[Kevin Gates - Metro lyrics]
Flat broke
Having Richard Mille visions while I'm
Chilling in my loft
My children miss they father, workin' out
I'm missin' calls
Suffered at the hands I love
Trust come with a cost
Exhausted as I recover from the
Millions I done lost feelings come across
Everybody 'round ain't really with me
Ever been on this side of the
Fence? You gotta feel me rumour since a kid
A lot of people wanna kill me
They just talk good as a
Bitch, I'm by myself, bitch, come and get me
Canik got a fifty, you flinch
You comin' with me
Standin' on that business
I'm slinging it 'til it's empty
In the streets of BR
It's the hardest way of livin'
The good die young and all
The others go to prison
My heart been under strain
A lot of things that I don't mention
Ain't hands-on with it
You can't paint this kind of picture
Wanna forgive
But it's a lot that I can't let go
Disrespect me
You got to be careful in the Metro
With me right or wrong, trill
Respect the way I'm built
Hardheaded in the past 'cause I ain't
Let 'em pick my friends
Same people I'm relyin' in been
Tryna get me peeled
Pimpin' sayin' these the consequences
Of keeping it real
They admired and they envied
Fake cases they gon' build
They'll love to see me liberated
This is not a drill safety pin
Flippin' nickel rocks and turned it into zips
On the clock workin' the Digi scale
We weigh up every tenth
From the J's receivin' change
How we turned it into bricks
Addin' corners, grabbin' soda
Then go stand up in the kitch'
Yellow box of plastic baggies
Ain't no sandwich gettin' fixed
Stuff the package in the corner
Rip the bag and burn the tips i10 survivor
Back and forth to Texas takin' trips
Out on bail
Juggin' hard to pay the lawyers and the rent
On color code wearing gloves in case
They caught me in the piss
Prayin' for a crooked attorney so
The case'll get dismissed
Convicted felon
Heavy metal what I kept close disrespect me
You got to be careful in the Metro
Based on instruction, the game and reality
Life on the main stage
Can't let 'em shackle me
Remember every missed meal
That hunger pain fluent
This allowin' me to make grown man music
Grown man music
Yeah, we makin' grown man music
Wanna forgive
But it's a lot that I can't let go
Disrespect me
You got to be careful in the Metro
Back in every way
He feel alert when pumpin' petrol
Servin' dog food
Turned the trap into a Petco
Compartment with the strap attached
We not talkin' Velcro keep it on my lap
Receive the pack from off a cellphone
Cali top drop
Let down the flap when I'm on Melrose
Foreign bitch from 'cross the border in
The water on a sailboat
These other rappers lyin'
I still get 'em for the LO i'm a general
So who the fuck is I'ma tell on?
Wanna forgive
But it's a lot that I can't let go
Disrespect me
You got to be careful in the Metro
Remember every missed meal
That hunger pain fluent
This allowin' me to make grown man music
Having Richard Mille visions while I'm
Chilling in my loft
My children miss they father, workin' out
