Bambu - For the Prey lyrics
[Bambu - For the Prey lyrics]
Been hoping couple dollars come my way
But the predator is sticking all
My homies in the cage it’s the prey
This for the prey we are the prey
I am the prey
Been hoping couple dollars come my way
But the predator is sticking all
My homies in the cage it’s the prey
This for the prey it is the prey
We are the prey
This is not the last breath of a martyr
This is puttin’ down the mic to
Get the real party started
See, the artist I’ve become was not a
Was not a talent I caught
I’d rather break into a house and
Have a limp when I walk
It’s like I knew I didn’t belong here
I joined a gang and lost my cousin
And my uncle in the same tear
I was a menace by the tenth grade
I ignored the teachers, dawg
I knew I wouldn’t graduate
Armed robbery was the final straw
Pulled out our house at 3am
Rockin’ my boxer drawers
They had a target on my
Momma when she immigrated
Soon as I was out I
Was training for initiation (Rraaa)
The theme has always been
The devil the proverbial
The evil is the men who wanna get you
Hoping dollars on the way
While Rocky hold me down
And my son don’t ask for money
He just want me around but, I’ve been
Hoping couple dollars come my way
I’ve been here since he beginning
Grew my roots in LA i am the Prey
I am the Prey i am the Prey
I am the Prey
I’m hoping couple dollars come my way
While the predator is pushing all
My homies in the grave i’m the Prey
You are the prey we are the prey
I am the Prey
Yo, Smoking on this tree from Petaluma
So much bud inside my lungs
I’m getting used to being full of bad smog
Good smoke, being higher than a satellite
Tapping on your phone and keep them
Drones above your dome tonight
My son sit on my shoulders at the rally
Tryna break down why Tamir Rice ain't
Gon’ never see his family
Tryna break it down to simple
Shit the children can get
But they ain’t stupid
They see daddy getting sweat in his grip
My baby momma stressing off the cash flow
Maybe I should get back to
The robberies and grabbing dough
Running out the window with the
Goal to feed the house
Cus a felon still a felon on
The day he get out
And a entry level job require college degrees
Well I am fucked all around I hold a GED
Destined for EBT, a bunch of overdraft fees
You get deported
Or incarcerated no in between we’ve been
Hoping couple dollars come my way
But the predator is sticking all
My homies in the grave it’s the prey
It’s the prey we are the prey
This is the prey
Hoping couple dollars come my way
But the predator is sticking all
My homies in the grave this the prey
This for the prey we are the prey
I am the prey
Oh yeah I
Listen back to all my work over the beats
All my songs in ’03 still work in 2016
I’m just a playback of playback I
Play back in the day
The Native Guns up on a roof in Echo Park in
LA
Me and Phatty on a plane a whole country away
Me and C In Manila tryna pick up some game
Me and Geo, Me and Npha as The Bar in A
In a van fallin’ asleep
Wake up in brand new state
Prey for the devil we’ve become
Our purpose in life so kill the predator
It's better than you rollin’ that dice
Gun controllin’
"what you holdin’? "Put your
Hands in the sky"
And what the kids need to survive
The devil labeled a crime
Ayy yo my son, my parter, my partnas
My momma my sisters, my comrades, my brother
My father
The homies, the workers, the gangstas
The killers
The gooks, the chinks, the beaners
The niggas
The faggots, the bitches, the targets
The victims the prey for the devil
The killer of the devil is
My son, my parter, my partnas my momma
My sisters, my comrades, my brother
My father
The homies, the workers, the gangstas
The killers
The gooks, the chinks, the beaners
The niggas
The faggots, the bitches, the targets
The victims they prey for the devil
The killer of the devil watch out
But the predator is sticking all
My homies in the cage it’s the prey
This for the prey we are the prey
I am the prey
Been hoping couple dollars come my way
But the predator is sticking all
My homies in the cage it’s the prey
This for the prey it is the prey
We are the prey
This is not the last breath of a martyr
This is puttin’ down the mic to
