[Verse]

Uh, front porch

Empty beer bottle for a ash tray full of butts from Newport Shorts

Niggas shit talking back and forth

Lighting blunts, nigga, pass the torch (Pass the torch, nigga)

Product of paper plates and plastic forks as a first and a last resort

Scramblin' for cash on a crash course

Waitin' on them stamps, but don't nobody got no passports

Ambulance light the night up like its the 4th

And me and my homie just hit the sto' to get a fifth

Been tight since middle school, I think I met him in the sixth

Consider him my brethren by the time we copped a .7

His moms kept me straight on them days I barely ate, can you relate?

.9 up under my seat, Retro 10's on my feet

It's like a quarter 'til eleven

You hear them twelves when they beep?

It feel like Friday 13th

These lil' niggas runnin' in this bitch with masks, give 'em cash or they'll blast

We dipped out fast and hopped in the bucket and hauled ass

Think I saw like eighty-five on the dash (Fuck nigga move, yo!)

And even though it wasn't us causin' the friction

We two black males, so we fit the description

Tryna feed our addictions, and look where we landed

Potential suspects with two .11's, I hope we can manage

To make it back to the porch with minimal damage

I panicked and ran on the curb

Nothin' that can't be handled by a mechanic

I just ain't tryna' end up in front of a cops cannon

They'll kill our ass right where we standin' and empty handed

Dammit, police issue, blow a niggas chest away

The homie sayin', "I was just with him yesterday"

Got him pouring out the forty ounce (R.I.P my nigga, we miss you) (Damn)

I'll just be one of many more announce

Hashtag before my name when they showing support

Should've kept my black ass on the porch (Eh, uh)


[Refrain]

So you really wanna jump off of that porch and let live take its course?

The world is yours

Forced to be a man, you had to grow up quick

Now you seein' first hand life's a bitch (Life's a bitch)

Should've kept my black ass on the porch

Should've kept my black ass on the porch

Now, I'm forced to resort, nigga, life is short, shit

I should've kept my black ass on the porch, uh (Black ass on the porch)

So you really wanna jump off of that porch and let live take its course? (Take its course?)

The world is yours

Forced to be a man, you had to grow up quick

Now you seein' first hand life's a bitch (Life's a bitch)

Should've kept my black ass on the porch

Should've kept my black ass on the porch

Now, I'm forced to resort

Nigga, life is short, shit

I should've kept my black ass on the porch (Black ass on the porch)
