Zachary Paradis - Desperados lyrics
[Intro: Mali Music] You know I'm a wanted man For reasons you won't understand Prices on my head, for like a hundred grand Cause I'm wanted dead or alive [Verse 1: Andy Mineo] (Bang, bang!) You woulda thought I was whippin' and pushin' and sellin' this dope (Bang, bang!) The way that they tell me to get out of town and then aim for the throat (Bang, bang!) They trying to ghost your boy, they pullin' the gun out the holster (Bang, bang!) But I'm doin' me, I'm doin' me like I'm 'posed to, yeah! You're smart Out here like the Wild Wild West Shawty right here with the wild, wild dress They tell you can be more if you show less, hol' up I been around the block a few times, I got a new mind, I'm lit Man, I was sleepin' on futons, bread small as croutons Now my business legit How many beats do I got to poop on to prove I'm not a fluke? I want true, a true sign a growth For you find ways to refind yourself You win when you lose, aye! Seem like every team them got a Judas But I don't care Give me a snake and I'll make a nice pair of boots, yeah I ain't tryna be liked, man, I'm tryna be a light, bang! I ain't tryna make a livin', man, I'm tryna make a life, bang! Ayo, that's way different Nowadays I pray different Used to ask for mo' blessings Now I thank Him for the ones He givin' [Hook: Mali Music] You know I'm a wanted man For reasons you won't understand Price is on my head, for like 100k Now they want me dead or alive Bang! They gunnin' for me now Bang! They got they weapons drawn Bang! They say get out of town Cause I'm wanted dead or alive [Verse 2: Andy Mineo] How do you terrify a man that ain't scared to die? So while I got a mic, I'ma air the lies that paralyze my people I live by the fear of God (uh) I'm sick and tired of songs that don't dignify a lady But, baby we givin' them power The moment you go out and buy it and give 'em yo' dollars Why they try to define us by how many commas we got? They don't know what's inside us But let me be honest, there's somethin' beyond us Yo, homie, preach! I gotta speak on my peace Man, I can't keep it a secret The only way that you get acceptance is when you know you don't need it, yeah Freedom is a mindset, and I ain't in my prime yet Miner League and one sixteen, yeah Them my folk I grind with I think about all that time spent way before success Get to see the kid shinin', that's the glimmer from the sweat Get up and go Homie, we live by the code We don't got minutes to blow Time is more precious than gold Sharp with the flow Mix it with lyrics that fix up your soul, oh I ain't tryna be liked, I'm tryna be a light, bang! I ain't tryna make a livin', man, I'm tryna make a life, bang! [Bridge] Alright, now we some desperados (we are) Livin' by the motto (you know) If I die tonight, man, I'm ready for tomorrow (you got) They say get out of town (hay) The truth won't let me lie though (what else) They gunnin' for me now (alright) They know the way I go (lets go) They want me dead or alive I'm wanted dead or alive I'm wanted dead or alive I'm wanted dead or alive I'm wanted dead or alive I'm wanted dead or alive I'm wanted [Hook: Mali Music] You know I'm a wanted man For reasons you won't understand Price is on my head, for like 100k Now they want me dead or alive Bang! They gunnin' for me now Bang! They got they weapons drawn Bang! They say, "Get out of town" Cause I'm wanted dead or alive Bang!
