Stoop Kid

[Intro]

It was crazy like, livin' on 10th because

Like when my grandma came from the Philippines

That was the first place she was at, and she never left

I'm just thinkin' about all the shit that had happened

When a nigga was like, on that porch

[Verse 1]

Walkin' from my uncle's real slow, I was fucked up off an edible

Playin' Tekken with the precious terrible

But I looked up and was like damn, there she go

I used to fuck yo' homie now I can't

You gave me that pussy from the gate

Thеy always say you shouldn't fuck on first dates

But I could hate you afterwards so why wait

I seen my first lovе on this porch

I seen the weapon draw blood from this porch

Hoes gave me money from a trick on this porch

Shooting dice, lost a brick on this porch, uh-oh

I was drawin' cartoons on this porch

Stealin' buckets but it zoom like a sport

I seen my mama go to jail from this porch

Sometimes the hood felt like hell on that porch, oh no

I seen niggas I grew up with on the pavement

I seen hoes I never fucked with yellin' save me

Bitches lyin' to my brothers 'bout some babies

I seen my brothers lie to me and they betrayed me

[Chorus]

Stoop kid won't leave this stoop

I couldn't believe it too

I just know that I could never see this through

In the outside, gotta go outside

[Verse 2]

I seen graffiti spray on this porch, .223's make him lay on this porch

My daddy asked if I was gay on this porch

'Cause I was fuckin' hoes when he had court

Then that nigga went to jail, he left the porch

Sendin' me drawin's from the cell to this porch

It seemed like he was nailed to the floor

I seen my auntie high as hell at the door

Asking for money, she was high she want some more

Her son is like my lil' brother, we not poor

So when Sonny come around he secure

I had my lil' brother back on this porch

Can't talk to chance, you ain't comin' through this door

Shoutout my titi's April dyin' and support

Shoutout fuckin' Jigga Juice, I love you more

R.I.P Greg, your porch was my porch

Pardon me amor, yeah, pardon me amor

[Chorus]

If stoop kid won't leave this stoop

I couldn't believe it too

I just know that I could never see this through

In the outside, gotta go outside

[Outro]

Ayy, first of all shout out to all the YB's

Like every single one, Darian, Skyler, Von, Otis, Juice, me, Tay

More importantly, uh, Jason, love you dawg, yeah

If we talkin' 'bout music

Me and my niggas was the first niggas in Oakland

We was the only group, after Go Dav that popped

We started throwin' parties, niggas thought we was rappin'

It was crazy 'cause nobody had more bitches than us

The only niggas that was competing us, was the otherside niggas

They would then grow up to be different things

And then one of them niggas was a star, so shoutout to ALLBLACK

I would then go to San Jose, and see my big cousin Kwame

And my brothers Christian and Cole

Puttin' it together the real way

'Cause if it's one thing me and them niggas gon' do

It's put it together for real

Shout out to niggas that came before me that put me on

Shout out Sue for bringin' me to the studio

Shout out Cool John for tellin' niggas that I was tight

And I had bitches, so they would let me in the studio, haha

Shout out, shout out Lani

I remember Lani was, nigga, crashin' on my couch

I remember I picked up her and this dude in Berkeley

She was like, "Let's go pick up my cousin"

And we we just talkin' in Berkeley

And her cousin, this nigga named Benji

End up livin' with me bein' my day to day

That's like eight years ago

That's what that's what the whole focus of this album was

Was eight years ago, uh, to not, I mean

At the recording of this, but whenever you hear this, whatever year you in

I just hope you feel the authenticity

'Cause this the first song that I really cried on

Since I recorded the outro to my last album Dior Deposit

But now we, we past Dior Deposits

Dior Deposits was about the work that a nigga put in

Like literally the deposits I made in the bank to afford Dior

We didn't have Dior, we done lost it, we done sold it

We done put it on Depop, !llmind mighta put it on eBay

You know what I'm sayin? We, we past that now it's about

It's about the maintenance, so I'm reflecting on

Before I had anything to maintain

Because, in the world where we got pandemics

And quarantines and niggas can't even go to role

Or make money how we used to

I needed to make this album for myself

So I could get past it, i was thinkin' about you know

My ex Asia, everything was a muse, for me, especially her

My baby Chi and my mama, you know what I'm sayin'?

Shout out Township's, shout out Sam Lancaster

That nigga changed my life, and it just so happen that he White

'Cause that nigga subscribed to mo' Black magazines than everything

Shout out James Delgado, you barely produced anything on here

But you main producer, and I got a lot of love for you

'Cause you finesse me

They can watch the interviews for that explanation

Shout out Paul Middleton, you right here next to me

We recording the video

More importantly, eleven seventy six

Is the address of the house I grew up in, in West Oakland

So shout out to West Oakland, shout out to my grandpa

Douglas, that's my, that's my ugly ass middle name

Akeem Ali Douglas Hayes

Shout out to Douglas for meeting my fine ass grandma

In the Philippines, in the middle of Subic Bay

'Cause he was in the Marines and, uh

He seen her and said, “Ayy baby, I need something, I need something in my pocket

Can you do that for me?” And you know what she said?

“Oo-oo,” hella Filipino, no English

And then he end up marrying her ass, and moved to California

They would have a baby, three babies

And the youngest of them three babies

End up making the Guapdad

So if you enjoyed this Guapdad album

That's the Guapdad backstory, peace out
