How Bout Now lyrics

[Verse]
I - I remember when I had that one bedroom down in B'more (right off York Road)
She was stressed out not tryna f*ck tellin me she need more (tss)
Then she had that abortion (damn)
We was up and down like a seesaw (word)
Had hoop dreams then but I still put the pen to the pad in my free time (I'm writin)
You could tell her that I rap she would look at me and laugh guess she couldn't picture me signed (hah)
Moved back to New York all the n*ggas that I thought was down with me changed up on me (f*ck em)
Reunited with my day 1 n*ggas got a deal bout to get my change up homie (yea)
I would never change up tryna pull a Range up they can never feel my pain homie (never)
Tryna call from the jail little brother needed bail guess that's part of the game homie
5 mixtapes dropped DJ's at the top still say they never heard of me
Now I say my name 1 time now these n*ggas actin like they all so concerned with me (hah)
n*ggas never used to wanna pass the blunt now they going to buy weed just to burn with me (I'm good)
Gettin money I was dead broke wouldn't put me on same n*ggas tryna earn with me (nah)
Couldn't pay to go record had to pay to go to court oh Lord n*gga how bout now (bout now)
My buzz up right now (right now)
Couple racks in the truck right now (right now)
That I ain't even touchin like that I was hustlin like that they spit comfortable rap not me (not me)
Sound like a n*gga starvin (starvin)
(?) I want to get a condo (wanna get a condo)
50 n*ggas with me mobbin (n*ggas with me mobbin)
All by myself with a model (myself with a model)
Then my birthday passed, Freaky got killed like a couple weeks later (damn)
Bully was down, Charlie was down, my stress was so major
Started poppin them xannies 2 at a time with codeine (leanin)
Percocet’s 2 if I had em (2) put me on a hell of a lean (I'm gone)
Had to go Philly just to put my cousin in the ground that sh*t crazy (that sh*t crazy)
Starin at his face then my tears start to fall that's when sh*t got hazy (forgot)
D Jones outside in the ride him and Tay so I jumped in the back seat
I can still taste them tears I hated that day them sh*ts was so nasty
But I got a angel right now (right now)
n*ggas think I'm famous right now (right now)
And for all of those thinkin my city fell off I can change it right now (change it right now)
I remember bein in the 'jects me and Chette no hot water
Ain't learn much in school I been movin through the world gettin live what the block taught us (Eastside)
Me and Leezy in the staircase
5 5 get a dutch go and get a dutch
I'm talkin so dead broke couldn't give a f*ck (not one)
That's when (?) pulled up truck tinted up (my n*gga)
Goin to the studio me bashin Chrome I'm like where that n*gga soul at
Backwoods no I roll that (roll up)
Anybody hatin on us can't control that
Then I did sway in the mornin
Shaun C, LV and my n*ggas (my n*ggas)
They gave me beat after beat (beat)
They really considered my vision (they see it)
Then I took a trip up to Yonkers (Y-O)
Thought I was dreamin or buggin
Style P got on my song Sheek showed me love while Jada was crushin
Haze, I'm around all my favourites
They told me I remind em of the old days
But I'm still on my block sh*t
Before I cross the street I look both ways
Uncle in the kitchen with a pigeon cookin up he would listen to the O’Jays
This before I had a beard this before I had tats I didn't even know bout no gangs
Only crip I knew was Pooch Loc
When it came to have a new coat
Same North Face from last year
The worst thing they could ever say is you broke
I jus want a lot of cash here
First class got me sayin I don't do coach
[Outro]
n*gga how bout now (sh*t changed)
n*gga how bout now
How bout now (couple years n*gga)
