Zacari, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, Kembe X - Raised a Fool lyrics

Feels good to be alive, don't it?
I’d rather die than work a nine to five
Put this on my gravestone that
There's no one realer
Put that on my mama, I'ma go
In with my chin up, grinnin’
Yeah, I'm a go-getter, a smooth killer
Yeah, I do what it do
Ayy, yo, pops, you done raised a fool
You done raised a fool

My whole family love the earth
We came from the dirt
Where the raisins burn, best thing they
Can do is stay alert, uh
Daddy used to push a Caddy
Off of pushing work
I'm like why you tell this story while
We on the way to church? Uh
Dad went up in smoke, shit
His daddy name was Blunt
Got hooked on the stones
Rehabbed for a month
By the time that I was 5
My mama was traumatized
'Cause her husband ballin' but he
Don't be showin' up
Probably where I got my
Affinity for the trinity
A love triangle, experimenting with chemistry
I'ma need both, boy, fuck it, surrendering
Want a queen for each side
I just love the symmetry
When I drop my tape, people gon’ go ape
Keep that ho up on repeat like
"Where the fuck is the B side?"
Feel like I’m fishin'
I’m killin' niggas with each line
I be usin' all three eyes so I see fine

Yeah, I'm a go-getter, a smooth killer
Yeah, I do what it do
Ayy, yo, pops, you done raised a fool
You done raised a fool

I come from a place, got no choice
You gotta stand up
When shit get real on the field
You better man up
No time for no two-three zone
Walk slow, think fast, hit hard
Shout out to my goons on
Them yards goin’ hard
My OG's talk, I listen
My young rattlesnakes with strong ass venom
When they talk, I listen
'Cause back then, I was
Doin' the same shit, champ
Really wasn't nothin' different, now listen
Me and my clique were small
As a grain of salt
Wonder how we all became close brothers
Because we fought we never let no pussy lips
Come between the covenent
Now we goin' hamburger and all
The bitches lovin' it might go to Hamburg
Germany for the fuck of it
Spend a couple hundred thousand dollars
On some other shit
Then ride the money train back home
My pops raised a fool, that's why I
Relive him all through my songs, woo

Feels good to be alive, don't it?
I'd rather die than work a nine to five
Put this on my gravestone that
There's no one realer
Put that on my mama, I'ma go
In with my chin up, grinnin'
Yeah, I'm a go-getter, a smooth killer
Yeah, I do what it do
Ayy, yo, pops, you done raised a fool
You done raised a fool

Ayy, look
What's your life about? Enlighten me
Is you gon' live on your knees
Or die on your feet?
Stand up and face the music or
Run and meet your defeat?
I am to the microphone what
The sun is to heat (Hot)
Hence all the fans you see wavin' at me
All of the debatin'
All of the scrapes masturbatin' to me
That's why they buy a ticket
To pay attention to me
I'm making cents making sense, bitch
Life is but a dream smooth criminal
Sexy like Mike on Thriller album (Soulo)
Everything I do is intentional, listen
We feel a threat, we don't fret
We just send 'em at 'em
Yeah, like God did in Genesis, nigga
(Get it?)
I couldn't triumph until I stopped trying
(Hey) i couldn't be top tier
Until I stopped cryin' my mama is an angel
My pop was shot in the head and
That's why I'm brain dead and
Promised a spot in heaven, and it

Feels good to be alive, don't it? (Soul)
I'd rather die than work a nine to five
Put this on my gravestone that
There's no one realer
Put that on my mama, I'ma go
In with my chin up, grinnin'
Yeah, I'm a go-getter, a smooth killer
Yeah, I do what it do
Ayy, yo, pops, you done raised a fool
You done raised a fool

Feels good to be alive, don't it?
I'd rather die than work a nine to five
Put this on my gravestone that
There's no one realer
Put that on my mama, I'ma go
In with my chin up, grinnin'
Yeah, I'm a go-getter, a smooth killer
Yeah, I do what it do
Ayy, yo, pops, you done raised a fool
You done raised a fool
