Stripes

This for all my people grinding in the city
In the city
Working hard trying to make a dollar from a penny
Yeah!
They threw us lemons we made lemonade
Lemonade
All this juice real this isn't minute maid
This isn't minute maid
I'm that nigga putting arko on the map
On the map
Strong legs carry the whole arko with my back
Yeah!
But its ok i know the whole arko got my back
Ay yo i started this arko shit
In the mirror i see saw
See saw
Shorty moving up and down like a seesaw
The liquor got her spiked down like a beach ball
Beach ball
Sipping on that brown this isn't no peach paul
Ay ay ay
This the weekend i get it in
Yeah!
Hit her and her friend
Drop them off makes some calls
Then some new ones hopping in
Bye bye
Pulled up to the studio no pad or a pen
Oh
Five days later and I'm at it again
Oh oh oh
Pulled up to the club flex shitting on my ex
You want to be a boss you got to take the steps
Yeah!
You want that money got to hit the reps
Yeah!
You want them stripes you got to hit the ref

Grinded all week like a slave now its time to play
Now its time to play
When i didn't have shit i still made a way
I still made a way
People need to come together we too strayed away
Strayed away
Still stuck on the past need to change our ways
Need to change our ways
The g p s not working it's time to use our hearts
Its time to use our hearts
Been playing dumb too long it's time to use our smarts
Its time to use our smarts
First they want to dumb us down and then call us stupid
Man why they do that?
At first we had good gas now its embalming fluid
Man why they do that?
How you bump that mumble rap and try to slay my music?
Man how you do that?
Why you even got a strap you not going to use it?
You not busting shit
Shorty scared to let me fuck because she thinks I'm going to bruise it
But i know how to do it

Ay ay ay
This the weekend i get it in
Yeah!
Hit her and her friend
Drop them off makes some calls
Then some new ones hopping in
Bye bye
Pulled up to the studio no pad or a pen

There are way too many chiefs not enough indians
Way too many
I have way too much flow i must be an amphibian
way too much
I was raised in the streets i don't want to see them shits again
I was raised in the streets
And my heart was filled with hate i don't want to be like that again
No!
But I'm the first to admit my flaws
Submit my flaws
Improve upgrade and ditch my flaws
I ditched all that
When you swimming in my ocean
I'm the great white jaws
When its come to the money
I don't play nor pause
No
There's no one stopping us nobody hot as us
Still can't see us put down the binoculars
Off the head no stenographer
We don't need no stenographers
If she get on top I'm not stopping her
I'm not buying her shit but ill shop with her
I rap because i spit real shit not to get popular

This the weekend i get it in
Hit her and her friend
Drop them off makes some calls
Then some new ones hopping in
Pulled up to the studio no pad or a pen
Five days later and I'm at it again
Pulled up to the club flex shitting on my ex
