Black Rock Hey what's for breakfast? Same as yesterday Oh that's right cheeseburger and a 40 ounce Hey, what's for dinner? Nothing nigga But last night I had dreams of a porterhouse Ay yo for real I feel like Cattle in a slaughterhouse But fuck that grow another here's a quarter ounce It ain't no hydro, but it gets you high though Them niggas look like casper what the fuck do I know At the end of this tunnel, it's red and blue lies Once you pay the price you can never do right One thing I know all I did is wrong Maybe there ain't nowhere I belong The only thing in front of me is a bullet in the head They hoping one day that they find me dead Until then I make a place in this world For me and my baby girl Got the dead drop way until the A.M Mumbo Jumbo niggas onomatopoeian Call it how I see them ain't no rhyme or reason I'm on some different bullshit everyday just like per diem I damn with animal anguish So love no bitch die richer than language Guilty of sin depending on the reeds shaking in the wind Just a question not an answer out here depending on its end At the end of this tunnel, it's red and blue lies Once you pay the price you can never do right One thing I know all I did is wrong Maybe there ain't nowhere I belong The only thing in front of me is a bullet in the head They hoping one day that they find me dead Until then I make a place in this world For me and my baby girl
