"Ballad Of Westside Scoop" lyrics
I seen this look in your eyes before
Back before you really knew what it was
Back before dreaming and wishing on stars
Back when the room used to fill up with love
Back before niggas had all of these scars
When I could just reach out and gave you a hug
Back before life was just really that simple
I wish I could go back the way that it was
I seen this look in your eyes before
Back before shit even came with a cost
Back before niggas let go of their pride
R.I.P to the people I lost
I really been grieving shit all of my life
But I am the product of battles I fought
I was naive about changing the world
So many things that I never been taught
I seen this look in your eyes before
You never gave a fuck 'bout what they said
They wasn't shooting with us in the gym
I fly the flag like a motherfucking pledge
Who gives a fuck about who at the top?
I don't do this shit for no motherfucking cred
How many times I gon' tell you I'm me
Don't let this Internet get to your head
I seen this look in your eyes before
The first time I stayed in the face of the envy
The first time it woke me up out of my sleep
First time I stayed in the face of the enemy
First time I let go and gave it to God
The first time I felt like I had an identity
First time I felt like they got me fucked up
The first time I felt the effects of concealing me
I was so stubborn, at first, with anxiety
Life had me feeling like I couldn't do it
But I got the gift that the Lord has provided me
Mama said I'd be a fool to not use it
I'll bring the table, it ain't no denying it
I been that nigga and don't have to prove it
I seen this look in your eyes before
So pick up the pen and get back to the music
I seen this look in your eyes before
Back before you really knew what it was
Back before dreaming and wishing on stars
Back when the room used to fill up with love
Back before niggas had all of these scars
When I could just reach out and gave you a hug
Back before life was just really that simple
I wish I could go back the way that it was
- Yo, Lu, what's good my boy, it's , just tappin' in, man
I know you over there working on a masterpiece
But I done hit you about five, six times, but look, hah
You hardened again, only rapper I know that keeps a phone never on charge
So I made that [?] in case, heh
[?], hit me when you get the chance, man
-Yurr, what up nigga
Just calling to check in with you bro, I ain't heard of you in a minute
Hope you doing good, I know you busy as fuck, man, in the studio
Hopefully everything coming together the way you want
Just wanted to check in with you, [?] I had going on
Shit, me and the girls boutta go to Freedom Park
If you can meet us out there, man
Just hit me whenever you get some free time, dog
-Yurr, I need you to take a minute for your [?], bruh
Ever since you started growing your hair and your braid start at the back of your neck
And you started doing hooka
Niggas can't get a hold of you
I understand you at peace, right now
But we got things to do
Call me when you get this, peace
Back before you really knew what it was
Back before dreaming and wishing on stars
Back when the room used to fill up with love
Back before niggas had all of these scars
When I could just reach out and gave you a hug
Back before life was just really that simple
I wish I could go back the way that it was
I seen this look in your eyes before
Back before shit even came with a cost
Back before niggas let go of their pride
R.I.P to the people I lost
I really been grieving shit all of my life
But I am the product of battles I fought
