Kevin Gates - IHOP (True Story) lyrics

Kevin Gates: I ain’t gon' lie I
Be gettin' a lil emotional
Go ahead, record it all
I be gettin a lil emotional when
I be doing this but
It’s just him with that camera that
Shit that be throwing me off
Ready? Start it off?

Person 1: You go

Kevin Gates: You ain’t gotta leave out, it’s
Just I know I’m on film, you heard me?
Person 2: No you’re good

Kevin Gates: So it fuck with me a lil bit
You ain’t gotta go nowhere though you
Can sit down and stay it’s a true story
And I ain't gon' forget my words start it off

I was chilling in the
IHOP overheard a conversation
Both of them niggas killers one
Of them was Michael Caden
Big brother to Jason I went
To school with him
His brother got killed so now he
Keep a tool with him
Live around the corner from his 2 daughters
No father
That’s when the waitress came over like
May I take your order
Give me the breakfast sample, orange juice
And a coke
That nigga looked at me and nodded
His head I never spoke
Like what the fuck them niggas looking at
That’s what I heard the other say
Looked at me mean mugging wait
Nigga turn the other way
I had to turn deaf ears
Satan was in my left ear
Like go and cancel you a
Nigga nobody can see you
Show them niggas that you real
Nobody could be you
I walked over and asked him you want
To take it off your shoulder?
Hand checking him in his face
Telling him I’m a soldier
I ain’t no fuckin drug lord I ain’t
The type to try to be
10 years of aggression you don’t want
To see that out of me
Jagged Edge Smith & Wesson banging
Singin I gotta be, that nigga
That nigga
It all started on a Tuesday afternoon me
And my bitch got into it
Unnecessary foolishness 2 and half ruined
Found out from another chick
Living out of town
In a upstairs apartment that
Was 3 corners down clip spot for my rounds
Jeff used to score pounds
Tanya ran it to me how Amber had ran into me
Me and Tanya remain cool Amber man was pussy
He ran to the block and check
Some niggas from another hood
They came back and black masked up
Just like I knew they would
Running out there bucking loud niggas
All will laugh at ya
Hard not to bang when you
Got bitch niggas attacking ya
Up the forty caliber on coming passenger
Scuffle through the tourist section
Stole on a trafficker
Seen him with his clique he used to mug
But never bucked with them
Used to keep a smirk because my
Old lady was fucking him
Ain’t no need to get mad I’m thinking
I ain’t never fuck with him
Hit one of my niggas up
We bargained on his brain
Fucking with my lil brother
Who frequently snorted cain
Dapped him down as I pass him was
Heading to where he twerked him
Back was turned the whole time lil
Brother ran up and murked him
Issued him two to the dome and
Worked him with the chrome
Till this day I can say I
Set him up and he gone

3 months prior I’m downtown
Meeting Lisa McBoyd
I’m in town handling business for
Floyd he couldn’t make it
I'mma take it by myself
I'm awaiting a vacation
3 bricks going to Kurt coming
Home from Las Vegas on the phone with Joe
Finishing a conversation
His cell was gon be off cause
He was at a graduation but shit
I’m on my way out a state to meet Mason
He told me to be safe and
Any problems I can page him
Jeff sitting patient in a vacant location
Not knowing that we was
Stopping in another metropolitan
Tanya text Jeff still
Waiting replied obviously
Hope your cousin Kevin ain’t fake
And he ain’t jiving me
Or trying to get me up to
The 'jects plotting on robbing me
Tanya said Kevin my cousin he
Wouldn’t lie to me
Whenever y’all had talked he was right
Here on the side of me
They into real estate and
Probably looking at property
