Tiramisu

by Parallel

[Intro -chopped]
Started off in the hood
Started off in the hood
Started off in the
Started off
Started off in the hood

[Verse 1]
Started off in the hood i was broke with all my people
Land of the free but somehow i don't feel equal
'hard day's night' and I've been working just like The Beatles
Now my life is sweet like a slice of Tiramisu
Its only getting better like the 1st Godfather sequel
Live a sweet life Zach and Cody couldn't even see to
Money is a language gotta learn it or it will leave you
You can't understand it like i'm speaking in ancient Hebrew
Dream with a plan if you can just go and get it
Seen people start it off strong but they never finish
All of their excuses to me sounded so long-winded
Learn how to pimp a butterfly you should call Kendrick
Busted a couple juugs then we started a small business
Still not were i wanted but I promise i'm not quitting
At the rate i'm going at now I will make millions
Just enjoy the ride i spend my free time chillin'
Met a slim thicc Caribbean shes so pretty
Almost had a threesome with her once but we never did it
Driving on the freeway to this hotel in Bossier City
Cops pulled me over locked me up for an old ticket
He saw her waitin'
I knew that he was hatin'
I'm glad he didn't search the car or shoot me on the pavement
It have ended in a way worst situation
Rest in peace to all the other ones who didn't make it
Keep ya head up all the hustlers in prison cages
I got my health and my freedom so i'm not complaining
Popping champagne and prosecco like a celebration
Its a blessing that i haven't had multiple cases
They should call me lucky lefty
A duffel bag full of blessings
I really had shooters at me
You say it to sound edgy
Dealing with drama heavy
I couldn't ask you to help me
I had to do it myself
Learned juugin' not just finessing

[Intermission]
It's so many ways that you have to learn how
To evolve yourself when you don't come from much (so many ways)
And honestly no matter whats your background
Whether you're from the hood (hood)
Or from middle class (middle class)
Or upper class (rich)
Background (piece by piece grow)
We all have things
That we have to prove to ourselves first (everybody struggles)
And others second
Keep moving forward (you kno')

[Verse 2]
Out in Italy i'm somewhere 'laxin in Portofino
Passport Parallel I should go work for Nat Geo
Swing thru Monte Carlo shooting dice at the Sun Casino
Meeting Billionaires with super yachts makes you drop your ego
I see thru the door but your peeking thru just the keyhole
Only moving grams little hustler that's not a kilo
Green in the back the names of Seth and Cee lo
Came from kings but this nation tells me i'm just a negro
Want a hero, nah you need a role model
The stars you idolize can even deal with their own problems
Shout 'em out on Twitter every week but they won't follow
So much dip on your chip til its looks like a whole nacho
Every team ain't getting money some are just in denial
Just a few teams like the playoffs and league finals
I can tell ya fake from the words in your own bio
Sold one ounce now you're thinking you're El Chapo
Drama and the issues in my past made me feel destroyed
Had to psychoanalyze myself like i'm Sigmund Freud
I'm not the same person you met when we were little boys
I leveled up more than once but i keep the same heart
Collab with myself producer engineer and an artist
Give birth to a beat, then i bury it in a coffin
Elroi Jetson Parallel i don't know whose hardest
Great combination like Kim Jones and Daniel Arsham
Dior to the floor clear boots size 45
Catch me rolling dolo i don't hang with that many guys
You hustle on the street one day you need to digitize
Started how i could now my whole teams Organized
Dior to the floor clear boots size 45
Catch me rolling dolo i don't hang with that many guys
You hustle on the street one day you need to digitize
Started how i could now my whole teams Organized
(Thank You)
