CARPET FLOORS Lyrics

Jay Hit Em

My mama told me put them toys down and clean them dishes

Mop that floor Clorox that restroom wipe down the camole

Take that trash out cut that grass now

And clean my living room

I hated all that shit but I found peace cleaning my tennis shoes

Ooooohhhhhhh

I ain't have no chance to win but I told self I ain't finna lose

Ooohhhh

You can't even walk a half a mile in my tennis shoes

A young slave she wonder why I didn't behave

Changing diapers age of six it ain't a lot can relate

I ironed clothes on that carpet floor

Same place I put a pillow and a blanket made a bed on that carpet floor

I starved on that carpet floor

Many nights I felt like dying on that carpet floor

Lord know I said some prayers on that carpet floor

To one day turn this carpet into a marble floor

I prayed that fan on the floor turned to a fan on the ceiling

Prayed the money I stole turned to a quarter a milli

I Pray love that I'm missing it come back through my children

I prayed that washing them dishes turn me from rags to them riches

Summer time she yelling spring clean

Ooohhhh

I was tryna watch that spring bling

Prayed them beads on my neck

Rubber bands around my wrist one day turn into some bling bling

You had nine kids mama this shit can never clean

Yo second oldest and I wish it never was me

Cause I got blamed the most

And every time I spoke my mind you an yo husband

Telling folks that I got the devil in Me

Ohhhh

And we never cable

Watching bootlegs but you know you get what you paid for

Food was pretty good but wasn't no steaks up in my table

No hand outs wasn't nothing sweet but the maple

They say trouble don't last long

But my shit last long

I was tryna peace couldn't find none at home

Kept my lil bros straight I was like a backbone

Nigga gave up the tho stayed in attack mode

And I prayed that I lived out my dreams

Cause I couldn't take no more from that pain

Cause I been through so much I can't say

And it's to hard for me to explain

We use to cry in that rain

Cause that's the only time them tears blend we hiding that pain

Living in nothing but poverty and scandalous days

It's kind of natural for you to pick up them scandalous ways

And you don't know that feeling coming home

Mama ain't pay that bill take a guess if them lights really off or on

You don't know that feeling coming home

You don't know that feeling coming home

Go from teenage kid to grown as man in a second

From learning at school to bathing your kids a dressings em

From raising my hand and asking the teacher to speak

To whipping up meals for all the siblings can eat

It wasn't a no childhood and you ain't never see that

But I'm more grateful for them lessons cause I'll never be that

An my kids running barefoot on marble floors

I thank god they ain't never slept on carpet floors foreal

And I just pray they they live out they dreams

Yeah yeah yeah

And I just pray they they live out they dreams

And I just pray they they live out they dreams

Yeah yeah yeah

And I just pray they they live out they dreams

That's him right there
