Pleeze - Intellectual

[Intro: Dom Kennedy]

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Dom Kennedy]

And we hang on the corner like a lamp post

Mom favorite singer Mr. Vandross

Dean wanna search through my JanSport

"Dom, take this rent up to the landlord"

'95 Windsor Hills city champ

Hit Orville Wright, got my city stamped

The 439 was my city van

Nigga hella cool, but don't get him amped

Shit, we try to live the best of it

So take what you need and leave the rest of it

Write your goals down, what you expect from it?

Baby on the way, keep them checks comin'

Streets real hard, but the test wasn't

Should've went to class with the rest of 'em

But fuck it, now my name with the best of 'em

Woo, he 19 in the Lex, thuggin'

Made a right turn on my old street

Niggas outside, chillin' lowkey

It's 12:47, Mr. Police

Fuckin' helicopters, get no sleep

Pillow on my head tryna drown it out

You can call me when you down and out

When the cops come and surround the house

Crenshaw niggas run the town, I'm out

[Chorus: Dom Kennedy]

Please make it home safe

Just make it home safe

Yup

[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]

Dead end in the J's off of August St

Pops drove a turquoise 280 Z

Playing Tracy Chapman, we was watching Heat

Shoot out in the alley make it hard to sleep

59th & 5th at my Granny house

Uncle Reggie spillin' Schultz on my Granny couch

The lesson was never go the addict route

To deal with mines? I probably pull the automatic out

60th & 10th, cable with the chip

12 gauge behind the door, plastic where you sit

I told them I would do it, talked a lot of shit

Came back home after all the trips

Pillow on they head tryna drown it out

You can still call me if you down and out

When the cops come and surround the house

Crenshaw niggas run the town, I'm out

[Chorus: Dom Kennedy]

Please make it home safe

Just make it home safe

Yup

[Interlude]

Good news, boys

It turns out that the early reports were all wrong

Sorry about that

I guess the only thing we can do now is play you a song
