Meek Mill - Left Hollywood lyrics

(Intro) I had to get out hollywood Get back to the trenches, they said they need me Little fish (Verse 1) I used to cop my little reggie tryna feed myself My cousin had that work but I didn’t need no help Man I was so f**ked up I couldn’t believe myself That’s why I be at the j**eler tryna freeze myself Cause my heart so cold, we ain’t got no goals All these young ni**as k**ing like they ain’t got no souls Talking grandma’s keys, before I cop my rolls It was all so sweet until…told Really hurt my heart, ripped my feelings apart Out in Philly it’s dark, we was really so scarred But acting silly so hard but we just wanted some love Mama working, daddy dead I just wanted a hug Why you think we spilling spade when we go to the club All my homies think I smoke, we just rolling it up I’m stressed out, ni**as got…feel left out So I went to chasing them pennies I went soft, f**k (Chorus) I went from going to school, to towing them tools and making a move Said I would win, they said I would lose s**t We’re so confused, hope I don’t make the news, oh lord We was breaking the rules, trapping to get some food Risking freedom for shoes Knowing that I don’t need em, Im spending money on j**els Jeweler like getting food, they told us that this was cool (Verse 2) Caught my first case, it was me vs the state I just wanted some steak and some food on my plate Came up from sh** I’m like how can you hate I’m just tryna be great, I survived with the snakes Look what they did to Lil Kodak and Gates I can’t lose faith, I just want shine like the stars and my wraith We go to war in fatigues like it’s bape I don’t feel safe, can’t sleep without it Master with them P’s yeah boy I’m bout it bout it Brought me to my knees back when everybody doubted Can’t let my youngins see me fold, I’m too solid If I stand on it, I’ma stand on it Put some bags on the scale, put some grams on it This the only s**t I knew I seen my man done it Tryna be like ni**as who were never there for us We ain’t have no guidance (Chorus) I went from going to school, to towing them tools and making a move Said I would win, the said I would lose s**t We’re so confused, hope I don’t make the news, oh lord We was breaking the rules, trapping to get some food Risking freedom for j**els Knowing that I don’t need em Im be spending money on j**els Jeweler like getting food, they told us that this was cool (Verse 3) Copping scooby ni**as out the radar Ni**as putting ni**as in the graveyard Jobs told us beat it like an A&R So we play with heart, f**k it we gon play it raw Cut the lights, told my momma they ain’t staying on They k**ed my daddy and it turned me to a man, dog We play with rugers, play with Glocks, we ain’t playin ball S**t we tryna stay alive it’s a standoff My life for your life Go to war like we got like four lives Talking before like, all this lil rap sh** Where I’m from if when you turn eighteen then that’s more life For real ni**a (Interlude) When you have no voice Ain’t nobody hear us, so we ain’t have no choice (Chorus) I went from going to school, to towing them tools and making a move Said I would win, said I would lose s**t We’re so confused, hope I don’t make the news, oh lord We was breaking the rules, trapping to get some food Risking freedom for j**els Knowing that all Ima be spending money on j**els Jeweler like getting food, they told us that this was cool
