Jumpin’ Off/Victory Lap
[Part I: "Jumpin' Off"]
[Intro]
Today guys we're gonna be jumping off the porch and–
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
[Verse 1]
God bless
A kid that went from progress reports to 211's in progress
From arcades with the gold tokens (Gold tokens)
To gold grills with the fronts open, blunt smokin'
From Caprisuns to forty ounces (Forty ounces)
Recess, we played outside 'till we heard the whistle
Single file lines at the water fountains (Water fountains)
We used to tote, cap guns, and now it's dirty pistols
See me, I rather murder instruments
The irony, niggas that couldn't read or write be the ones servin' sentences
Jump off the porch, the death of young innocence is imminent (Imminent)
And don't none of us benefit off the ignorance (The ignorance)
A young nigga role model sold dope
So we ignore the wise words from the old folks
[Chorus]
Don't walk 'fore you crawl, don't shit where you sleep
What else?
Ain't no turnin' back, better think 'fore you leap, nigga! (Nigga)
Jumped off the porch, it's me and my niggas (Me and my niggas)
Of course, I travelled the course with my niggas (Me and my niggas)
We used to want whips and chains when we got bigger
Now the only thing on my brain is freein' my niggas (My niggas)
And mama said bring yo' ass back home when you see them streetlights (Streetlights)
Uh, this shit get deep, before you leap better think twice
[Verse 2]
Stray society, shh! I say it quietly
Lil' niggas marchin' with drums, parading violently
Down to let couple rounds off, the sirens sound off
Nobody snitch, you get away imitatin' a groundhog
Lay low until the twelve stop lurking, my city's a circus
A wonderland for the street consumer, there's plenty to purchase
Hard, soft, weed, codeine, the percies, the xannies
Daddy gone, mama out clubbin', we raised by our grannies
Fist fights, we used to shoot them once when we was lil'
Them days is dead and gone, now niggas shootin' to kill
Don't pull it out unless you gon' do it for real
Ayy, so you really wanna jump in that field?
Where niggas rob, steal, deal, kill, all about they dollar bill
No chill, tell me how you fell, tell me how you feel
[Chorus]
Don't walk 'fore you crawl, don't shit where you sleep
What else?
Ain't no turnin' back, better think 'fore you leap, nigga! (Nigga)
Jumped off the porch, it's me and my niggas (Me and my niggas)
Of course, I travelled the course with my niggas (Me and my niggas)
We used to want whips and chains when we got bigger
Now the only thing on my brain is freein' my niggas (My niggas)
And mama said bring yo' ass back home when you see them streetlights (Streetlights)
Uh, this shit get deep, before you leap better think twice
[Part II: "Victory Lap"]
[Intro]
And look at this! What a victory lap!
Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah
[Chorus]
It's been real kickin' these raps, uh
My whole team should do a victory lap (Victory lap)
Won't nothing do but W's I can't afford a L ('Fford a L)
Wear my heart on my sleeves, yeah I sport it well (Sport it well)
And this is only chapter three, I got more to tell (More to tell)
[Bridge]
Jumpin' off the porch with this one
Jumpin' off the porch with this one
Jumpin' off the porch with this one
Jumpin' off the porch with this one
Jumpin' off the porch with this one
[Verse 1]
Mama tried to give me assistance, I ain't listen
Bad boys like Pistons, end up stuck in the system
On a mission to feed your hip-hop addiction
Sonny Liston, I throw jabs with the vocab, and I ain't missin'
Put my disc on, and get your diss on
'Cause you're pissed off that you got pissed on
Obi Wan in the rap form
TU! AHYES gave me the platform, so get a drum or some'
Clap for 'em, mhm, clap for 'em
Lot of niggas nappin', I threw together these tracks for 'em
'Bout to heat the city up, I'm just out getting back warm, uh
It's been real kickin' these raps for 'em
So 'till next time here's a victory lap for 'em
[Chorus]
It's been real kickin' these raps, uh
My whole team should do a victory lap (Victory lap)
Won't nothing do but W's I can't afford a L ('Fford a L)
Wear my heart on my sleeves, yeah I sport it well (Sport it well)
And this is only chapter three, I got more to tell (More to tell)
