lyrics

Chorus:
Smoke (Smoke)
Drink (Drink)
Drink, Fuck What the fuck did you think? (What the fuck did you think?)
Nigga smoke, drink, what the fuck did you think?
We wil' out we riot (riot)
Head gone we flyin' (flyin')
Devil on copilot
Nigga, we young rich & violent
(Repeat 2x)

Verse 1: (Deascent)

Fam placed in a cell (Placed in a cell)
'Cuz he ain't wanna tell (He ain't wanna tell)
Now I'm raising some hell 'cuz the place that I dwell is the same as hell/And the devil's next door and indeed he knocking/Fiends are copping D's are watching/We in need of options (Fuck that!, Man we need a profit!)/Cream in pocket See the logic/Its the same as Malcolm... by any means/When you're living in a nightmare it's hard to have dreams/But my jeans sag my obscene swag/Why middle America seem mad?/At the fact that the poor little black boys/Made a whole bunch of money off this rap noise/All this yapping in public 'bout trapping and fucking/Impacts my budget and the masses love it.

(Chorus)

Verse 2: (Brent)
We lurk in the streets (Lurk in the streets)
Been swerving police (Swerving Police)
Disturbing the peace 'cuz the peace and the quiet disturbing me/I don't give a damn 'bout the 10 Commandments/The man that made them left Brent abandoned/In the land where we can't pay rent/But a handgun might get held to your head at random/By the cops like "What you doin' with ya skateboard out this late,boy? You gon' pay for it!/You got the right to remained whored out to the state!"/How you think they make sure that you stay poor?/Damn I'm K Mart's of the skate park/With a spray can tryna make cave art/Self-made man, cradle to the graveyard/Hail Mary Jane got the hook up down on Saint Mark's/
