UPTOWN 808's Lyrics

Lookin' in my mother's eyes, I can see a hundred thousand tears she cry

We just tryna stay alive

Cold world, yeah it's hard times

It ain't fair, ain't fair, ain't fair

But I ain't scared, ain't scared, ain't scared

I'ma do this one for you

I knew a nigga home alone up in the trap

A couple thousand that he stacked

Keep it in the bubble wrap

Started moving different, cool

But way too smooth without his gat

Boy, I watched them eye G

Took his heart with double taps

Them niggas took him off the map

Them niggas smoking on his pack

Left his son without his pop

Baby mom pick up where he lack

He was so deep up in this shit

She thought his burner was his jack

He said he'd die in the streets

And now he's living out his raps

But they still can't see the trap

Every block they double back

Niggas had to take his cap so other niggas wouldn't say he capped

Just imagine that

Surviving just to get to where we at

Niggas follow you for real

They advising you to kill

Mama found you on the news

They don't send it from no app

They serving white just to black

Running plays up out the Acc

It's foul play up in them trenches

Exing O's was ticky tack

Wasn't no coach Taylor in the field

If you ain't wiggin' they pushing back

But it's essential, I told em

I'ma make it off my pencil

And diss a peer up in a ghost

It's almost like I never met you

Get my momma out

I'm sorry for the times I couldn't help you

Lost two kids along the way

These demons weighing on my mental

But I'm still in rooms I thought I'd never see

I stayed down for so long that I made it hard to leave

Lot of time I had to wait

Even my daddy moved some weight

Boy I got so many styles that I ain't have to push the P

But instead I'm pushing me

They pushing pills for proper placement

Ain't no B and E's, that house you broke into

That shit was vacant

Niggas fake thugs, it's like they do this shit for entertainment

See what they met us in

My first 2 years at Pinnacle I learned patience

Hey Babe, I was just wondering why every time I call your phone

The first time it go to voicemail and then I call it back and then it rings

But um, call me back, I got a question
