Yard2Yard

(Hal made it special)

Look, I never had no role models, I was loading gold hollows

In that nine with the handle taped, like, "What's the plan today?"

You can't pick your cards but you can pick the hand you play

And where I'm from, just know it ain't no dishes when they hand you plates

A lifer told me 'bout his dreams on the yard today

He said, "A penthouse or prison, where'd you rather stay?"

Said, "This was chosen for me and this is my part to play"

You can go from champagne showers to getting PAVA sprayed

I just spoke to Gus, he said I'm in the charts today

But I'm on basic so I really can't be arsed today

What's with the questions, blud, you're moving like a narc today

He said he's not a narc and that's exactly what a narc would say

He turned into Rastamouse so we revoked his membership

I gave him the fryer to come barbecue them tender ribs

Colin told me, "Focus on the hits", so that's what I did

That same night, I made a phone call like I got ten for sticks

Death isn't the opposite of life, it's a part of it

And you don't always finish who you started with

Yeah, he's alive but he's dead to me, he done some shit that I can't forgive

I'll clear this room with one noise and that's my only party trick

Shit, I love my life and I ain't tryna part with it

My old celly was a bank robber like the Clarks I'm in

And you ain't gotta look up in the sky to know that stars exist

'Cause bro's a Gemini but use the Taurus when he clart his wig

Shit, we make it look nice but ain't nothing nice

I seen a killer puffing spice 'cause he stuck inside

I just whisper in her ear, give her a rush inside

I told her "Bend over, doggy", she gave me puppy eyes

Stinger died, got knocked off his bike and it was unexpected

And I'd be lying if I said that I was unaffected

It's so mad to think I fed him, now he's on some fed ting

Used to be my bredrin, but where I'm from, that's unaccepted

You think Houston's got a problem, come to where I'm from

He violated, I was on that pussy like a pair of thongs

We smoked your pardy, I guess making diss songs was their response

And let them older niggas know they never ever scared me once

I swear to God, I'll pop out like when Sideshow tried to murder Bart

Risk it all like I ain't on my second strike, burner charge

I turned a star, got 'em all mad-mad

Would tell you what I bought her but still can't pronounce her handbag

It's mad that once upon a time, everything I had was stolen

I known him since he was a baba, he turned Babylonian

On the run, stay with Jerry, it weren't cans full of petroleum

In the trenches, reporting live from all the pandemonium

My life's like a movie, now showing at the Odeon

When we was getting medals, you weren't up there on that podium

He got a buzz from the white girl, Amanda Holden

After all these years, still richer than all of man's opponents

I got links like your deodorant, I can call myself a boss

He got corned outside the shops, foenem blew him out his socks

"What you doing on my block?", That's a sentence I've never heard

Beef me and live where, must be in the Metaverse

I'll get you first, before I let you get me, and that's on my pops

It's mad, he was a rock star, now I see him on the rocks

Akhi, when you going mosque, do you not fear Allah?

I sat in the passenger and made the streets steer my heart

I stood on that corner, I was first out and last in

'Cause I was taught, you're only as good as your last win

What he say fuck me for, nigga, ask him

I think he knows I'm the reason why they slapped him
