MOUNT WESTMORE - Lace You Up lyrics

What's up, nephew?
Here's some advice from your big homies
Let me give you some game
Straight from the OGs
Can I lace you up? (yeah, yeah)
Can I lace you up? (yeah, yeah)
Let me lace you up (yeah, yeah)
You should let me lace you up

What up youngin? I see you gunnin'
Got 'em runnin', nephew
Don't give a fuck about a curfew
He'll murk you and hurt you
'Cause to him, you know, life is not a virtue
Talk fast as he walk past roll his eyes
Don't give a fuck about your advice
What you want? 'Cause he gotta go
Bring your ass over here, nigga
And listen to the O
I'm just tryin' to lace you
So they won't come investigate you
But if I can't make a breakthrough
I'll come to your funeral and
Try to awake you

What's up, nephew?
Here's some advice from your big homies
Let me give you some game
Straight from the OGs
Can I lace you up? (yeah, yeah)
Can I lace you up? (yeah, yeah)
Let me lace you up (yeah, yeah)
You should let me lace you up (O oh)

It's game involved
I was spittin' game when you
Was in your daddy's balls
I'm buttoned up, I'm polished and I'm crispy
Shut the fuck up and listen to me
After I give you this game, you can rewind
(You can rewind)
I was your age, you ain't never been mine
I was raised in the cage
In the middle of the octagon (Octagon)
When we'd squab it out and chunk 'em
Fuck a gun (Fuck a gun)
It was a time in my life
When I was young and dumb (Young and dumb)
Turned my life around when I had my first son
When I was growin' up
We hustled for the change (For the change)
Wasn't big on snatchin' chains
And we was wrong for selling 'caine

What's up, nephew?
Here's some advice from your big homies
Let me give you some game
Straight from the OGs
Can I lace you up? (yeah, yeah)
Can I lace you up? (yeah, yeah)
Let me lace you up (yeah, yeah)
You should let me lace you up

I used to be the same way that you is
Until my homie took me 'round to a get down
Sit down
Listen for a second, check it for the record
Put the needle on the wax
That's whole new perspective
Selected with my objective
'Cause I'ma keep you protected
Every step that you step with
I'm callin' plays like Leftwich
It ain't how you came
It's how much game you left with
My lessons effective, see
'cause your life is invested
And how you get tested, domestic, trust this
Your big homeboy done faced up
New shoes nephews, I keep you laced up

What's up, nephew?
Here's some advice from your big homies
Let me give you some game
Straight from the OGs
Can I lace you up? (yeah, yeah)
Can I lace you up? (yeah, yeah)
Let me lace you up (yeah, yeah)
You should let me lace you up

You in a trap, let me tell you what it is
It's a trap, lil' homies on the block
Selling crack, tryna get some racks
But when they get you in that system boy
Ain't no comin' back
And when you lookin' at the big picture
It's them folks always tryna get niggas
Even if you pimpin' or you scammin'
They wanna lock the door on you and slam it
(Slam it) so they can work you like a slave
Then lock you in a cage
You ain't gettin' paid
Why you workin' every day?
(Why you workin' every day?)
You tryna get some time reduced?
That's some bullshit nigga
I ain't lyin' to you (I ain't lyin' to you)
