Pops - Angel lyrics

[Verse 1] As a youngin' fake thuggin', I thought I knew it all Run through your crib and take something, my boys run through it all Thought I was trappin', half a O I was baggin' I'm braggin' like I got work But that's cause I could never move it off Sober conversations, we plottin' on getting riches To get some .40s as we plottin' on getting b**hes Swear that sh** was ridiculous All that time that was wasted just nonchelant and complacent Still in my mind I could make it Drunk in the gas station line to get my nikki fix Cause when I ain't got no ciggs I be thrown' hissy fits Dude in front of me pull a stack out, my eyes light up Cause I knew that that sh** would be mine before the night up Long story short the feds caught me and locked me up Right after I hit the lick, 30 days it felt like a brick, uh All for tryin' to be something I weren't supposed to be But now I'm here I swear nature watching over me [Hook] (x2) Look up in the sky, world is yours, pick your prize And if they told you different, do not listen to them lies We gotta face the lows to appreciate the highs Open up your eyes, recognise we are here to rise [Verse 2] Stuck in my city, still workin', I should be touring Supposed to be road to riches, I keep detouring May 22nd, my bday, I'm 24 now Thought music was my path, but I'm not even sure now Comparing myself to everyone that ain't get it But if you hearing this record, guess that mean I ain't quit it I finally said "f** the critics", I do this sh** by myself Without music I die, I literally do this sh** for my health Then ask for whoever that helped us, with you that I split the rough A lotta sh** on my plate, but f** it at least I'm eatin' I swear to give you my heart as long as that sh** is beatin' I swear that I'm never leavin', long as you give me no reason And f** a royalty cause loyalty what mean the most to me I say it openly, most of you people just a ghost to me Cause I've been left for dead by those supposed to be close to me But I'm still here, I swear I got an angel watching over me [Hook] (x2)
