[Verse 1]
Yo, as a kid, I was young, so I ain't understand
Daddy had a job, uncle only sold them grams
Mom cookin' in the kitchen tryna feed the fam
Stepdad always workin' tryna make a grand
Uncle always hustlin', hidin' from the cops
He used to have the newest Jordans matchin' with the socks
Grandma mad, yellin', "Boy, you need to stop"
Never listened, then he spent three years in the box
I don't think he used to know that he was my idol
I used to watch my grandmother pray with the Bible
Hopin' she ain't get a phone call at night
Lord knows that she needs a baby in her life
Sometimes she was emotionless
I used to pay attention, she ain't think I noticed it
She used to tell me, "Ki, don't be like your Uncle Chris"
As a kid, I was young, so I ain't understand
[Chorus]
Uh, 'cause my uncle did it
Eyes bloodshot from the weed he smoked
Fuck handouts, fuck Franklin County, he always seen that
Catch him ridin' 'round the city with the seat back
With the seat back, with the seat back
Catch him ridin' 'round the city with the seat back
With the seat back, with the seat back
Catch him ridin' 'round the city with the seat back
[Verse 2]
As a kid, I was flyer than a ceilin' fan
Uncle picked me up, put a hundred in my hand
Made it look easy, he ain't really give a damn
Always gave me money, made me feel like a better man
Smokin' Newports, hidin' weed inside of soda cans
Always been the villain, Superman he couldn't comprehend
Cops came to pick him up, handcuffs around his hands
Made me wanna grab the gun, jump out the car and blam
Ten fuckin' shots through the window
Drinkin' beer with his brother blowin' cig smoke
Go inside, roll a blunt up with kinfolk
Now he layin' on the couch with his head low
Some days he looked emotionless
Hittin' up the plug only for that potent shit
I don't think he ever noticed that I noticed it
As a kid, I was flyer than a ceilin' fan
[Chorus]
Uh, 'cause my uncle did it
Eyes bloodshot from the weed he smoked
Fuck handouts, fuck Franklin County, he always seen that
Catch him ridin' 'round the city with the seat back
With the seat back, with the seat back
Catch him ridin' 'round the city with the seat back
With the seat back, with the seat back
Catch him ridin' 'round the city with the seat back
[Bridge: James Fauntleroy]
Niggas die everyday don't know how to live, don't know how to make sense
25 to life today just got locked away, all that just to pay rent
Now they're all bound on the slave ship
And they left behind their patience
Thought that'd last them for a little
Pass it down for my kin, ohh
[Chorus]
Uh, 'cause my uncle did it
Eyes bloodshot from the weed he smoked
Fuck handouts, fuck Franklin County, he always seen that
Catch him ridin' 'round the city with the seat back
With the seat back, with the seat back
Catch him ridin' 'round the city with the seat back
With the seat back, with the seat back
Catch him ridin' 'round the city with the seat back (Back)
