Startercoat

Lyrics

Ryan Daniel Montgomery
 5'9"
 July 5, 1977
 Detroit, Michigan
 Porter, you a real nigga, man
 It all started with a Starter coat
 The starter pistol got us out the momma jokes
 The house party finally started, now it's time to go
 Get some pussy sponsored by the barber and a bar of soap
 I'm stealing cars with illogical
 But on the bright side, they taught us how to drive 'em doe
 We used to tilt them bitches with screw drivers
 So I'm kinda used to being at the bottom of your columns, ho
 But the Billboard list was kinda comical
 How the fuck was it designed and chronicled
 I can see it now for sho'
 Bunch of blasés from a buncha artists with a timeless flow
 Gettin' trampled over on a 20 year old blogger flow
 If 'Pac ain't on your list then you ain't fuckin' logical
 I'm talkin' other shit, not no fuckin' 504
 What you gon' tell me when I tell you 'Pac introduced me to the fuckin' UNLV Starter coat
 It all started with a Starter coat
 Wonderin' why Brenda threw that baby in the garbage fo'
 On my way to cop my navy blue Starter coat
 It all started with a Starter coat
 The starter pistol kept niggas out here from startin' smoke
 Without it I'd be dead or be an artichoke
 The 9 iron armor in the heart of gold
 Nobody witchu nigga that's the Art of War
 Do not forget you fuckin start it doe
 (Woah, what kinda coat is that?) Starter coat
 I grew up with three brothers
 As soon as I was born my lungs collapsed
 And I had to be hooked up to a ventilator
 Now a nigga shining doe
 Growing up a gave a lotta niggas shiners doe
 I gave a lot of people my respect
 Daddy taught me that one growing up
 He threw me through a shower door
 I used to wonder why my uncle looking startled fo'
 Crawlin' around all on the ground like his heart is broke
 I found out he got a crack problem and he thought he dropped a couple particles
 Well I'm a fucking alcoholic so
 Who am I to judge I'm just honorable
 I be temporarily in love when I'm inside a ho
 I'm a pure artist I don't need to see the charts to know the art is under our control
 Highs, lows, problems, pain, drama that's what's optimal
 I guess I'm just the best at thanking God and feeling awesome doe
 Cause I survived the era of the Starter coat
 It all started with the Starter coat
 I lost my virginity aboard the fucking Bible boat
 I ain't graduate on time
 I ain't go to college so
 A couple friends of mine did
 Other friends of mine dead
 I'm fuckin reminded
 Just because I made the most money
 That don't mean I went the farthest doe
 I hope my college friends reminded
 You got the keys that don't mean you the smartest doe
 Mo' money, mo' problems
 I lost plenty mo' marbles on my marble floor
 Then I left in my Starter coat
 What they taught us that was all a joke
 You may not got a lotta dollars at least you got a post
 I'm arguing with Satan screaming "I don't barter souls!"
 Please don't take my memories of me and my Starter coat
 What kind of coat is that? Starter coat
 What kind of coat is that? Starter coat
 What kind of coat is that? Starter coat
 What kind of coat is that? Starter coat
