Trials & Tribulations

by Layton Greene

on Trials & Tribulations (2019)

[Verse 1]
Imagine being kicked out and you can't go nowhere
And you only got enough for a few days in the hotel
Nobody won't front you nothin' so you can't even make a dope sale
Next thing you know, a check f*ck 'round and come through out of nowhere
Pocket knife in middle school, y'all gon' jump who?
I'm twenty-two in the bushes, y'all gon' slump who?
You don't say excuse me, I'ma swing, you just gon' bump who?
I cheat on her and dump her first, she gon' dump who?
I kept it real from the start, boy I never folded
My music mean a lot, people tell me that I'm chosen
We ain't have money but we had cars, ridin' around rollin'
(But if you was broke how you get a car?)
sh*t what you think? we stole it
I know a n*gga right now doing life up the road
He would've had lesser time, he chose not to told
That's how we raised, to stick to the code
I couldn't say he'll whack his mama, that boy heart is cold
I was chillin' on the block at the bus stop
Them boys beat the block and started letting off shots
I started ducking, started running, plus I left the Glock
But Savage always had my back, he started buh-buh

[Chorus]
Mama said son slow down 'cause you fast paced
I can't wait, I need it now 'cause I'm too impatient
I was sleep but now lil Baby Soulja has awakened
I'm 'bout to welcome y'all to my trials and tribulations
Mama said son slow down 'cause you fast paced
I can't wait, I need it now 'cause I'm too impatient
I was sleep but now lil Baby Soulja has awakened
I'm 'bout to welcome y'all to my trials and tribulations

[Verse 2]
Imagine taking them crackers on a chase and getting hit
And the car damn near flipped and land in the ditch
Imagine being on child support for another n*gga's jit
And you stuck 'cause you signed the birth certificate
Imagine coming home to damn near everything gone
'Cause a b*tch done had the nerve to hit a lick at your home
Two days later you get a call sayin' your dawg gone
They charged my lil brother as an adult, he wasn't even grown
I seen some things that I can't say but it had me shook
Seen my daddy in that casket, I ain't wanna look
My family lied on my mama, I'm like what the f*ck?
DCL came to the hive, they tried to get us took
The judge put a warrant out on me 'cause I was not seen
Probation violated, say my p*ss not clean
My cousin was playing with that pistol, almost shot me
I was sleeping, I woke up to the SWAT team

[Chorus]
Mama said son slow down 'cause you fast paced
I can't wait, I need it now 'cause I'm too impatient
I was sleep but now lil Baby Soulja has awakened
I'm 'bout to welcome y'all to my trials and tribulations
Mama said son slow down 'cause you fast paced
I can't wait, I need it now 'cause I'm too impatient
I was sleep but now lil Baby Soulja has awakened
I'm 'bout to welcome y'all to my trials and tribulations
