Joey Fatts – Emeritus lyrics

[Verse 1]
Smoking to help with this paranoia
Plotting hard, shit, I gotta get this bread
So we on the block, niggas grinding 'round the clock
‘Cause I ain't got a fucking place to lay my head
I got a couple ounces, tryin' to stay up out the feds
I got a couple foes that would love to see me dead so I stash chrome
And that bitch ready to blow like a saxophone
Until you leave them sacks alone I'm here to ransack your home
I want it all, nice jewelry and exotic cars
Shit, I pray to God but till that come, I'm moving hard
Always plot and scheme ‘cause we got dreams of living large
Never play ball but I'm the hood shooting guard
Prison calls from my niggas upstate
Screaming, "Fuck the DEA," I hope to see y'all one day
Yeah we straight, niggas still trapping on the one way
With the seven, turn a heated nigga to a cold case

[Hook]
Should be in school, instead we on the block
Should wanna be a lawyer but instead we want a drop
Can't get a nine to five, so we slinging rocks
A couple ounces and a Glock and my niggas is all I got
Should be in school, instead we on the block
Should wanna be a lawyer but instead we want a drop
Can't get a nine to five, so we slinging rocks
A couple ounces and a Glock and my niggas is all I got


[Verse 2]
Time is money, nigga, so pay attention
Certified in these streets, you niggas paid admission
Youngins chopping rocks before they learn to write a sentence
I can't complain, I'm gettin' change and this the life I'm given
I be chillin', sippin', with one to five bitches
Now I'm really pitchin', leave that to my side women
A fo' fo' on vogues so now a nigga tippin'
187 with the paper, tryin' to make a killin'
They tell me I'm the next big thing
I'm just excited that I get to think with big things
Is it Versace or the mink under Cuban links?
Bitches fucking with me don't even get to greet
Stand up guy, nigga, take a seat
Before these shells release and put holes in your fleece
Gangsta, like Chucks and dickies with a crease
All my niggas in the streets, my nigga, to say the least, what's up?

[Hook]
Should be in school, instead we on the block
Should wanna be a lawyer but instead we want a drop
Can't get a nine to five, so we slinging rocks
A couple ounces and a Glock and my niggas is all I got
Should be in school, instead we on the block
Should wanna be a lawyer but instead we want a drop
Can't get a nine to five, so we slinging rocks
A couple ounces and a Glock and my niggas is all I got
