Born By The River

(album: Boonk Gang - 2018)

By the river
By the river
Boosie Badazz
In a little tent
I was born by the river
True story
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I been running ever since
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I been running ever since
I was born

By the river, in a place full of wrong
Poverty stricken living is a place I call home
Running from the bird and the pen, broken loss
Small house, low on cover so me and my brother fought
We would fight all the time, first gunshots was scared
We would hit the floor
Got used to 'em, now them gunshots would turn to jokes
Remember eighty-eight, when we first saw snow
Grew up hoping to travel so we could see that once more
(I was born), with a chip on my shoulder, and an attitude
With a clip in my holster living in Baton Rouge
Where haters get duct-taped, friends testify
If you make it to see 25 you're satisfied, oh lord

Born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I been running ever since
I was born by the river
True story
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I been running ever since
I was born

House packed with the fam but we didn't notice
Hope they leave the house tonight, who? the cockroaches
Mama stressing so it's hard to tell her stop smoking
Cousins Glock toting, man, daddy rock smoking
Came up, a lot of people changed up
World of the fam 'cause the bands ain't changed us
We was born with a coke spoon, that silver shit was dreams to us
Grew up serving my uncles 'cause that's what green do
Puff the loud, close my eyes, and dream
From a family full of players, hustlers, felons, and fiends, man
Coming up, I watched plenty get they money long
Same niggas start lacing, now they money gone

Born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I was born by the river
I been running ever since
I was born by the river
Miss Muley turkey wing
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
Boosie Badazz
I been running ever since
I was

Born by the river
I was born by the river
And my mama cried when my daddy died, by the river
Where you got your first piece of pussy at? by the river
I was born by the river
I was born by the river
And my mama cried when my daddy died, by the river
When I was young my whole family stayed by the river
I was born in a hurry, I was born in a hurry
'Cause my mama had to be at work by 8:30
In a hurry, doctor hurry, by the river

Born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I been running ever since
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I been running ever since
I was born

Born, in a hurry
