Lift Me Up (Explicit) - Vince Staples
Hey I'm just a nigga until I fill my pockets
And then I'm mr nigga they follow me while shoppin'
I feel like mickey richards they feel like muddy waters
So tell me what's the difference
so tell me what's the difference
My momma was a christian crip walkin' on blue-waters
Was fadin' up in davis then walkin' back to palmer
A fro like huey partner auntie angie had them choppers
So tell me what's the difference
so tell me what's the difference
I feel like fuck versace they rapin' nigga's pockets
And we don't get acknowledged just thank me for the profit
A prophet just like moses if moses look like shaka
Zulu my 44 loaded I'm aimin' at nirvana
My bitch look like madonna they starin' at katana
Waiter still ain't brought the chopsticks
should have brought the chopper
Uber driver in the cockpit look like jeffrey dahmer
But he lookin' at me crazy when we pull up to the projects
See this weight is on my shoulders pray jehovah lift me up
And my pain is never over pills and potions fix me up
I just want to live it up can a motherfucker breathe
Life ain't always what it seems so please just lift me up
Lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up
Lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up
Lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up
We love our neighborhood so all my brothers bang the hood
I never vote for presidents the presidents
that changed the hood
Is dead and green was standin'
on this mezzanine in Paris France
Feel despairs cause most my homies never finna get this chance
All these white folks chanting
when I asked 'em where my niggas at
Goin' crazy got me goin' crazy I can't get wit' that
Wonder if they know I know they won't go where we kick it at
Ho this shit ain't gryffindor we really killin' kickin' doors
Fight between my conscious and the skin that's on my body
Man I need to fight the power but I need that new ferrari
Man I breathe in bleed this poppy street
I shot them guns cause talk is cheap
Bow your head and pray okay now walk wit' me
See this weight is on my shoulders pray jehovah lift me up
And my pain is never over pills and potions fix me up
I just want to live it up can a motherfucker breathe
Life ain't always what it seems so please just lift me up
Lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up
Lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up
Lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up lift me up
Lift me up lift me up lift me lift me up
Lift me lift me up lift me lift me up
Lift me lift me lift me lift me lift me lift me up
Lift me lift me up lift me lift me up
