Boldy James, The Alchemist - Giant Slide lyrics

One plant after another has abandoned Detroit
First time we ever made
A thousand dollars in one day
227, Blockworks
In other crimes or violence also
Detroit is among the statistics uh uh

Tapped in like a touchscreen
Black Benz but the guts green
Half brick of that Justine, all for crack
Still call it Fenkell Ave
Where them young niggas got
A couple hot jingles
In they pocket and they keep a mag
Street dreamin', need a Lamborghini
Used to dream of Jeannie, now I dream of cash
Name hold weight in the
Streets everywhere I'm at
I don't need a pass
700, that's a Yeezy Boost
350 stashed in Adidas bag


Had to find a whole 'nother route (yeah)
Mappin' out a whole 'nother town
Slappin' off a whole 'nother line
Trappin' out my whole mother house
See niggas out in public
They crew look like a boy band
I copped my first 300 grit's
From my lil' sister's boyfriend
Invested in myself
Them thousands just gon' bring me more bands
Back on my way to Syracuse to
Holler at the Orange Man (The juice)
'Cause in my line of work
Gotta know when to sever ties
He killed my older cousin Rick
So me and his beef never died
That steel drum on the SKatie
It hold a seven-five
Purp and Grady told me let it ride, but shit
I'd rather slide (yeah)

Cold game in these streets
Kept it by my side
Now I cross my T's and I dot my I's
Catch 'em from long range
Let that chopper ride
When them doors swing, that's a giant slide
Nigga reachin' for my chain
Must be tryna die
Now they snitchin' on James to the homicide
Let that pole bang
Wipe the tears from his mama eyes
And kill his whole gang, that's a giant slide
They traveled in packs
And they've hunted on the streets
Giant slide of Detroit from a very early age
Giant slide giant slide, uh

Pitchin' drums outside was my 9 to 5
AR wake a sleeping giant up and
Chop him down to size
Sweep your street then mop it up
Won't make it out alive
Big drum on my four-five
That's a giant slide
ConCreature, Boldy James, Yola Gang, Bonnie
Clyde wanted by the homicide
Only time my mama lied
When cops asked when she last saw me
Off of Outer Drive last night
Somebody said they caught me
Hoppin' out the ride
Slide down on a opp, pop his top
Drop his guys cut 'em up with that chainsaw
We did the Cha-Cha Slide
Same niggas chasin' clout who
Still think Pac alive (Haha)
Don't give no fuck about no thot
You are not the bride
Got straight drop, and that top, for the 95
Gettin' high while I ride down the I9-5
Now we out in Memphis, Tenn
Future looking bleak it took a week but when
They caught up with him, he got put to sleep

Cold game in these streets
Kept it by my side
Now I cross my T's and I dot my I's
Catch 'em from long range
Let that chopper ride
When them doors swing, that's a giant slide
Nigga reachin' for my chain
Must be tryna die
Now they snitchin' on James to the homicide
Let that pole bang
Wipe the tears from his mama eyes
And kill his whole gang, that's a giant slide
Giant slide giant slide
Giant slide

It ain't even that I really wanna, like
Get outta here
But it's just romantic, because
It's i don't know, i don't
Know how to put it in words, bro i've been so
Close to it forever, y'know?
It's like, "Hello darkness, my old friend"
(That's real) you know? It's like
It's my old friend - darkness
Is my old friend, so, yeah but like, that
Line, nigga "Under the pale moonlight
You niggas never
Danced with the devil" people don't do that
They don't dance with the devil they
Don't know nothing about that!
(State Troopers behind you while you
Slam on your pedal) yeah, nigga! Bro
That's the line that bothered me that
I was talking to you
About? That line bothered me for
Like two weeks i
Was bothered by that line for two weeks
Dawg! That shit bothered
Me, I was livin' with that
Shit in the shower, like
"What the fuck did he mean by that?" Damn
