Come Up Like Me

[Intro: Kokane] Ice Cube, Kokane Here to give you some game (I want to see you come up like me) Why don't you come up ’lil homies Yeah [Kokane] I'd rather give you some knowledge I'd rather give you some game Than rather give you a sack in your hands to sling cocaine Cause ain’t no love in these cold hearted streets A bunch of motherfuckers is tellin' Yeah, with a gang of jealousy Give a fuck what you tellin' me Cause I ain't buyin' it Little nigga, get it together Stop being so damn defiant Cause you can learn a lot, from a crash test dummy Now, fuck goin' to jail Go legit, and get the money The definition of insanity Is hangin' with the same broke niggas, expectin' a bigger salary Now free your mind, and your ass will follow He could’ve made it to the NBA, but got popped with a hollow All because he didn’t wanna listen Cement shoes, nice swimmin' with the fishes Vicious, the system only promised you a grave or prison But you can come up like me, if you stand on your business [Chorus: Kokane & Ice Cube] I want to see you come up like me Yeah, Waddup Cube [Verse 2: Ice Cube] You wanna come up like me? You outta your league Not so much weed Let’s think with some speed Crips do bleed, Pirus feel blue Don't kill the messenger for tellin' the truth We all gon' be in the same mortuary We all gettin’ buried in the same cemetery Will I be bangin' six feet under? Cause I got buried Where are my colors? Will God accept me? The Devil, he let me Kill my own kind Before they wet me Niggas caught me slippin' on that last day Blunt still burnin' in your ashtray Wasn't brought up that way Got caught up that way This fuckin' L.A., caught me a stray Remember the day, like it was yesterday I shoulda listened to the Lord when I heard him say (What?) [Chorus: Kokane] I want to see you come up like me [Verse 3: Kokane] Don't throw your life away for a couple of dollars It ain't worth it, cause they handin' out the football numbers Get a honest job, ain't nothin' wrong with that Cause we killin' each other, the government supply to scrap And this internet thuggin' is at an all-time high Confessin' to a murder on IG Live Look here little homie, only the strong survive But a blind man can never leave the blind [Chorus: Kokane] I want to see you come up like me
