Lyrics Mark Battles – Twenty Seventeen
Text:
Nah, she good
Just tell her, «don’t be doing all that talking and shit»
Shhh
«Too wavy for a lil boat», I think that’s what I heard them say
My niggas keep a lil uzi and aim it at your vertebrae
Walking in with twenty-one savages if you perpetrate
Really here for peace and love, so let them vibes circulate
Busy trying to earn respect, you busy trying to earn a break
Feel I ain’t seen nothing yet, that’s why we in here working late
Smooth with the flow, now these lesbo hoes is turning straight
Was told I’d be rewarded for patience, so I’ve learned to wait
But now it’s twenty-seventeen
Pray we on to better things
Witness sights we’ve never seen
What’s a queen without a king
Ha, a very strong woman
I was raised by a lady, and she told me keep on pushing
Stay working while they sleeping, don’t just do it when they looking
I always seemed to feel I could, even when I couldn’t
So book it, we on the next flight, I gotta see some shit
If I can’t enjoy my own pie, don’t want a piece of it
If you with’ it, I’m with’ it, don’t never need convince
See you can offer a mile, might only keep a inch
How could I be content, I used to sleep in tents
Opening act for Rocky Fresh it didn’t equal shit
So these niggas slept on me
Now it’s cars for everybody
Guess I got some blessed homies
They always kept it real like way before the deal
It ain’t never what you got, to me it’s how you feel
Walking in with twenty-one savages if you perpetrate
Really here for peace and love, so let them vibes circulate
Busy trying to earn respect, you busy trying to earn a break
Feel I ain’t seen nothing yet, that’s why we in here working late
Smooth with the flow, now these lesbo hoes is turning straight
Was told I’d be rewarded for patience, so I’ve learned to wait
But now it’s twenty-seventeen
Pray we on to better things
Witness sights we’ve never seen
What’s a queen without a king
Ha, a very strong woman
I was raised by a lady, and she told me keep on pushing
Stay working while they sleeping, don’t just do it when they looking
I always seemed to feel I could, even when I couldn’t
So book it, we on the next flight, I gotta see some shit
If I can’t enjoy my own pie, don’t want a piece of it
If you with’ it, I’m with’ it, don’t never need convince
See you can offer a mile, might only keep a inch
How could I be content, I used to sleep in tents
Opening act for Rocky Fresh it didn’t equal shit
So these niggas slept on me
Now it’s cars for everybody
Guess I got some blessed homies
They always kept it real like way before the deal
It ain’t never what you got, to me it’s how you feel
I ain’t in it for the thrill, see
We just tryna build, G
No fake stage name, so you can get the real me
Left the streets in my past, wanna take it there then feel free
No I.D. said I can be great, and I will be
We just tryna build, G
No fake stage name, so you can get the real me
Left the streets in my past, wanna take it there then feel free
No I.D. said I can be great, and I will be
I will be
