Lyrics What i came for Little Brother

What i came for


Yeah, vibe to this, DJ Flash, Little Brother
Shouts to the 919, 252, 336, 704
You know what it is, that's how it work

Yo, this been years in the makin'
And when I talk about them years
I'm talkin' 'bout the blood sweat and tears
From the routes I was takin'
Tryna avoid the dark cloud
Took a couple L's, never lyin' on the ground
Offer me a inch, I want the whole mile
Wouldn't think about the future
Tryna live for the now
My momma want a house still
And my brother need lawyers for appeal
No deal if the terms don't appeal
Turnin' to a new page
Kids don't read books
Ownin' a little data can be celebrated
Endurin' the test of time is a attribute
I put my rep on the line every time I design a new rhyme
Y'all sketches sound kinda cute
You drawin' other conclusions, your opinion moot
Rappin' here for the bag, I need a new suit

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
It's time to do work, tell 'em (Just gimme what I came for)
If you got it out the mud, you ain't scared of the dirt, tell 'em (Just gimme what I came for)
Where you from? Get you some, nigga (Just gimme what I came for)
Oh yeah, oh yeah (Tell the people what you here for)

Man, life is marvelous
Word to Paul Wall, I'm with all the shits
No matter how narrow the margin is
For the art of it, not the artifice
Gotta stay forthright
'Cause 2020 ain't shit without foresight
County boy, Wake, Durham, Guilford, and Forsyth
Where you can hear some Bill Withers under porch light
Settle down, find a nice girl and just chill wit' her
Stay low and build wit' her, like Fortnite
But while my city was fast asleep
Before the South was bumpin' Master P
My Ghetto Dope was Bizzie Boyz, Nyborn, and Mixmaster D
Who ever thought it would get passed to me
To write these songs, the fight goes on
The nights is long and regimented
So I can go on a run that's unprecedented
Them bars is comedy, king, nigga, you Eddie Griffin
Two pulls and a sip, now here's to better livin'

I saw a miracle tonight, it's got me feelin' new (Yessir, yessir)
Livin' inside of a dream
Jump into a car to drive, right down 85
Comin' home to you (One time)

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
It's time to do work, listen (Just gimme what I came for)
If you got it out the mud, you ain't scared of the dirt, tell 'em (Just gimme what I came for)
Where you from? Get you some, nigga (Just gimme what I came for)
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Tell the people what you here for
Tell the people what-, tell the people what you're here for, tell the people what-, tell the people what you're here for, tell the people what-, tell the people what you're here for

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
