Red Clay

[Intro]

Most of the time, uh

Outside, one time, for the Southside

Ayy, look

[Verse 1]

Can't get no job because you used to rob

But see, you only used to rob 'cause it wasn't no jobs hirin' you

Regard, lessons we learn from havin' less, you either eat or starve

Just try not to get caught or them crackers gon' send your ass to Mars

I wanted be an astronaut, well, shit, you got it, folk

Pardon the roast, but life's so fucked up that we gotta joke about it

Life without this lil' sense of humor be costin' me

So take this food for thought, just don't eat it, the fuckin' varsity

I oftеn be reminiscin', wishin' we was still thеm children

Drinkin' out the hose, we chillin', bikes out in the yard from stealin'

That's why I find some joy when Buckhead turned into Bankhead

'Cause seein' me in Lenox remind white folk that we ain't dead

Even though they tried to kill you and me

And push our whole family tree to Milledgeville, Georgia

The dirty still dirty, it's all politicians and lawyers

And FNs with the serial scratched, the Air Force 1s when you step in

[Chorus]

Clay, ayy

Ayy, that red clay, ayy

Out here in the A, Air Force 1s and red clay

'Til the wheels fall off, baby, we gon' roll

Just keep going, just keep going

[Verse 2]

Okay, rest in peace tees, ten pieces and peach teas

On Pete Street, ponderin', what this life tryna teach me?

That niggas who ballin' ain't throwin' alleys, just deep threes

And I'm tryin' to score, but keep hittin' rim like a deep sleep, wait (Wait)

Wake up, put on my Forces, can't crease these

Got in a fight on my walk to the store, tryna meet T, fuck

If 12 pull up, they'll lock us down before we bleed 'em

I done been in cuffs before, but now I'm shackled by this freedom

Dealin' with this uncertainty of wonderin' 'bout what's comin' next

But no sense of urgency

Just made my first project in the 'jects, so ain't no one heard of me yet

"But I'ma blow," that's what I tell folks, but I'm personally, stressed

Ayy, okay, fuck them ACTs, where the cash at?

Girls from my class act and pretend like they class acts

Thinkin' I'm Hulk green, but I know my partner done smashed that

She ain't that cute, but, shit, I wanna hit too 'cause her ass fat (Ass fat)

[Chorus]

It's just another day up in that, that red clay, ayy

Out here in the A, Air Force 1s and red clay

'Til the wheels fall off, baby, we gon' roll, that red clay

Just keep going, just keep going

[Verse 3]

Ayy, okay, facts is the rival of truth

Ain't accomplished shit, but my confidence higher than Snoop

So, why I'm at the table where these folks tryna sign the recruits?

Question if my destiny this or a tie and a suit?

Slack off at times, but I can't help but try in the booth

This shit make me feel close to God like Poseidon and Zeus

My girl on my head 'bout readin' the Bible, I'll find an excuse

I ain't Abraham, put that link in my bio to use
