Yellow Eyes
I got in the G6, but now I want a Civic
It’s still my first car, but I feel like I’m winning
My bank account said, “Get whatever you want,
Pay it all off and put subs in the trunk”
That’s thanks to you all
The shop and the streams and the show got me up
I’ve got all this money, but no one to love
Though shit is all good, I spent three thousand bucks
On an iPhone, new equipment, and drugs
Text from my friend saying, “You got the stuff?”
“Yes girl, I just left from the plug’s
And when I pull up, you can hop in the front
I’ll give you first dibs if, this dick, you come suck”
She sent a text back, “You freaky as fuck”
I’m laughing, ecstatic, just turned 21
Two stacks for a bottle, that’s nuts
I’m tryna get drunk, it may not be enough
'Cause 21 years ago, who would have known
At 21, I would feel so old,
That I would never truly have a home,
And that there’s a demon after my soul?
With yellow eyes, but I only see green
Red eyes, I’m inhaling the steam
Sometimes I wish that I could have been warned
But eleven minutes to midnight, I was born
Brown eyes, like my father’s, they gleam
That didn’t stop him from deciding he’d leave
Me and mom in Mishawaka alone
She prayed for a man who was fit for the role
Three years later, met my dad, they were goals
Until she grew to hate his need for control
So momma bought a brand new house up the road
Around the time that I had first tried to smoke
I remember I was floating
I remember I was glowing
I remember laughing three minutes straight
Tunnel vision, losing focus
Sneaking bitches through the window
Told her walk in on her tip toes
Blowing smoke through the window
I see the fire through my window
Fast forward and I’m turning sixteen
In high school, Shades of Blue, we just sing
The only class where I felt like a king
That was the first time that I met a queen
She was a senior, they see she’s with me
We left the game 'cause I’m kissing her cheek
We parked the car, now we sparking the weed
In the middle of nowhere, fucked in the back seat
And I would do it, not saying it was cool
But started taking my one-hitter to school
Then met with my dude before Period 2
To snort Addy in the bathroom
Shit hurt my stomach like bad food
But turned my brain into a vacuum
Gave him some cash and a dap too
Then made my way back to the classroom
The queen I mentioned graduated and left
So we just fell out and it’s got me upset
The rest of my time in high school, I’m depressed
But thank God I got to see it end
My senior year, I met the devil herself
With blue eyes, in the waves, I would melt
Tried to love her, but I know she could tell
I was in love with someone else
Denied myself what I was destined
Then she went and fucked on her best friend
Had only myself to invest in
But if this is life, then I accept it
My rapping, singing, and production
Helped me meet some new friends I fuck with
And I’ve got the stuff, but they’re rushing
So I just pulled up to the function
