Grass Stains
May God bless the dead
Hold your head if you locked up
See growing up here would suck for some
But not us
We was raised rough, I think it made us tough
Though we never had much, we always had enough
They turned the water off, how we bathing now
Ran that green water hose from the neighbor's house
Clowned for my hand-me-downs
I ain't understand
I was happy I was tall enough to fit my brothers pants
They was new to me, with grass stain and all
I'm like naw they unreleased, you never seen these
But let a hater hate, cus mama always made a way
Plus she got me that Starter Jacket, off of layaway
Yeah we struggled the same, but we hustle different
You scared to leave the City Limit, that's the fucking difference
As I'm reminiscing
Get to missing all my childhood niggas
Like CJ & Corey Rorie
Life is hard ain't it
You got scars ain't it
You from Uptown
South Blvd ain't it
All they say is play your cards ain't it
Grandma Etta passed away, but you keep her in your heart ain't it
Starting to feel like you want to give up
Got that feeling like you all out of hope
Just remember you done been here before
The strongest person I know
All it take is a little faith
To wash away them Grass Stains
My nigga you ain't never sat in jail
We all knew you'd be a snitch
Yo mama whipped you with a switch
Cus you would tattletale
Panda was a skateboarder
I robbed the ice cream truck
With a cap gun and only took the grape soda
My mama beat me to death
And told me
Cut that crying out, before I really give you something to cry about
Sent me to my auntie's house
With Portia nem
And that was lesson learned, I never stole again
I remember clothing closet
And reduced lunch
I remember moving with Grandma for a few months
I remember cop raids
I remember my best friend was Eric forte
Remember missing court dates
I remember kick the door in, beat up your boyfriend
Now I remember coping all the shit I couldn't afford then
I remember all this shit, wishing it would end
Somehow I still sit and wish I was a kid again
Life is hard ain't it
You got scars ain't it
You from Uptown
South Blvd ain't it
All they say is play your cards ain't it
Grandma Etta passed away, but you keep her in your heart ain't it
Starting to feel like you want to give up
Got that feeling like you all out of hope
Just remember you done been here before
The strongest person I know
All it take is a little faith
To wash away them Grass Stains
Hold your head if you locked up
See growing up here would suck for some
