Play Clothes

I been eatin hello fresh
But today I want something off a grandma shelf
Yeah my mama make dressing
And my aunties help
My lil cousins runnin round with they bad self
When I zig right they zag left
That's a dance that we used to do
Who out here can hoolah hoop
Everybody broke as fuck but erbody beautiful
You ain't gotta do a whole lot just stay true to you
Fishscales how you do
You appear volatile
Hope you find solace
I am on a natural high
But feeling like the molly do
100 on a prostitute
But you ain't gotta do a whole lot if it's not for you

Hopscotch, Jump rope, drinking out the water hose
Dirt stains ripped jeans, mamma called em play clothes
Tag... if you say so, but never really stayed froze
Time flies growing old, imagine how the day goes

Hopscotch, Jump rope, drinking out the water hose

Tag... if you say so, but never really stayed froze
Time flies growing old, imagine how the day goes

I grew up watching Scooby Doo back when I's in Middle School...
Life changed after "New Jack" plus the movie "Juice"...
After that I flew the coup headed down to Bowling Green
Learned a thang or two about myself before I shoulder leaned...
Gotta learn the game if you ever wanna coach the team...
Iceberg Skinny keep venom like the Cobra King...
Read the room I'm noticing My point of view is rarely seen...
Slow grinds over quick licks nothing stays the same...
Never hate the player I'd suggest you blame the game...
It ain't a thang if you don't want it stay away from me...
Most of ya'll make believe
Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood lookin' ass niccas I would never aim to please...

Hopscotch, Jump rope, drinking out the water hose
Dirt stains ripped jeans, mamma called em play clothes

Decades ago I was baby bro, had the baby fro with the uniform pants...
"they was navy tho."
And every girl had a Jheri Curl or a Wave Nouveau, back in '84 way before we
had cable tho...

We was outside gettin live, used to play the whole day till the street lights
say you was ret-to-go
It wasn't no fun if the homies couldn't have none, wasn't no such thang as a
captain save-a-hoe

We was tryna stay afloat, listening to De La Soul. Graduated to UGK,
got a pocket full of stones.
N.W.A. laced head-to-toe in Raider clothes, drinking out the water hose,
now I shop at Trader Joe's.
