Battlefield

Lyrics for Battlefield

Uh-huh Yeah, uh-huh Uh-huh Yeah It's goin' down Uh-huh Yeah, uh-huh Yeah Uh-huh Yeah It's goin' down, let's go Daddy was a twin, whipped a Caddy and a Benz Mama was adopted, finished college in the pen' (right) Death before dishonor, we was taught as little shrimp (yeah) And I was only six when I lost the innocence When I grow up, oh, how I want to learn to roll a spliff (right) And not the kind that runs like my mind when it drifts (gone) Remember when you used to hit my line on a whim? I forward to VM, you go and sing a hymn (word) When a liver gets sick and there's nothing they can fix And your heart begins to thaw from years being frostbit (crazy) And the only thing you want is the one for forgiveness But ain't we all tryna figure shit we witness? The summer that we miss, but still gon' ride the whips Rims got my tires rubbin' like sunscreen on your bitch And it's dark as the eclipse and they got the vaccine But gon' make you wait for it, so go get your paper, kid You know I'll support you and there's nobody else for you Standin' in the middle of a battlefield I had to pick a side or be a victim of the tragedy of time, yeah Who knows? Maybe when it's all over, I can hand the torch over Standin' in the middle of a battlefield I had to pick a side or be a victim, yes, it happens all the time, yeah God, gave me the strength (what?) 'Cause now that I'm a man, my focus and interest (whoa) Is puttin' out these fires I started in '06 (what else?) Prayin' that the ghost of my past stay distant (what?) And knowin' that the cards in my hands is goldfish I'll call it quits when y'all get off the dick If we all can't ball then what's the point of it? (What?) Money gettin' long, I'm savin' up for the kids Always knew that I would be big as a clock, sister Who would ever think that we'd find a hole in the system? Remedy all the symptoms Got a long list of some things that I gotta get to But if I don't (what?), Just know it was all meant to (be) But we far from the endin' And I can't leave before the Dodger's win a pendant She got a weave that's strong enough for the grippin' But I can't see us goin' all nine endings (go long) Out of the park (fast ball, outta here) Told 'em from the start, we takin' no shorts They gon' remember if nothin' else that a nigga was long-winded And we live from the enterprise (yeah) Where you get signed or have to improvise (yeah) Got me a bag and then I realized Didn't need no cash to make me feel alive You know I'll support you and there's nobody else for you Standin' in the middle of a battlefield I had to pick a side or be a victim of the tragedy of time, yeah Who knows? Maybe when it's all over, I can hand the torch over Standin' in the middle of a battlefield I had to pick a side or be a victim, yes, it happens all the time, yeah
