Vince Staples - Shots lyrics

[Produced by No I.D.] [Verse 1] n***as die off of Poppy street Bet my mama vouch, they drive by We don't run inside, b**h, we shoot it out On my grind, Benz color of the crimes I've been committing I've been fighting all my life and I ain't stopping 'til it's finished Rapid fire power sound just like a helicopter engine Hell ain't threatening to n***as who ain't never had religion In this field you Phillis Wheatleys ain't gon' never catch me slippin' Serve that brick piece, now we sneaky, sell 'til the man come and get 'em [Hook] Yeah, my n***as built for war, my n***as built for war They sending threats, we sending shots They sending threats, we sending shots [Verse 2] f** the pigs alive and dead 'cuz they ain't never had my back See you black, 'fore you a man, and you a n***a 'fore you that And that you'll never understand if you done seen it second hand You ain't ready for that war then please don't step across them tracks Rent money low and pressure high, no sellin O's just selling dimes These California sunny skies done looked down on me all of my life Is you really bout' what you write? Know they waitin' on my demise And I been waiting too, my patience through, blue paisley noose in the sky [Hook] [Verse 3] Martin Luther had a dream, I thought Tookie dream was better Bunchy Carter had a plan, but they shot him 'fore he led us To that Ghetto Promise Land, it ain't no hope for the darker man Just the folks who you bump for the Arm & Hammer, the n***a prolly gone die when his mama had em' That fleecy mattress fit 3 or 4, taking sh** when we leave the store Ain't a shoulder to lean up on, chauffeur in the back, the police been called Same ol' gauge, same ol' trigger, same ol' cage, brand new n***a Front page when you k** em', mothaf**a pay attention [Hook]
