lyrics

I’ve been tryna’ find a way
To make it out, they make me stay
I kill my time with weed and Wray
But somthin’ changed when I met
(YOU)

I found freedom with the hipsters
Maggys switched to Caipirinhas
She pull me aside and whispers
Something and it sounds like
(OOOW)

She aint a bitch
That's my girl bro
I used to roll in steel caps
And now I’m wearing Shell Toes
Drip like 60s Melrose
Jorge Ben Jor from girls Bose
Picnic speaker
Nothing sweeter
Living far from hell yo

But god knows that his city
Is the hottest
We were moulded by this slum
And then hardened like a pot is
Me and little bro went hard in the paint
Just a few years
And we owned all the estate
The money came freely
But the freedom it was missing
Tried to ask bro if all
This cheddar is fulfilling
He just smiled, racked a rail up
And told me that were winning
But I can see the bars
On this life that I’m living
I had to open up the gates
Of self expression
Trading in my uniform changed
More then how I’m dressing
Then I met her and love
Showed the oppression
Of a life whose meaning
Is to gain without a question

I’ve been tryna’ find a way
To make it out, they make me stay
I kill my time with weed and Wray
But somthin’ changed when I met
(YOU)

I found freedom with the hipsters
Uptown threads and Caipirinhas
She pull me aside and whispers
Something and it sounds like
(OOOW)

Zé, you need to find a girl, bro
Some realness in your life
That will keep you out of jail. Yo
I know you won’t like this
But I gotta say despite. Its
Just she wants to move away
And really I ain't gonna say no

She wants the countr’ life
Out in the sticks
Just know it's all love
I appreciate you, Shit!
‘Coz everytime the bag
Was divisible by two
The block was a trap
That wasn’t visible to you
Please…

Nah, donny you’re a dickhead
I been doing rounds like cricket
Tryna make something for us
While you’re tryna get your dick wet
Flip it, round
See, how you feel
Riding on this scooter
Collecting bill payments
While I’m chilling with some puta
Loser
Snake
Talking ‘bout you’re gonna choose her
Bené don’t press me ‘coz
I will pull my shooter!

(Zé! Bro, calma. Come on
It’s not even that deep)

I’ve been tryna’ find a way
To make it out, they make me stay
I kill my time with weed and Wray
But somthin’ changed when I met
(YOU)

I found freedom with the hipsters
Uptown threads and Caipirinhas
She pull me aside and whispers
Something and it sounds like
(OOOW)

Yooo
Life is good!
Trust me, I’ve made a change
And I’m gonna turn it round
And my future is looking bright!

I didn't even know
I could feel like this
I’m not gonna lie
Bro. Ahh!
I’m on top of the world right now
Bro, things are looking up
Trust me
And look around
Everyone is here
Everyone is getting along
This is beautiful
I love this

Like
I can't even tell you…
