Tears For ODB Songtext / Lyric

(Verse)

Tears for ODB, drug induced poetry

What's the use? Strung out from that drug abuse

What was me?

80's baby so I know my pops was getting high

In the 90's me and mama barely getting by

2000's, I was concentrating more on getting fly

Getting bitches, getting rich to get the shit I couldn't buy

You know the story, you know my allegory

I was sent from heaven with a set of horns, they better warn yall

I'm here for more then just the kicks, some witty metaphors dawg

This more uh the type of shit you spit to set a war off

Cuz niggas be poor, get money, then still don't know

With the fuck they can't cop a house, the system meant to lock us out

But I'm knockin down the doors, strapped up with a 4-4

Robin Hood shit and yea I'm hood rich

That's good enough to stay in new kicks and a good whip

Get good hand from a good bitch

I give 2 shits, I'mma tell you straight up






(Hook)

Straight up

Straight up

Byany chance, I'mma take it

Rather die before I fake it

They say life is what you make it, bitch

But I'm just tryna make it straight up

Straight up

Straight up

By any chance, I'mma take it

Rather die before I fake it

They say life is what you make it, bitch



(Verse)

Lord have mercy on my soul, what I've done and what I've seen

My life has tumbled into that, which only you could intervene

I put my heart in senseless things – money, bitches and street shit

Fascinated by beef, sad to say I won't be shit

Grew up in this bitch without a pot to piss, no toilet

How ironic, I took a lot of shit

Like a bottom bitch or a model chick, high off coke

They locking sons up for less, I don't care how yall cope

But yet I still pedal this dope and these pills

I never known how sittin comfy on that Oprah seat feels

More than likely be on most wanted posters we steal

Holding on to old dreams of being Hova, be real

We the forgotten souls, bottom of the totem poles

Left for dead, some niggas fled, people say they sold they souls

I just think they found a better way

Lord knows I never prayed

But sometimes I be wishin I could levitate

I take this straight up



(Hook)

Straight up

Straight up

Byany chance, I'mma take it

Rather die before I fake it

They say life is what you make it, bitch

But I'm just tryna make it straight up

Straight up

Straight up

By any chance, I'mma take it

Rather die before I fake it

They say life is what you make it, bitch

But I'm just tryna make it straight up



(Outro)

Hey

Hey

Go away

2-6 faded out shit

For all my niggas still going through it

Yea

Straight up

My niggas gotta learn something

It's 2012 nigga

And we're still killing ourselves

You ought to know by now nigga

Now you gon never know

Yo
