my nigga dead (interlude)

Singer: dave east

fuck you looking at

nigga?

i'm still tryna find out

nigga

hold on

hold on

hold on

wait

oh we got a problem here?

we got a problem here?

holiday season

i got the drop uptown

they said they robbing niggas

you want your block

you can't hustle until you find them niggas

ignorant adolescence like in a father figure

life been kind of rough

couldn't find him smiling in all his pictures

i can teach you how to drive

sit and park it with ya

we fought before we was hitting

shit

really off the liquor

let me tell you about my man

he made his maths double

like biggie song

they shot his daughter in the calf muscle

a hundred percent

wasn't the type to half-hustle

might die from greed

it's guaranteed if a bag touch you

he was connected in milwaukee

came back to harlem

five fifty

the same colour

his coffin

packages was duct-taped

the whip had new car scent

paranoid he circled the block before he parked it

he usually would stop at the bodega 'fore he talked shit

a fiend peeped us early and told us

she saw a brick

comfortable

we slid through in a grey lacoste fit

glock.40 on him

he been hearing niggas talk shit

funny stares and whispers like every time he walk in

it's hard to see if sharks in the water

don't see no shark fin

niggas sit crowded at the lobby

he played the park bench

soon a nigga ratted

10 years ago

they ain't talk since

homie tried to speak and he ignored him

they really don't be beefing

niggas be dying over boredom

he recognised another kid that usually shop on fordham

somethin' with this son

if he was dolo

he'd have called him

shawty really come from nothing

survival's exhausting

two options

go to court or get low in a coffin

body language different

he feeling like niggas talking

keep praying to jesus

he feeling like niggas crossed him

hard to find his homies

he feeling like niggas lost him

connect said he would front him a brick

but it would cost him

his connections from the mid-west just had him flossing

flexed on the plug

said he'd had enough

he could toss town

spanish nigga with him helped understand when they talking

connect kept telling jokes

he said he was kevin hart's friend

homie ain't come here for comedy show

catch a homie

get low

not even you mommy could now

no business

this shit was personal

he in the trap with a brick

thinking 'bout if he spit

what would he get for a verse or two

he'd invite some close friends

ride by in a hearse or two

his life a movie

death just fucked it up like commercials do

he told his stupid nigga

i could work with you

kill a n nigga that you got love for

that shit hurt to do

fuck the emotions

we got work to move

still got his gun and his mans

he in a certain mood

when he was starving

you get murked for food

niggas caught him picking up his daughter

putting work at school

they was aiming at his head and hit her in the leg

wasn't no money

it was just over some shit he said

the last time we spoke he said he'd try and get some bread

i got off of tour

came home

found out my nigga dead

the shit we go through

you know

can't make this shit up

put the gun away

nigga

can we have one night with no fighting and nobody get shot?

shut up bitch
