Barber Talk

And we be on that barber talk
Uh
Yeah

14 years old when I got my first taper
Bout the same age that I started chasing paper
Walked up in the barber shop and he's like "que pasa?"
This was before I ever started spittin' lava
Geeky lil boy, yeah, the barber didn't know me
Hair combed over, cut short, nobody told me
That I was kinda ugly but, shit, they didn't have to show me
Think it's good cause them girls at school had me folding
If any bitch done liked me at 14, I'd get attached
Turn into a simp and I am way too young for that
Probably would've found a girl that's fine just from the back
Give another reason for them all to clown my ass
Talked about the drama and the beef up in my section
We ain't that close but the barber stay connected
He could probably tell that I was very well rejected
He could probably tell that I was not very respected

But with time that's what happens
(He could probably tell)
And we be on that barber talk
Yeah

Couple years later, yeah I let my hair grow
It curls when it's long and I didn't even know
Curls get the girls, yeah I curl like a pro
Buffed up my chest and my face starts to glow
Told my barber friend about this chick that I like
I didn't really know her, I just know that she right
He's like "damn homie, didn't know that that's your type
I hear that bitch has been ran through with the pipe"
Damn that's crazy cuz I didn't even have a clue
Cuz last year she seemed so innocent and cool
He said "been known, homie, it ain't nothing new
But that's just what I heard, shit who knows it's true"

But with time that's what happen
And we be on that barber talk
Yeah

18 years old when I got my burst fade
Kinda like that mohawk that I had in first grade
Makes me think about all the homies who betrayed me
Years of me saving them but they wouldn't save me
Barber's like "aye bro, I got some clients that be talking"
They don't like your face or the way that you be walking
I'll cut you anytime but shit like what you gotta say?"
"Man just tell them pussy boys that I don't like to play"
Barber also told me how some jocks got exposed
DUIs and minors and their stories finally told
Crazy cuz they always thought that they were so entitled
Karma is a bitch and shit, I'm glad I read the bible

But with time that's what happens
And we be on that barber talk
Yeah

About a year later, highlights up in my hair
They told me not to do it but I really didn't care
I looked so white but I still was pulling dimes
And they was all latinas so you know that they was fine
Barber said "what up homie you was looking lit
Saw you at the party by the way was that your crib?"
I'm like "nah bro my homies parents out of town
I brought all the booze and all the hoes was getting down"
He said "nah homie, shit was crazy no lie
But I heard they tried to drop you and they brought like nine guys"
I'm like "yeah bro, but you know we fucking chilling
I actually just called him up just to see how he was feeling"
"Big misunderstanding over just some fucking chicks
They always bring the drama just to get some fucking dick
I'm not scared to get into a fight over some girls
But someone has to be the bigger man up in this world"
Someone told me that it's sick but I don't deserve my last name
Even though he was playing, man I don't joke about that thing
I still think is crazy the amount a man can change
In just some little time, man I'll never be the same uh

But with time that's what happens
I'll never be that 14 year old boy again
And we be on that barber talk
Yeah I'll never be the same homie

Aye tell Albert to hit me up again man fuck
Shit
