Jerreau - Persevere lyrics
[Jerreau - Persevere lyrics]
Yeah i'm just happy to be back you know
I ain't been in this, in
This booth in a minute, you know
Niggas, niggas been going through
Shit and shit (haha)
But that's life though you know
You got to like persevere and whatnot
Ain't that what they tell you? (hah)
Word up yeah
What's up? Ugh
Look
Born and raised in Columbus
A product of the Southside
800 South Champion
That's where I learned not to die
Gun shots through the night
Ghetto birds in the sky
I walked to and from school
Black boys can't fly you can do anything
The greatest lie ever told
I told myself all the time
Sometimes you just got to lie
Because the system is broken
And the scales are tipped
And that city school to
Prison pipeline do exist
You miss what you don't shoot
I'm a hundred percent
It's real in the field
Don't come off that bench
How you raise your gun
Before you raise your fist?
But how you raise your fist
Before you raise your voice?
You ain't a man you a boy
Damn what you heard
Got to speak up, rest in peace
My niggas lost they voice
I've been trying to cut back
I got a drink in my hand
I've been trying to stack up
I need more paper damn
I've been trying to spend time
With my immediate fam
But that don't never pan out
Swear they don't know who I am
I was raised in the church
No I don't go no more
See I got to find God, for myself
You should know that's why I quit that job
I got to work for my own
I got to pull my own load
I got to build me a home
Motherfuck being broke
Damn this shit is depressing
And I just got word
My ex-girlfriend pregnant
And I feel indifferent
Not 'cause I'm jealous
You should know I feel indifferent
About a lot of shit
But when you chasing a dream
You miss out on some shit
It's like three or four girls I
Could have settled down with
But fuck it I'll be that
Nigga that you never forget
And you love it, I'm still that nigga
Don't you ever forget
I come through with the who want
It? Like anybody can get it
Like it's open to the public, like fuck it
It's Fly U! Three the hard way
Like a foul and a bucket
F U, if you don't love it
In my feelings like that
Sometimes it be like that
Allahu akbar, I'm just happy to be here
Sip this champagne
Then spit at your women friend
Leaving you smiling from ear to ear
I'm at your neck
I need more gold chains and better sex
It never happens how you plan it
What's next?
I'm in a Range with Ramos right now
Another hour driving LJ's ghost right now
The first time behind the wheel
Of a quarter mill i told myself
I need this feeling everyday by now
But right now, I ain't eating
And it's hunting season
I need three meals a day
I'm three M's away get my mom a new place
Give her moon she need space
It's never not okay
And it's slave for yourself until that day
What's up?
It's the Greater Than Club, what's up
Wassup?
It never happens how you plan it nigga
But get your money how you planned it nigga
Long as the ladies love a nigga
I'ma always be that nigga what's up?
I ain't been in this, in
This booth in a minute, you know
Niggas, niggas been going through
Shit and shit (haha)
But that's life though you know
You got to like persevere and whatnot
