Atmosphere - The Ropes lyrics
rate me<BR>
<i>[Slug]</i><br>
Hey man, you remember Stephanie's little cousin?<br>
Yeah, a little feminine motherfucker<br>
Used to be scared of the football, yeah man<br>
Nah, nah I saw him the other night down town<br>
Wilding out man, it was crazy<br>
Running around headpin<br>
Waving a gun at frat boys and shit<br>
<br>
Ay dog, I heard you got those trees<br>
Wait dog, you can't possibly pee<br>
Even thirteen, what you doing open this late?<br>
You ain't got no older brothers to hold you in place<br>
Yeah I know, you gotta get your hustle on<br>
and life does go on and fronts like nothing's wrong<br>
State law says you're too young to work<br>
But a couple of bucks will put a gun up under your shirt<br>
Coke, weed, junk and speed<br>
Teach me another type of hide and seek<br>
Chemistry, economics, math and business<br>
Already a pimp before high school's finished<br>
Even the rich kids get in the mix<br>
Only difference is them bitches did it for kicks<br>
And we quick to say it's just a game that's dealt<br>
that gave you that rope so you can hang yourself<br>
It goes...<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus 2X]</i><br>
So big kid, where did you go?<br>
We made you grow up quick, showed you the ropes<br>
Do it up so...<br>
<br>
<i>[Slug]</i><br>
The movies and the music taught me how to do it<br>
And how to build a crew, and how to get it moving<br>
Supply and demand came and held my hand<br>
Should've seen me back then, didn't even have a plan<br>
Only had a pistol cause they had a pistol<br>
Cocked that hammer and blowed them missiles<br>
I only had a handful of minutes<br>
So if we gon' talk then we only talk business<br>
Now tell me what you want from me<br>
I got a few females, you need some company<br>
Because y'all don't be where those junkies be<br>
But hold up now, you gon' pull your guns on me?<br>
Nah man, I'm a big kid with big dreams<br>
You gon' treat me like you know that I'm only sixteen<br>
Huh, well fuck it right? Shut my eyesight<br>
Only squeezed out a couple and I only got double life<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus: 2X]</i><br>
<br>
<i>[Slug]</i><br>
Hey there girly, you got your worm early<br>
Jumped off the branch, fly little birdy<br>
Look around, but don't look down<br>
cause you see no need to touch foot to the ground<br>
Sex, drugs, rock and rolled up<br>
Them older boys got you thinking that you growed up<br>
Spent the whole day getting high<br>
Putting work on them little thighs<br>
And I ain't tryna criticise<br>
You gotta live your life, you gotta get your stripes<br>
Take aim and kiss the sky<br>
Don't be another one wishing that you did it right<br>
Nah do your best, it's all we can expect<br>
Try to see the game while it deals the death<br>
Got to keep keeping on, move it along<br>
cause there's a whole lot left when today's all gone, now<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus: 2X]</i><br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
