Build me up build me up build me up

So here I go ... pay attention... alright

[Verse 1]

Young black teen left his mama house

Had big dreams to be a trap star

Motivated by videos of rap stars

Plenty white bitches floating round like they Casper

Glass jar full of money devil in his ear

Gotta pump enough Js and you can own a pair

Go OT for that bonus share

No commercials out here we selling coke off to polar bears

Went from being a bore to entrepreneur

Money on the bed naked bitches on the floor

Parked outside is the fly whip

Full of team niggas anyday to do or die with

Till the police hit the sirens

They get ghost you get caught cuffed in the back of that crown Vick

You surrounded look around at your surrounding

They call it in like we got him we found him

The block crowned him

But the cops clown him

Judge gave him a job behind bars using mop handles

And then the dust settles and the drugs wear off

Regrets set in

Ten years on a first offense

The young teen trynna figure what this means

Light turn to dark life dreams into pipe dreams

That’s when you figure hype kills

So hold on to your night drills

Cuz you know how this life feels

[Hook]

I bleed for these streets

I bleed for these streets

But hold on

What’s in it for me tho

What’s in it for me tho

Yh

I bleed for these streets

I bleed for these streets

But hold on

What’s in it for me tho

What’s in it for me tho

Yh

I don bleed for these streets

I don bleed for these mo’fucken streets dawg

So what’s in it for me tho

So what’s in it for me tho

I bleed for these streets

I bleed for these mo’fucken streets dawg

So what’s in it for me tho

What’s in it for me tho

Yh

[Verse 2]

Can’t nobody tell me shit

I been thru it all from a land where grown men dig holes just to take a shit

You cover your mess you cover your tracks

Niggas went HAM for the hood we wasn’t banging for flags

We take axe to the frauds

Send back stabbers to the lord oo

And we owned our own whips no car loans

In like Davinci trynna crack the damn code in the damn cold

But that money kept us warm tho

Every morning like Alonzo we tote heat

We prepared like pros before we proceed

And on three

We shooting for all three

Money power fame till the lord calls me

Dodging authorities young rude and disorderly

Fuck morality getting money priority

And still is run the blitz to get just a quarter back

Cuz that’s a shorter path

I’m trynna make it to them foreign banks

Ignoring sins building dreams with these bloody hands

I’m just hoping y’all can understand

[Outro]

This here ain’t about sympathy

Naw That ain’t what this is about

Yh

This right here about clearing the air man

You relate you relate u know what I mean
