Birds & tHe Beez

[Verse 1: ScHoolboy Q]

Straight to the block, to the hood, to a spot

Cocaine to a rock, deuce deuce in a sock

Every dollar closer to a drop

Every drop is closer to a cop

Every cop is closer to a cell

Hit the cell, your ticket right to hell

No job, no bail

No fam, no meal

Institution another nigga, fail

Go from pussy to a prison tale

Fuck that, I quit while I'm ahead

Ship my music off like Amistad

Turn it up and hear the ghetto pledge

Live righteous, nigga, like my brother said

King Tut, Martin Luther

Malcolm X, but I'm the shoota'

Top ramen, knowledge for the noodle

Finally gettin' praised, yeah, kudos

Doin' bad, still love and need

Connect said it's somethin' up his sleeve

Said, I rather bust off them keys

Yeah, nigga, Birds And The Beez

Birds And The Beez

Birds And The Beez

[Verse 2: ScHoolboy Q]

Wanna do a song, but it's hard to carry on

And my daughter hungry, sittin' home

And my girl, she said she feelin' lone'

I can tell it's over in her tone

Only time I call is for a loan

She'd be stressin', so depressin'

Always worried every time a lil' nigga gone

Stay strong for the future, stick together, yeah, suture

Get a couple whips, yeah Kunta

Schoolboy, but gangsta was his tutors

Say the money be the root of evil

Look around and see what it do to people

Veins full of heroin usin' PCP inject the body with a needle

Lord help us, swear to God

Dope dealers, get a job

Keep it real, this shit ain't really cool

Bein' in a cell, you ain't alive

Niggas quick to show out over cheese

Love to help the devil do a deed

So I rather bust off them keys?

Yeah, nigga, Birds And The Beez

Birds And The Beez

Birds And The Beez

Birds And The Beez

[Chorus: ScHoolboy Q]

Tired of the same ol' shit

Niggas they fakin' it

Niggas out here livin' foul

Better yet they flagrant

Keep these niggas right up out the game

Get these niggas right up out my lane

I just wanna do this fuckin' music, boy and leave this dope alone and count my change

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]

Q, I wanna see you do your thang

Entertainment business livin' limelight

Hop on every track and move them trains

Show these motherfuckers that you been tight, then they ever been

It's evident that you intelligent, but you can't escape that life

And for you, my nigga, I would sacrifice myself to make it just to see you hold the mic

And hit the stage and rock the set

But it's hard to change when you from the set

Won't you think about it nigga, life or death

Life of a cracker, I’d like to hang you by the neck

Do you wanna see the boys in jet, or you wanna see them runway jets?

Fly to Singapore, one way that, tell the pilot we got stacks on deck

Swear to God, it's hard out here for a young black man to live

If you don't do it for yourself, then please do it for your kids

My nigga, won't you tell Michelle, I love your daughter?

Please don't let her grow up life without a father

Look at what you bought her, money couldn't buy

All she need is love, put that shit aside

At the same time, know they gotta eat

Know you got to hustle, make ends meet

Gotta make time, gotta get a grind, gotta push the line, HGC, no A/C

Got the block hot, you keep runnin', cops say "freeze"

Blue pill, red pill, choose now, Birds or the Beez

Birds or the Beez

Birds or the Beez

[Chorus: ScHoolboy Q]

Tired of the same ol' shit

Niggas they fakin' it

Niggas out here livin' foul

Better yet they flagrant

Keep these niggas right up out the game

Get these niggas right up out my lane

I just wanna do this fuckin' music, boy and leave this dope alone and count my change

[Outro: Schoolboy Q]

Count my change

Count my change
