Joey BadASS - Born Day lyrics
rate me(Hook)
Yeah, I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty, it's a blessin'
Yo, twenty is a blessin'
I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty, it's a blessin'
I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty, it's a blessin'
Yo, twenty is a blessin'
Check it out! Twenty is a blessin'
(Verse)
What a nigga to do, nothin' to lose
The whole world to gain, comin' o' age
Momma cut loose my chain, now I'm walkin' these streets like a gladiator
Momma should have kept me cuffed me up to the radiator
Fuck's that bullshit on the radio?
Tell that nigga Ebro, please play that flavor
& I don't really ask for favors, & toot my own horn
& I just really got to say the state o' hip hop ain't been the same since
They brainwashed you'z to think we came from a slave ship
Hop out o' the spaceship, the code of the language is to realize
They tryna keep us trapped in the anguish
Floodin' the airwaves wit all o' the same shit
Forgettin' what's ancient, they tell us we ain't shit
The only means o' gettin' by is killin' our own, left in the tomb
Or even worse, puttin' it in a song to sing along
& I'm a Hot Nigga, cuz where was OG Bobby Johnson
To tell young Shmurda that he has some betta options
Don't want to blame the streets that adopted him, or the doctrine
That got his mind, so boxed up in & I don't judge
But there's no one to blame but us, & that's the truth, but
It's always swept under the rug, & deep down we all want to be luved
But they got us so blind, we don't want to be us
& growin' up in the slums, the shit is tough, I ain't bulletproof
But full o' truth, so shoot 'em up till he deceased
& lined right back on the streets
I hope left enough gold for ya to get back on yo feet, peace
(Hook)
I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty, it's a blessin'
Yo, twenty is a blessin'
I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty, it's a blessin'
I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty, it's a blessin'
Yo, twenty is a blessin'
Check it out! Twenty is a blessin'
(Verse 2)
The riches under my soul is full o' shit
Kinda like the gist o' errythin' from most o' ya lips
Ya see the cash on the othaside's greener
But nowadays I feel like I walk wit a Nina cuz the streets got meaner
Preachers got mad nice & my cousin just passed like, ya just swerve
& then ya matter, seconds, minutes, & hours
No time to question the Bible, cuz any blink could demolish a current
Is it yo saga? So I'm honored to be here today
The world is ours, we should celebrate in erry way
Spread the knowledge to the youth &tell them what we lay
6 feet, I'm 6 feet, standing on my own 2 , & my own shouldas
It's that deep, shiftin' to max p's, will I put my (?) right?
Into the back seat, flowin' out my veins, runnin' tracks like an athlete
It's insane, Apex rap, let 'em see the gas o' the aesthetics, yeah
(Hook)
I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty, it's a blessin'
Yo, twenty is a blessin'
I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty, it's a blessin'
I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty, it's a blessin'
Yo, twenty is a blessin'
Check it out! Twenty is a blessin'
(Outro)
