Poor Thang Lyrics
[00:02.03] So close
[00:03.30] Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom
[00:10.68] Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
[00:13.24] He wanted love, but he only made more pain
[00:15.00] Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
[00:18.51] He wanted love, but he only made more pain
[00:21.16] Picture my soul climbin' out of infinite holes
[00:23.80] Where niggas die over pride and live for the dough
[00:26.36] If I survive, then I strive to hit with the flow
[00:28.00] Hopin' these waves will pave, but the ripples is slow
[00:31.68] And I'm conflicted with no digits to show
[00:33.79] But fantasies of frivolous hoes grippin' this pole
[00:36.36] The temperaturе's low
[00:37.40] But you know that ain't stoppin' lil' nigga from slidin', like the tires on thе whip in the snow
[00:42.08] Vicious for sure, I'm tip-toein' around the abyss with sticks blowin'
[00:45.63] Piss poor with intentions to glimpse, the wrist glowin'
[00:48.19] Face, tits, for rent, owing
[00:49.79] Fist clenched when niggas diss, but since knowin'
[00:52.47] Lives expire when niggas pride gets higher
[00:54.88] Than the vocal range inside, but rise vocal chain, uh
[00:57.80] My road to fame is rife with spikes and broken lanes
[01:00.52] And tolls I can't afford, but I won't complain
[01:02.87] I know the more I gotta struggle is the more I gain
[01:05.47] Post-traumatic stress on an immature brain
[01:08.19] Leaves another corpse, young pup playin' war games
[01:10.75] Now he's handcuffed, old lady sayin', "Poor thing"
[01:13.35] Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
[01:15.87] He wanted love, but he only made more pain
[01:18.55] Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
[01:21.07] He wanted love, but he only made more pain
[01:23.71] You wanna talk shit? You wanna run your mouth?
[01:25.67] You want some gangsta's front yo motherfuckin' house?
[01:28.02] We'll set this bitch off, yeah, set this bitch off
[01:30.55] We'll set this bitch off, set this bitch off (Set)
[01:33.19] You wanna—
[01:33.90] Here go a song that gets this shit off of my sternum
[01:36.50] This nigga back home been talkin' slick, and I done heard him
[01:39.13] You get your name goin', niggas like that gon' throw they dirt on
[01:41.61] You make you some calls, niggas gon' act like you ain't earn 'em
[01:44.49] He talk like he live, but I remember him from high school
[01:47.18] Man, deep down inside, know he a bitch, I wanna hurt him
[01:49.45] I know that's my pride, I carry it just like a burden
[01:52.17] When egos is flarin', beware that's when they close the curtain (Put your hands up)
[01:55.39] It's when they close the curtain (Put your motherfu—)
[01:58.68] It's when they close the curtain (You pullin' out a gun, nigga? Yo, chill, chill, chill-chill-chill-chill)
[02:01.60] It's when they close the curtain (You pullin' out a gun, nigga? Yo, chill, chill, chill, chill)
[02:04.15] It's when they close the curtain (You gon' shoot me? No, no, no)
[02:04.94] Don't pull out no pistol, run me my fade
[02:07.98] Come get your issue, no one gets sprayed
[02:10.45] Win or you lose, live to fight another day
[02:13.10] And if I take an L, I won't feel no way
[02:15.81] Plenty nights a nigga didn't eat, punk bitch
[02:18.21] Rent owed, damn near was on the street, punk bitch
[02:20.89] Weren't no Western Unions, so you were not needed, punk bitch
[02:23.37] All of a sudden, I'm buzzin', oh, now it's beef, punk bitch
[02:26.01] Go 'en and pop off, get fucked 'bout your mystique, punk bitch
[02:28.66] I knew you way before you was actin' street, punk bitch
[02:31.21] Started rollin' with niggas that's packin' heat, punk bitch
[02:33.89] You more like me than them niggas, you still a geek, punk bitch
[02:36.41] You can't hide it with tattoos on your physique, punk bitch
[02:38.78] And that lingo you added, that how you speak, punk bitch?
[02:41.69] And you grew up with both your parents to teach, punk bitch
[02:44.29] So how the fuck all of a sudden you turnin' G, punk bitch?
[02:47.05] You a slave to the peer pressure, you're weak, punk bitch
[02:49.44] You ain't claimin' no real section, your street wasn't lit
[02:51.85] Man, your shit look like mine, with hella tree trunks, bitch
[02:54.53] Moved to Forest Hill Drive, and it was peace for a bit
[02:57.29] 'Til domestic turned violent, then a key just switched
[02:59.64] In the back of my mind, I gotta be somethin', bitch
[03:02.60] That's when I started rhymin' and makin' beats, son o' bitch
[03:05.21] Way before you was lyin' 'bout touchin' keys, son o' bitch
[03:07.76] Heard you say I ain't real, that's your belief, huh, bitch?
[03:10.36] Well, look, I'm back in the 'Ville, so we can see, punk bitch
[03:12.93] Gonna shoot me the fair one when we meet, punk bitch
[03:15.56] And don't be bringin' no hammers, nah, don't cheat, punk bitch
[03:18.21] Nah, don't cheat, punk bitch
[03:20.85] Tryna lean on that shit, nigga, I want my fuckin' head up ('Cause I've been through lots of things)
[03:25.12] Punk bitch (Real)
[03:27.97] Punk bitch, huh

[03:31.67] He wanted love, but he only made more pain
[03:34.19] Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
[03:36.75] He wanted love, but he only made more pain
[03:39.47] Don't pull out no pistol, run me my fade
[03:42.07] Come get your issue, no one gets sprayed
[03:44.59] Win or you lose, get to fight another day
[03:47.19] And if I take an L, I won't feel no way
[03:53.32] 'Cause I've been through lots of things
