Dave East - Can't Make This Up lyrics
[Dave East - Can't Make This Up lyrics]
Started with a nickel bag of regular green
I'm tryna do some shit they never
Seen, they told us never dream, uh
Tried to kill our dream, never dream, uh
Told us never dream, uh, uh, uh
Started with a nickel bag of regular green
I'm tryna do some shit they never seen
They told us never dream
I woke up, everything was broke
Even family members
Got nominations I receive somethin'
Thе Grammys send us grams, we split 'em
Brеak 'em down and sell the whole thing
(Whole thing) it's hard to give advice to a
Youngin' just got a gold chain
He don't wanna hear that shit
He touchin' paper i told him where I'm at
It's quiet ain't gotta cuss my neighbors
I told him never trust a snake
And never love a hater
Nigga, we tryna be Kobe
Just not another Laker
We need property, like Rick Ross
Sittin' on a hundred acres
Them Swiss rolls for dinner used
To have my stomach achin' (Hm-m)
I told him, "Keep some lawyer money in case
A case come up" some niggas get to stealin'
Try to duck some lay it up
If they been down
Make sure they 'round to dap your paper up
If niggas ain't buyin' no plates
We just gon' eighth 'em up
School was never in my plans
I couldn't wait to cut
Watchin' niggas spend they last
While I was savin' up
I watched whole families get boxed
Like the Brady bunch
Spent so much time down
Can't wait to feel the day we up
Can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
(I can't) look, I can't make this up
I can't make this up (For real)
Nah, I can't make this up
I can't make this up (For real)
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
(Uh)
Really speak my life, when I get a beat
From Jones to Venice beach
Don't know who this feelin' reach
(Don't know) i feel complete
Remove the roof so I can feel the breeze
The hoodie is still Céline
This foreign a real machine
I'm eatin' lumpia
The chef in from the Philippines
Take his top off
Hard to intervene with a guillotine (Uh)
If he ain't touch a dub yet
His pickets is still a teen
It's Future, I never liked
You or Michael shit, that Billie Jean
(Uh) me and you cannot relate
We into different things (Different)
I move like this, you move like that, see
We got different skins (See)
These denim tears, no these is Levi's
These is different jeans
Some one at weed, someone at coke, shit
We had different fiends (Uh)
Pick a team and we can bet it
Niggas pay attention 'cause I said it
One life, I won't regret it (I won't)
I can't make this up, it ain't a fairytale
Ours bread was very stale
I know they feel my shit in every jail, uh
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
(I can't)
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
(My life) nah, I can't make this up
I can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
(Uh)
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
(Uh)
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
Can't make this up
I can't make this up, I can't make this up
Tood bad the niggas don't really know
Ain't around to tell 'em, niggas how it went
I can't make this up true story, reality
I can't make this up
I'm tryna do some shit they never
Seen, they told us never dream, uh
Tried to kill our dream, never dream, uh
Told us never dream, uh, uh, uh
Started with a nickel bag of regular green
I'm tryna do some shit they never seen
