Bongo By The Way

Close my eyes and write my Grammy speech while sittin' in a cell
All my dues prepaid, I guess I used those minutes well
County Sheriff was the landlord, I'm payin' rent in hell
The world seen my face across the newspapers, Emmit Till
Foe'nem had a 44 on 'em, we was on the road with Hov
He ain't register to vote or register to tote a pole
How I go from lowest of low to the top of the totem pole
Then fell from grace like Damien but ain't sold my soul
Twenty in the stadium, the tour was Australian
We gon buss her down if she let us, she Romanian
Now they play me in the club, the bouncer used to play me in
Doc', I been crazy, fuck it put me in the crazy bin

And I tried to tell you that I'm not gon' stop
I was down bad, still came out on top
I ran up a milli brought it back to the block
Give no fuck
My middle finger up 'til I drop, drop, drop, drop
Send it up
The city goin' nuts when I drop, drop, drop, drop
We done seen too much, we done seen too many

Court case allegations and affidavits and statements
Only left out the city to go for state visitation
If you get caught with a half you in a whole situation
They say they want me to drop, is it parole or probation?
Y'all know them charges was bogus, I need to talk to the POTUS
Ain't gotta give me my flowers, I'll take the top off the Lotus
Rich nigga in jail, I guess I'm locked and I'm loaded
No Drizzy and Breezy, I'm sendin' shots at opponents
And I'm back and I'm focused, and the team on my shoulders
Say that nigga, Joe Rogan, and I pull up in Phantom just left from Perillo Motors
And these niggas on notice, in my city I'm goated
In my city I'm—, uh

And I tried to tell you that I'm not gon' stop
I was down bad, still came out on top
I ran up a milli brought it back to the block
Give no fuck
My middle finger up 'til I drop, drop, drop, drop
Send it up
The city goin' nuts when I drop, drop, drop, drop
We done seen too much, we done seen too fuckin' much

And I'm not afraid to die tonight
To die tonight
Play this song in my memory
On my guitar 'til your fingers bleed
Celebrate the good, the bad, the moments of my life
All the moments of my life

Don't cry for me
Only laughter
Precious laughter
Joyful laughter

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
