Common, Lil Bibby - Speak To Em lyrics

Let me tell you how I feel
This the same life I dreamed
About when we was kids
And since I got a couple M's
I ain’t gon’ preach to ‘em
But let me speak to ‘em let me speak to ‘em
Let me speak to ‘em let me speak to ‘em
Let me speak to ‘em

I say they know that I’m a loose screw
Pockets on that Bruce Bruce
Nigga lose it all
Bitch act like she never knew you
So I don’t catch feelings baby
I just keep it neutral
Let her stay a couple nights, I hit the road
I’m through with you these niggas amateurs
Fuckin’ on these models and these actresses
I keep it under wraps cause
Bitches runnin’ game and I
Know they ain’t slick
She gon’ meet a ball player
And do the same shit
I swear this shit is hard
Gotta watch for these niggas and these broads
Ain’t no friends turn frauds
Still waiting on the day a nigga
Try to pull a card
Loyal to this thing of ours
My youngest down to risk it all
Been a young star, back to back in them cars
In the streets my life was hard
So every day I thank God
All praise to Allah
Blessed we made it this far
Studied the attraction law
She want me to hit it raw

Now let me tell you how I feel
This the same life I dreamed
About when we was kids
And since I got a couple ills
I ain’t gon’ preach to ‘em
But let me speak to ‘em let me speak to ‘em
Let me speak to ‘em let me speak to ‘em
Let me speak to ‘em

I remember trappin’ all winter
Know I kept it killer, January to December
I was in the trap all day gettin’ faded
Boomin’ like Metro til it got raided
Learn the rules to the game ‘fore you play it
They gon’ ask you, better not say shit
Cause what you say gon’ be used
In the court of law
He wasn’t built, got in that room
And he told it all, damn
Thought that was your friend right?
He should help you do that ten right?
He was with you smilin’
Riding in your Benz right?
You was on top, but that shit ain’t air right
Out witnessing the judge’ll lose you
He ain’t even send you money
For a pack of noodles
Thought he was real but he fuckin’ fooled you
Different hood, same story
It’s the fuckin’ usual

Now let me tell you how I feel
This the same life I dreamed
About when we was kids
And since I got a couple M's
I ain’t gon’ preach to ‘em
But let me speak to ‘em let me speak to ‘em
Let me speak to ‘em let me speak to ‘em
Let me speak to ‘em

Pyramids and stars on garages
The Gods is plugged in
The streets catching charges
He used to serve from the crib
And his daddy was the sergeant
Black Life Matters, before we was marching
My squadron stretched from 87th to the 9
Real niggas on the grind
With the power to refine
Know good wine and crime
Expensive watches and niggas doin’ time
Everybody wanna shine
The young stars aligned with us
We used to fuck they babysitters
Now these young niggas is hittas
On the streets they deliver
I was that nigga that rolled
Up and smacked niggas
Now I yell "Free Allah
Bless the trap niggas!"
Cop lights backlit us, the spotlight
Made niggas wanna clap niggas
Black bigger lifestyle
From Rothschilds to White Owls
Livin’ for the right now
My niggas never lied down
Don’t sleep on my city
We keep it a buck fifty
That’s why I fuck with Bibby, hear me?

Now let me tell you how I feel
This the same life I dreamed
About when we was kids
And since I got a couple M's
I ain’t gon’ preach to ‘em
But let me speak to ‘em let me speak to ‘em
Let me speak to ‘em let me speak to ‘em
Let me speak to ‘em
