Cheat Codes Lyrics
[00:03.97] Uh-huh
[00:09.53] Two-fifteen
[00:16.40] Young gunners in beast mode, K-9 teeth show
[00:19.96] Cheat code playing with unlimited free throws
[00:22.97] Playin' that feet, move faster than a Capri stroll
[00:26.04] Where they run in the strip like the women in peep shows
[00:28.88] Pay the price, gamble with ya life like Pete Rose
[00:31.91] Bust a move, paper bubble like Veuve Clicquot's
[00:34.84] Who got the streets of Philly flooded like Puerto Rico's?
[00:37.66] You get McNabbed like Donovan, it's finitos
[00:40.75] Theologians point to the trap house that God is in
[00:43.60] Go on, take his name in vain, like a phlebotomist
[00:46.42] I'm the one that tell you what time it is
[00:48.85] Never been into selling you promises, it's hot as a pot of grits
[00:52.36] That's not a myth, Blackness is not a monolith
[00:55.20] A lotta niggas probably gotta see psychologists
[00:58.04] To understand why we wallowing where the bottom is
[01:01.03] And common sense isn't what they teaching in colleges
[01:03.82] Shit, it's real when you done lost your last feeling
[01:06.82] Jump, then bounce back off the glass ceiling
[01:09.79] Back to stealing, to Xanax and smack dealing
[01:12.74] That's appealing, go grab your kids and shield them
[01:16.67] Where hustling became an art, the mantra is manage not defanged
[01:20.00] Where shit ain't for the faint of heart
[01:21.82] The rated R, everybody wrists got razor marks
[01:24.55] In projects, township favelas and trailer parks
[01:27.43] The wave been a vibe
[01:28.82] Better head for the church, mosque, or synagogue
[01:31.19] Chase the Grim Reefer with Henn-ocide
[01:33.37] We need it like a hole in the head, thorn in his side
[01:36.21] It all take its toll in the end, strong niggas die
[01:38.94] Made figures who name bring became king
[01:41.74] Or became fathers and sons facing the same thing
[01:44.44] In the hood, mouth full of blood, tasting the same sting
[01:47.32] Playing a game, trying hard to hang by the same string
[01:50.45] You better get the cheat code or get RICO-ed, nigga
[01:54.58] Bad credit get your shit repoed, listen
[00:09.53] Two-fifteen
[00:16.40] Young gunners in beast mode, K-9 teeth show
[00:19.96] Cheat code playing with unlimited free throws
[00:22.97] Playin' that feet, move faster than a Capri stroll
