K-Rino - Corner Store Convo lyrics

Yeah man
Only people from the hood can relate to this
But then again
Maybe it’s going on everywhere
Let’s talk about it

Hey, I pulled up to the gas station
It’s a rat race when cats is talking fast
But I mastered that translation
I’m weaving through a scene like ten or more
One of ‘em wouldn’t take no for an answer
He quickly followed me in the store
He saw me pulling out a chunk of money
Said I wanted twenty on number five
That’s when he asked if he
Could pump it for me
Knew it was bread he was concerned with
Started to tell him no but then
I thought to myself, ‘well
At least he’s tryna earn it’
I gave him a permit
And before I put the car in drive
I handed him a dollar
He got mad and said he charges five
I said, "boy, you high and crazy
Hope that ain’t your best line"
He took the dollar, walked away and said
"just get me next time"
I had to leave this dude in limbo
Just when I started to pull off
It was another cat politely
Tapping on my window
I let it down so I could hear his speech
He said he needed two dollars for gas
His car had stopped on him
Right down the street
Didn’t want to come off like I’m hating
He said he was with his family
I said where they at? He said
They in the car just waiting
I said, "your story just don’t even out
If you knew your needle was that close
To ‘E’ and you was broke
Why leave the house?"
Matter of fact, unless my mind is slow
The more that I think back
I heard this line at least
Eleven different times before
"And what you said all the rest would say
Hold up, man, I live around the way
I saw you standing out here yesterday"
I waved him off and made a violent sound
After riding ‘round a while
I stopped at a store on
The other side of town
While tryna park, I almost hit this dude
He dropped the old classic line on me
"Can I get some change? I’m
Tryna get some food"
Was hard to process what he talking ‘bout
‘cause he was laying on the ground
99 degree heat like he on his couch
I said, "I can’t give you no money, chief
But meet me across the street
We can go to Denny’s
I’ll just grab you something to eat"
He said, "I don’t want to offend you
I’m allergic to Denny’s"
"How the hell you allergic
To the whole menu?"
At that moment I detected deception
Since he couldn’t answer the question
I started stepping in the opposite direction
But y’all shoulda seen this next one
He came up to me flexing ‘cause I guess he
Knew he had his game down to perfection
He said he would perform for some green
He did three freestyles and the
Whole Billy Jean routine
When he was finished a couple
Of dollars he requested
I went on to bless him
‘cause that moonwalk was impressive
Later on the same night, G
This cat caught me at the store in
Third Ward buying a white tee
Reached in a bag and said, "please
Just listen"
Then he tried to sell me a pack of
Lunch meat half open with two pieces missing
I said, "bro, I ain’t got time for y’all
All I got for you today is knowledge
Take this copy of the final call"
Now I don’t mind helping those in need
But, I ain’t giving a dime to a beggar
Out here wearing better clothes than me
Able-bodied grown men and women roaching
But, I know when I come back tomorrow
More gon’ be approaching so I
