War Baby

[Verse 1]

I'm from the bottom of the bottom, check your sources, baby

I'm a war baby, but I can't divorce the pavement

I'm a hood nigga that turned rich so I got Dior's latest

And you know I gotta stick to my roots, I still rock Jordans, baby (Yeah)

It was hell in the projects, I survived the storm

Got brothers in the sky, they die 'fore they born

I know the worst conditions make a champion

Look at my ice, froze like a mannequin

I'm underwater like I'm swimmin' and panickin'

Body bags zipped up like a laminate

The only solution for the opps is to stay inside

How your niggas say they rock, but they don't slide?

[Chorus]

'Cause we was hoppin' out in broad day

Serving fiends in the hallway (Yeah)

Promethazine 'til the mornin'

Hope I don't wake up tomorrow

We was the type of niggas that would rob the robbers

I'ma make the choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da (La-da, la-da)

The choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da

Survived in the trenches, I'm a war baby (Mhmm)

Had to slide on the sliders, that ain't normal, baby (Mhmm)

[Verse 2]

Like the mob ties in Houston, we got rag ties

I pray the Lord forgive me the day that I got baptized

'Cause I'ma clutch the sticky every time a car passin' by

I don't wanna be Ricky or another victim to homicide

'Cause I know the soul never dies

I make the chrome-chrome fly

Bitch, I'm a wave, Roll Tide

Bullets at your face, Botox

My persona done got her tongue-tied

I was taught that a legend never dies

When it's time, gotta let the lead fly

'Cause I'm a war-war-war baby

Post-traumatic stress, I know the war changed me

Had to bend back but they could never break me

Had to slide

[Chorus]

We was hoppin' out in broad day

Serving fiends in the hallway

Promethazine 'til the mornin'

Hope I don't wake up tomorrow

We was the type of niggas that would rob the robbers

I'ma make the choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da (La-da, la-da)

The choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da

Survived in the trenches, I'm a war baby

Had to slide on the sliders, that ain't normal, baby (Mhmm, yeah)
