Joyner Lucas - Broski lyrics

I'm hopin' I don't look down
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' on the solid ground
Fallin' on the solid ground
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' on the solid ground

Today, I had a conversation with
One of my bros my homie
He's been close to me since
We were six years old
He calls my mama, "Mom
" he seen all of my highs and lows
From school fights to sharin' clothes
From B ball to fuckin' hoes
He sat me down and let me know
Some things he never told me
Things he never got a chancе to
Say or even show me


Hе said, "I know I don't tell you often
Maybe not even at all
But, I'm so proud of you and your success
Broski
And I admire how you chase your dreams
That shit's courageous
Thank you for never switchin' up when
You got rich and famous
Thank you for never givin' up on me
Or havin' lesser love for me
Whenever we lose touch and
Be on different pages
I hope you know I'm here for you
The way you there for me it's crazy
You done more for me than all my family tree
And when I say I got your back
Just know I really squeeze
And make some niggas really bleed
That's really what I really mean
I'm proud of how much you matured and grew
But you still you
The world knows you for your talent
But I know the real you
And all your trauma's behind closed doors
You'll never heal through
And all the pain, you act
Like you don't feel, but you still do
I love the fact you keep your shit together
Mentally you work hard for your respect
Don't need no empathy
When people look you over and
Shut you out intentionally
You always said, 'If they
Don't fuck with you, they will eventually'
But remember when I went through prison?
When I did a bid and you the
Only one that came to visit?
Put money on my books and sent
Me pictures of some bitches?
They don't make 'em like you
No more, my nigga, you just different
And bro
You ain't have to pay my niece's tuition
Or set me up with that new job
And try to teach me the business
Always quick to hold me down
Before you speak your opinion
What goes around
Comes around and that's the
Reason you winnin'
But listen, I was thinkin', maybe
Since you my broski and I been
There since we was babies
You can hit the bank and break
Me off with somethin' wavy?
Maybe just a couple
Hundred-thousand? Nothin' crazy
'Cause, I been hurtin' lately
And I deserve it, maybe
And if you can't do it, that's cool
It ain't like I'll be angry
You still my broski and I love you
But that's kind of shady
'Cause, I been goin' through some shit
It ain't like I'm just lazy
So maybe you should pay me
I quit my job 'cause I don't
Wanna work for no other niggas
What maybe works for some
Don't work for some other niggas
Yeah, they pay good
But you know I'm a stubborn nigga
Plus, I know you got my back, right?
If not, then fuck it, I ain't askin' again
Just don't forget who walked with you
When your back to the wind
And don't forget who's ideas that
Got you rappin' again
When you lost your passion and got lazy
And was slackin' and shit and please
Don't treat me like them niggas
That be askin' for shit
'Cause, I never asked you for a damn thing
I'd rather pull a hamstring
And then run across
Some fan blades while jumpin' out a airplane
While sittin' in the damn rain
While beggin' for some spare change
I'm sorry that we all can't be
Talented and rich like you
The little people still struggle
We ain't lit like you
And if we bein' honest
It don't really seem like you
Want me to chase
My dreams so I can get like you
And lately, you been on some sucker
Shit, that's what I see, broski
I hope you know that hater shit is a disease
Broski 'Cause last time I checked
We was a fuckin' team
And just because you got paper, don't
Mean that you better than me, broski
I know everything about you
I know every single secret
I know where you rest your head at
I know every bitch you sleep with
I know where you keep your bread at
I pretended I don't see shit
You a greedy motherfucker
You been hopin' I don't be shit
You been gettin' fat while I been starvin'
You been buyin' every car and house
While I been in the garbage
I deserve everything you got and more
And that's a bargain
You just wanna shit on me and see me fall
And that's alarmin'
You just hopin' I'ma tarnish
You don't want me to be nothin'
You don't wanna open doors for me
You did a lil' somethin'
But you could've did a lil' more for me
No wonder why your father turned
His back on you, unfortunately
No wonder why your niggas set them
Traps on you to sorcery
You ain't nothin' but a phony, you a liar
You a snake and you can rap but you
Ain't Kendrick, you ain't Cole
You ain't Drake
Can't believe I called you family
I should shoot you in the face
Used to act like you was real
But always knew that you was fake
You let the fame get to your head and
All it did was made you whack
I always knew the day would come when
You would stab me in my back
One day, your money gon' be
Gone and I'll be happy, that's a fact
And then you'll move back to the hood
And I'll be laughin' when you back
But, you my nigga and I love you
And I wanna see you win
I wouldn't place no one above you
And you always been my friend since
We was steppin' in the puddles
Real niggas don't pretend 'cause
You're my brother, you my double
You my motherfuckin' twin
And I wanna let you know how I
Appreciate the things you show me
It's kind of hard to trust niggas
That's why I keep you closely
And look, I know that I don't tell you often
Maybe not even at all
But, I'm so proud of you and your success
Broski"

I'm hopin' I don't look down
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' on the solid ground
Fallin' on the solid ground
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' on the solid
Can't take care of later
