Absent

OTCC
You know I just getin here, I just (ay, Tony)
I just go off the top of my head, I just let this shit come to me

Ay, I got a story about a young nigga, made it to the top, uh
In school, he was absent, full attendance on the block, ay
Back then he was only worried 'bout playin' ball, fuckin' thots, uh
Way before he started hittin' stains, way before his friends got shot
Heart turned cold and he been smokin' weed, tryna get him some money
'Cause he gettin' older (gettin' older)
And he ain't tryna keep livin' off mommy pockets, gotta go get his own
Still wit' the same niggas 'cause he know his brothers ain't ever gon' fold
They was just up at the bottom (up at the bottom)
Takin' and flippin' them Os (yeah)
Poppin' them Bs on the road
Plottin' on gettin' some dough
They always knew it would happen (yeah)
And they got mob ties in they hood
So, dumb nigga, don't make it happen (don't make it happen)
They goin' anywhere for the jugg
Them young niggas out there in traffic (hey)

Age seventeen, young nigga spent all his bread on the studio
And he still move with the right team (count money)
And his big brother been gettin' the money
So he always kept him in some nice things (nice things)
Keep havin' dreams of diamonds and cash
He wake up be tryna be icy (wake up be tryna be icy)
Keep havin' dreams of bitches in jets, he wake up and he tryna sight-see
And he got that call, hop on the flight right away when it's money involved
Put the gang on the map and now it's time to ball (it's time to ball)
Twenty deep in LA and it's feelin' like home (it's feelin' like home)
Fast forward, ay
Money comin', now his problems get solved
He ain't happy 'til he get him some Ms
And he don't like when niggas tryna get involved
Ay, and he hurtin' 'cause his brothers is gone
Sendin' money to his brothers in jail
He don't know when some of his brothers come home, ay (he gon' work)
But he love the game, so he can't leave it alone (leave it alone)
Fuckin' bitches, he won't leave 'em alone
Foot on they neck, steppin' up to the throne

Rewind (rewind), back to the 2013 times
We lost Block and the streets cried (yeah), lost Block and the hood died (hood died)
Shit make you turn cold, that shit make a savage from a good guy
Keep a stick like a tree climb (grrah), got the 30s buzzin' like beehives (ay, ay)
Can't remember the last time I cried, I'd just rather go boot up (rather go be high)
And I used to think I got time and then Nico died too young (Nico World)
But I'm still livin' through them (yeah), couple baddies, I got two of 'em (baddie)
And we ballin' like the Crew League and the gang be gettin' the crew love (ay)
Youngin' was out in the park late nights
Playin' ball and them they start shootin' things (grrah, grrah)
Brodie said that he wit' me for life
And I told my brother that's a boomerang (gang, gang, gang)
I been busy workin', I been doin' things, I can't sit around waitin' for help (nah)
I took too many losses for others, now I gotta go win for myself (Hood Fave)
I know I'm a champ, they ain't give me the belt
If I was the ref', I could be givin' out all techs (all techs)
Switch on the fam, that's far-fetched
Swear the money got taller than Garnet (Garnet)
Ayy, since fifteen I've been ballin', Vince Carter
Hood Fave, money blue like the- (Hood Fave)
Plugged in like I'm still in the Charger (hey)
It's crazy how the things changed
Best friends turn to enemies (enemies)
Real love turn to memories (damn)
But that money stay the same (facts)
Keep the love, I just want my respect (yeah)
I'm stil tryna get bro out the 'jects (yeah)
Mommy good, she ain't gotta be stressed (mama love)
