TONY Lyrics

My nigga Tony out the slums of the streets

Heard the heat pop but never got caught up when all the beef dropped

Chains and a G-Shock, running shit in his Reeboks and knee socks

The slicked back perm that made the G's watch and keep watch

Tony came off the boat, hit like three docks

Before he hit New York, had a feeling he had a sweet spot

Thought he hit him the jackpot

Partment chillin' when his partner asked him move to Crack Rock

Wasn't gon' act until his pops reacted, nigga, that part

His pops said, if you go in time, nigga, get outta here

He stayed static, Tony ain't never been active

He seen too many in casket, Tony ain't fallin' for that shit

He makin' way too much happen, how can I make this shit up

Stuck to the whippin' and impala' shit just to make him a buck

That's when he found him a bottom bitch, that's gon' show him what's up

Had him a daughter who grew up smarter and off the charter

The realest, her alma mater, the feeling that calmed the water

How can you be from your father? No arguing when you around

Respect the half for you as farther

Ain't no respect without karma, ain't no regret without trauma

Ain't no more love without tension, these hoes just love the attention

They do not care about intention, she'll give him something to mention

When Tony split with her mama, she never asked him no questions about it

I doubt that he thought about how that child would feel about it

Thoughts clouded, no way around it

Surrounded by all the comments about how he ain't never grounded and shit

Shit sad, but I got tired of feelin' bad for the jhitt

Got him a bag and time passed and he came back to the crib

And had him a list, lawyered up on atticus shit

With radical shit, told them if he comin' back to the crib

It's not where they live, it's Jersey or it's Charlotte, nigga, they ain't say shit

Back up a bit, Tony had another kid, a son, no son of a uh (bitch)

He was a uh, extraordinary kid, but he was no one of one uh

The type of nigga to beat up his brothers and fuck all his bitches

Never admit it, every see you doin' wrong, he finna be snitchin

How you got love for that nigga?

Cause no matter what he did, you know he a Christian

How you got love for that nigga? Cause his brother later on would try to go with him

Two years after middle child, he came to birth, he reign supreme on the earth

They pain to see him at worst

If pain don't eat him up first, he practice a whole different verses

Let's go below the surface, Moved to Jersey, then it's Carolina for the work shit

Product emerging , part of the reason his mother was hurtin

She be too worried, her never gon' learn shit

He was just workin', she was at worship, fightin' off urges

Thought it was bout the time to pull the curtain

That was for certain, his dawgs was servin

And on top of that, can't judge a ball like the quarterback

Whatever he said, he ain't goin' back, but just know he could've said more than that

Really holding back, just wanna know where your morals at

Just wanna know how to hold a rack, but he really think about more than that

Big house, big fam, that shit don't get better

Tony a husband and father now, how he thinkin' it would get better

One time a mistake then, next time somethin' different now

He won't never get the picture now, thought he got it out his (system)

He would never seem to get it now, set him down, damn nigga let em down

Get around if you lost, get him found, how you grow up just to be a martyr

Ain't no no better, still aint like your father

And he down to get it, that's the thing about him

But his kids don't even wanna be around him, never even had to doubt it

Poor mama, she ain't know nada', she was only tryna hold common ground

With it left her as a lone rider, left her on the floor, on the ground

Never thought she would have her own rider, way before, way back

In her own life, she was with a boy whiter, spin back, made her whole wifey

Tony never knew, time passed, started losin' revenue

Ask a nigga how you switch up on your crew

Money changed, niggas, fuck a did to you

Never know where the hell he had to lose
