Grandma Told Me

My granny use to pray
That the Lord a up and find me
Cause it ain't no love

My partner used to tell me
These hoes was after my money
Cause it ain't no love

And my mama bless her soul
She tried to guide me
But it ain't no love

And now a nigga grown
I keep that bullshit from around me
Cause it ain't no love

Conversations through prayers
From granny's what kept me safe
She was planting the seeds
And I was walking by faith

She believe in the lord
I believe in my space
Done made it out situations
When killers been in my face

Was this the grace of God
Or having my enemies face a God
Kept it real and showed love
When them niggas had hate involved

I'm trying to score have Eric Bieniemy
Make the call
And you should chase the paper
Never drop paper to chase a broad

Wise words from a wise man
But niggas be tripping
Mama told that she hope I would listen
Never knowing I was paying attention

Now I'm known to up and play my position
Circle tight it ain't no enter or switching

Telling bro you got to
Stay on your mission
Ain't no future when you stuck reminiscing

At a point in life you either
Chasing dreams or you not
If success is what you make it
Put your team on the top

And I know my granny praying
That I'm keeping my spot
And I'm gone get it
Until I'm deep in the box

Yea

My granny use to pray
That the Lord a up and find me
Cause it ain't no love

My partner used to tell me
These hoes was after my money
Cause it ain't no love

And my mama bless her soul
She tried to guide me
But it ain't no love

And now a nigga grown
I keep that bullshit from around me
Cause it ain't no love

They say men lie women lie
But numbers come correct
They not living off loyalty or morals
Just disrespect

Children cuss in front they parents
And they find that shit amusing
People scared to whoop they children
Cause they say it's child abusing

Hold up let me take you back
To '91 or '92ish
When my granny whooped my ass
Just like the German did the Jewish

These little niggas out here foolish
Thinking life is like the movies
Until the doing 25
In a corrections institution

Wait a minute let me
Catch my breathe a second
Thinking bout the past
Shedding tears as I recollect

Always came up short
I had to deal with being second best
Kept my faith in God
And granny told me it was just a test

And I passed like I did
With all my school work
Always kept a plug
Cause Uncle D was giving dude work

Youngest on the block But niggas knew
That I could move work
Hard soft or smooth work
Mechanic make that tool work

My granny use to pray
That the Lord a up and find me
Cause it ain't no love

My partner used to tell me
These hoes was after my money
Cause it ain't no love

And my mama bless her soul
She tried to guide me
But it ain't no love

And now a nigga grown
I keep that bullshit from around me
Cause it ain't no love

Hop up out that groovy gator
Major flavor swisher vega
Smoking peace and balance
Joy and pain up in my chalice
Yea

Sinning for a blessing
Love and lessons what I see for me
Heavy stepping southern nigga
Henny in a cup for me

Need nobody to go for me
Steady winning we going for three
Took a cut to the gut for the vision
A soldier no folding the mission

Yea get it and gone
Told my mama I'm making it home
Automatic or semi the energy
Finicky if you been taking it wrong

Top down it's soul now
They hate the way I'm moving
Like a ghost now

Sit back and watch the act
They doing the most now
I know what I'm doing
I do it too humble to boast now

They won't trick me
It ain't no love
It's getting tricky
The more we go up

Simple and plain
Pain and pleasure through the rain
Stay groovy and bang
Soul gang

My granny use to pray
That the Lord a up and find me
Cause it ain't no love

My partner used to tell me
These hoes was after my money
Cause it ain't no love

And my mama bless her soul
She tried to guide me
But it ain't no love

And now a nigga grown
I keep that bullshit from around me
Cause it ain't no love
