Vince Staples - Shots lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Niggas die off of Poppy street

And my mama vouch they drive by

We don't run inside, bitch, we shoot it out

On my grind, Benz color of the crimes I've been committing

I've been fighting all my life and

I ain't stopping till it's finished

Rapid fire power sound just like a helicopter engine

Hell ain't threatening to them niggas who ain't eva heard religion

In this field you Phillis Wheatleyz ain't gon' neva catch me slippin'

Serve that brick piece, now we sneaky, sell till the man come and get 'em

(Hook)

Yeah, my niggas built for war, my niggas built for war

They sending threats, we sending shots

They sending threats, we sending shots

(Verse)

Fuck the pigs alive and dead

'cuz they ain't never had my back

See you black, for' you a man, and you a nigga fore' you that.

You will never understand if you done seen it second hand,

You ain't ready for that war then please don't step across them tracks,

Rent money low and pressure high, no sellin' O's just selling dimes,

These California sunny sky's done looked down on me all of my life,

Is you really bout' what you write?

Know they waitin' on my demise,

And I been waiting too, my patience through,

Blue Haitian Noose in the sky

(Hook)

Yeah, my niggas built for war, my niggas built for war

They sending threats, we sending shots

They sending threats, we sending shots

(Verse)

Martin Luther had a dream

I thought Tookie dream was better,

Bunchy Carter had a plan, but they shot him for they let us,

Took that Ghetto Promise Land, it ain't no hope for the darker man,

The folks leave up from arm and hand,

Probably gone die, where's my man now?

Squeezing mattresses, 3 or 4, taking shit when we leave the store,

Ain't a shoulder to lean up on,

Chauffeur in the back, the police been called,

Same ol' gag, same ol' trigger, same ol' cake,

Brand new nigga, front page when you kill us,

Mothafucka, pay attention!

(Hook)

Yeah, my niggas built for war, my niggas built for war

They sending threats, we sending shots

They sending threats, we sending shots
