Joey Bada$$ x Chuck Strangers - 80 Blocks
New music from Joey Bada$$ "80 Blocks"
Lyrics
[Intro: ?]
I mean they call him "Crazy Joe" he goes off
Uhh but he's the type of guy you can go to and talk to, you know?
Uhh Joey [?]
Joey, he'd go out there and talk to him, then suddenly, Joe will go crazy, you know?
[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]
Hold up
What's life like now?
Shots of the expresso
Getting star bucks been the basic manifesto
I'm up early morning, breaking fast through the thresholds (uh-huh)
They tell I'ma wear my self out, but that's the dress code (swag)
Unlock the swag and nigga let's go
[?]
One hundred thirty on the dash that's if my nigga Lex drove
Keep the heat, the stash, [?]
Usually we positive, just tryna stay blessed though
I would rather us be safe, never know what to expect though
In the streets, we livin' in, niggas [?]
[?] inside of this, kept hitting this hideous (uh)
And that's ugly truth, I'm speaking from my troubled youth
To whom I try to give a mental boost when I'm in the booth
Been through the struggle, made it out, I'm the living proof
I've suffered pain like I'm pulling from my wisdom tooth (nigga)
[Interlude]
"We're still surviving, you know we took our bruises and we came out. We survived, we here, we got this, which I think is out of sight"
[Verse 2: Chuck Strangers]
First me and [?] break up
Now every day I wake up, with more bullshit as I arrive to the pulpit
Pro Era apostle (preach)
Nigga droppin' gospels
Chucky be a reverend, Psalm 47
God is the king of all on earth, but after him know that the Era is first (know that)
Know it's all about knowing your worth
Thank Christ for saving my life today
Know I have the right of way
I'm blessed to see a brighter day (blessed)
Keep me away from ruthless
You can teach a man a lesson, but don't make him feel stupid
Put me on, don't put me down, my g
We all out here just tryna be
Fine lines between egos and insecurities
You ain't less of a man if you don't squeeze (if you don't squeeze, don't squeeze)
You not necessarily a man if you do
Chalk it up to human nature, cause it's just what men do (it's just what men do)
Self-destruct with no fucks
All of to give up
I'm Chuck, Strangers
[Outro]
"And like I see a whole new future opening up for me and like I really don't want to do all the things I've done over the years before. I really don't want to do them again. But, like if I do them, like in the past, I don't go around bragging "I done this, I done that." To myself so nobody knows about it. And when nobody knows, word don't get out and you don't get busted"
