Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Used to post up on that corner

I was pale, they was tatted up

They was really aiming at opponents

I was tryna act savage, tryna act tough

White boy sittin’ in the backseat

Loud pack, big plans, bad habits

They was talking ‘bout bodies, I laughed it

But I seen too much, can’t cap it

I was tryna blend in with danger

Acting like I never felt fear

They was calling me bro, not stranger

But I knew I ain’t built like them peers

Still I rode when they slid through

Prayed quiet they ain’t really gotta shoot

Heart heavy when the smoke cleared

Some nights I still taste that truth

[Chorus]

See my money?! I’m gettin’ blues like a yo-yo

Up, down, up, down, that’s the way that it go though (yeah)

I was tryna fly, kept fallin’ to the old lows

We all lose some, that’s the way that the road goes

See my money?! I’m gettin’ blues like a yo-yo

Spin back, bounce back, pockets on solo

Thought I had it locked, got cut by my own smoke

We all lose some, that’s the way that the road goes (road goes)

[Verse 2]

Signed up tryna change my life

Left the block, left the long nights

Boot camp, new boots, new stripes

New hope, new code, new fights

But I kept that lil’ bag in my locker

One hit when the world felt heavy

Thought “ain’t no way this gon’ stop us”

Till they pulled me in, eyes deadly

First sergeant with the folder

“Son, you just threw this all away”

Head low, but my chest colder

Same kid from the block that day

Now I’m back in my hometown, same gas

Same couch, same past, same pain

Looking at the ones that ain’t last

Asking why I’m still stuck in this lane

[Chorus]

See my money?! I’m gettin’ blues like a yo-yo

Up, down, up, down, that’s the way that it go though

Built a lil’ stack, then I lost it on a slow roll

We all lose some, that’s the way that the road goes

See my money?! I’m gettin’ blues like a yo-yo

Spin back, bounce back, pockets on solo

Staring at the mirror like “you really let your soul go”

We all lose some, that’s the way that the road goes

[Bridge]

We all lose some, but what we learn from it? (yeah)

Boys with the guns, I still burn from it

Coulda been a tag on a toe, I admit

Coulda been a number in a file, that’s it

We all lose some, but I ain’t lose hope

Got scars, got charges, still I cope

From them shots in the dark to that failed test

Tryna turn all that mess to a real next step

[Chorus]

See my money?! I’m gettin’ blues like a yo-yo

Up, down, up, down, that’s the way that it go though

Fell off hard, but I’m climbin’ out slow-mo

We all lose some, that’s the way that the road goes

See my money?! I’m gettin’ blues like a yo-yo

Spin back, bounce back, pockets on solo

Every lil’ loss put a chip in my old glow

We all lose some… but I won’t let my soul go (yeah)

Style

raphard-hitting southern trap feelmid-tempo bounce with 808 sub swells and crisp hi-hats. verses ride a menacing yet nostalgic piano loop; hook explodes with layered male vocals and subtle chant backups. second half adds airy pads and a low vocal octave double to deepen the regretful tone while the drums stay locked and punchy.bluesenglish

Prompt

rap about the shooters I used to hang with even tho I was a white boy. Getting kicked out the military for a smoking a little weed. See my money?! I’m getting blues like a yoyo. We all loose some
