E-Dubble, Jhameel - Code Words lyrics

I saw my Work- I saw my shame
I saw what worked- I saw what paid
I took my L's- they took my name
I did my best to relieve my pain
So I woke the fuck up
Shut the stupid shit out
And starting talking in some code words
And I been on it for a minute
But I'm feeling like I'm living
And this time it's on my own terms

The city streets, you know them well
You've falling down, you've taken spills
You've gotten up, you've taken back
Done pretty well and you ain't
Need no makeup bag
So what's the deal, with all the noise
Who's really getting money who's
The real LeSean McCoy so run it back
You got some blockers and some options
If you see a different read than by
All means don't let me stop you
So that 808 pumpin', that 808 bumpin'
I'm sippin' something hard and it
Burns just like I wanted
Good crowd and the boppers keep stuntin'
And even though I'm broke I
Still keep it one hundred

I took my own words and
Made it into something
Some of them ain’t right so
The words start running
And I, I made mistakes
But the pain it causes nothing
Pain is just the fire for ambition
So all that’s stopping me is
(sigh) Shut the stupid shit
I don’t really need to
Hear mouths running spit
Code words set me free i just need to roar
Like a motherfucking beast

So we put the work in just
To get the work out and boppers work out if
They tryna drop trough
No joking, serious talk sorry for confessions
But them seven dollar beers were
Merely not enough concessions
I am Mister-Mister Brightside
Keep the hope alive
We can do whatever we want that’s do or die
Our time, our story, fixate
On whatever we can do to
Stop the motherfuckin' hate

I took my own words and
Made it into something
Some of them ain’t right so
The words start running
And I, I made mistakes
But the pain it causes nothing
Pain is just the fire for ambition
So all that’s stopping me is
(sigh) Shut the stupid shit
I don’t really need to
Hear mouths running spit
Code words set me free i just need to roar
Like a motherfucking beast

We trying to right the ship
I'mma write the soundtrack
Fixin' broken bobbleheads till they
Get the bounce back
No question, how we gonna get it
Cuz' the labor is intensive and
Baby we 'bout delivered
And the building's in the building
We tryna make a billion
Hug the world, fix the
Planet, learn a language, make some children
Make 'em smart, make 'em loving
And resilient
And if they got my genes then they prolly
Prolly brilliant
So we keep the wagons circled
The children on a curfew
I don't think so, let 'em breath
After nature we can nuture
My cup's tipped 'cuz the pain is universal
Waitin' on the doctor 'cuz the
Patience is a virtue

I took my own words and
Made it into something
Some of them ain’t right so
The words start running
And I, I made mistakes
But the pain it causes nothing
Pain is just the fire for ambition
So all that’s stopping me is
(sigh) Shut the stupid shit
I don’t really need to
Hear mouths running spit
Code words set me free i just need to roar
Like a motherfucking beast
