Quando Rondo - My Life Story lyrics

(TJ produced it) ooh woah, oh oh
I used to call you my lil' bro
You went and broke the code
(Key Gang got the keys jumpin') oh, yeah
Sometimes I think about my life as a red rose
Some Guccis on, walking down the dead road
Ayy

I had a dream about my
Killer just the night before
Hate to face the fact that
Love don't live here
They knife to my throat
I used to call you my lil' bro
You went and broke the code
Guess I'm just a flower in the
Garden that won't never grow
Heart been so broke so many times
Come meet me at the crossroad
Fifty-one, fifty
I was taught to scribe and stick to my oath


Fifty-fifty, I split the pot and they
Still come back for more just like Ricky
Hit me with backshots and left
Me all on my own

Stood on my ten toes, like fuck it
Had a hard knock life as a child
Three-twenty-three in ninety-nine
Got notified by the scout
Jumped off the porch, father in prison
Out in the streets, he left four children
Double the pain that I been feeling
Never understood what that shit really meant
Momma smokin' dope, right there by
Rufus house, since I had grew up adopted
I rolled my bike down thirty-eighth
Then met them Crips that claim harder
Popped up the road at an early age
That's where I learned all my knowledge
Letter from my lil' cousin Vinny
Sayin' somebody killed Quahfee
2016 judge let me out
I grew a passion for rappin'
Sixteen years old, out on my own
I had to go make it happen
So I put the music to the side
Pooda introduced me to trappin'
I knew that shit, that wasn't for
Me, right back to lights, camera, action
Hittin' on the old school Pontiac
I used to rap to fat Brandon
When I ain't have a place to
Go, I stayed with Tim, my lil' cousin
Now they on my dick
Who been there for me? That's
One thing I remember
Oh, you were legit from hitting licks
Now you longer a member

I had a dream about my
Killer just the night before
Hate to face the fact that
Love don't live here
They knife to my throat
I used to call you my lil' bro
You went and broke the code
Guess I'm just a flower in the
Garden that won't never grow
Heart been so broke so many times
Come meet me at the crossroad
Fifty-one, fifty
I was taught to scribe and stick to my oath
Fifty-fifty, I split the pot and they
Still come back for more just like Ricky
Hit me with backshots and left
Me all on my own

Second from first, I couldn't accept it
Out of all them things I can't go for it
Used to OG preach like the reverend
And still ain't got nothin' to show for it
Got tired of seeing grandma stressin'
Looking to the sky like "Why? Oh Lord"
Live by the knife, die by the Wesson
That's the question from ol' boy
Didn't make it out, was always dancin'
I couldn't seem to learn from they lessons
Can I chase my dream deep in the ghetto?
My uncle told me like "Go for it"
From the way I killed that
Shit so thorough, Lord
Please send me a blessing
Them bottom boys knew I was special
From that song in my section
'Cause where I'm from, catch
A body it's exciting, yeah
Whole lotta gang indictments, yeah
Whole lotta bullets flying, yeah
Whole lotta people dying, yeah
Whole lotta mommas crying, yeah
War all about the streets
Livin' out this all that he knows
Late night commas
I miss lil Leaky like one day we gon' blow
He tell me he gon' see alright
Through the fakes
I took a look back to my life
I see a dead rose

Ayy, I had a dream about my
Killer just the night before
Hate to face the fact that
Love don't live here
They knife to my throat
I used to call you my lil' bro
You went and broke the code
Guess I'm just a flower in the
Garden that won't never grow
Heart been so broke so many times
Come meet me at the crossroad
Fifty-one, fifty
I was taught to scribe and stick to my oath
Fifty-fifty, I split the pot and they
Still come back for more just like Ricky
Hit me with backshots and left
Me all on my own

Oh, oh whoa i used to call you my lil' bro
You went and broke the code oh
Sometimes I think about my life as a red rose
Rolling down in Melrose ayy, ayy
