War Baby

War Baby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m from the bottom of the bottom, check your sources, baby
I’m a war baby, but I can’t divorce the paper
I’m a hood nigga that turned rich so I got Dior’s latest
And you know I gotta stick to my roots, I still rock Jordans, baby
It was hell in the projects, I survived the storm
Got brothers in the sky, they die ‘fore they born
I know the worst conditions make a champion
Look at my ice froze like a mannequin
I’m underwater like I’m swimming and panicking
Body bags zipped up like a laminate
Only solution for the opps is to stay inside
How your niggas say they rock, but they don’t slide?

[Chorus]
‘Cause we was hopping out in broad day
Serving fiends in the hallway
Promethazine ’til the morning
Hope I don’t wake up tomorrow
We was the type of niggas that would rob the robbers
I’ma make the choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da (La-da, la-da)
The choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da
Survived in the trenches, I’m a war baby
I had to slide on the sliders that ain’t normal, baby

[Verse 2]
Like the mob ties in Houston we got rag ties
I pray the Lord forgive me the day that I got baptized
‘Cause I’ma clutch the sticky every time a car passing by
I don’t wanna be Ricky or another victim of homicide
‘Cause I know the soul never dies
I make the chrome-chrome fly
b**ch, I’m a wave, Roll Tide
Bullets at your face, bow tie
My persona done got her tongue tied
I was taught that a legend never dies
When it’s time gotta let the lead fly
‘Cause I’m a war-war-war baby
Post-traumatic stress I know the war changed me
Had to bend back but they could never break me had to slide

[Chorus]
We was hopping out in broad day
Serving fiends in the hallway
Promethazine ’til the morning
Hope I don’t wake up tomorrow
We was the type of niggas that would rob the robbers
I’ma make the choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da (La-da, la-da)
The choppa sing like la-di-da-da-da
Survived in the trenches I’m a war baby
I had to slide on the sliders that ain’t normal baby, yeah

[Outro]
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
