Lyrics
He's on the ground half dead remembering what his granny said Boy get a job, too late he was a xanny head Man he bled and he shed tears all alone cause his man he fled While blood was leaking out him candy red He tried to rob a jewelry shop for some extra green, little did he know The armed guard was a ex-marine A bullet sliced through his spine made its exit clean He couldn't feel his legs, hе screamed Crawling on the floor cops at thе door, it didn't feel fair Twenty-year bid, sometimes he wish he was killed there Flashbacks haunting his mind, it's like he's still there Mentally at the crime scene, physically in a wheelchair He wanted to stack his money this tall, Chris Paul, pitfall, big balls Got him living in prison brick walls The moral to this sh*t y'all Gotta crawl before you walk or you'll walk then crawl That's jewelry I got sapphires I got rubies Shop's open all day I got jewelry I got jade all day I got diamonds A whole waterfall full of diamonds Careful if you break you buy one Live like a fool then you die one I got a whole waterfall full of diamonds Holla at me if you need diamonds Twenty years ago, still ain't forgot it We was sitting on that bench in the projects sipping a forty or [?] p Pa**ing 'round some neighborhood chronic Talking about bread complaining how we ain't got it My homie said, he tired of the same old sh*t, same old nicks Selling this dope we dead broke man this ain't no fix Got an idea but it ain't no flip A quick lick, jewelry shop a few blocks off Rodeo strip Been there before some old n***a at the door, easy score In and out like a four by four, I said for sure Gut saying hell no, pockets screaming hell yeah Later that night I found myself there Looking at rings and watches pretending to chop for a minute My homie backs out that Glock, we got the drop, 'bout to get it I hear some shots go pop, my homie drops and he's twitching Right about now I'm in shock, shoot at the guard while I'm dipping This old n***a shooting at me while I run up the block Like he's some special ops Them bullets sped my knot, sweating in my bed Thinking my homie dead, but he not They sat him down he lost the use of his legs and his crotch He held it down like a G though Surveillance wasn't taping that night They ain't know me yo, and son ain't give up his amigo And now I'm the biggest n***a in town but when he come home He gonna know, I ain't too big to push my n***a around (word) I got sapphires, I got rubies Shop's open all day, I got jewelry I got jade all day, I got diamonds A whole waterfall full of diamonds Careful if you break you buy one Live like a fool then you die one I got a whole waterfall full of diamonds Holla at me if you need diamonds
