em stuck
 I'ma give 'em somethin' they can feel
 If it ain't 'bout the squad, don't give a fuck
 Pistol in your hand don't make you real
 I'm dead in the middle of two generations
 I'm little bro and big bro all at once
 Just left the lab with young 21 Savage
 I'm 'bout to go and meet Jigga for lunch
 Had a long talk with the young nigga Kodak
 Reminded me of young niggas from 'Ville
 Straight out the projects, no fakin', just honest
 I wish that he had more guidance, for real
 Too many niggas in cycle of jail
 Spending they birthdays inside of a cell
 We coming from a long bloodline of trauma
 We raised by our mamas, Lord we gotta heal
 We hurting our sisters, the babies as well
 We killing our brothers, they poisoned the well
 Distorted self image, we set up to fail
 I'ma make sure that the real gon' prevail, nigga
 I just poured somethin' in my cup
 I've been wantin' somethin' I can feel
 Promise I am never lettin' up
 Money in your palm don't make you real
 Foot is on they neck, I got 'em stuck
 I'ma give 'em somethin' they can feel
 If it ain't 'bout the squad, don't give a fuck
 Pistol in your hand don't make you real
 Money in your palm don't make you real
 Pistol in your hand don't make you real
