Throwin’ Salt
[Intro]
You remember
Tootie, you remember
(Mykel on the beat)
[Verse 1]
You remember how they did me up and jail
My people was living well, my bills, they gave me hell, look
These niggas changed, they swore they'd never tell
My right niggas went left, they threw salt on the snail, but
I prevailed, I ducked that fuckin' chair
On death row in a cell, pouring my heart through mail
Thеy laughed at me a lot, shittin' on all my fans who bragged on mе a lot, it was nasty love I got
I had to cry to God, hoping he'd hear my call for freedom
'Cause I'm all over the news, nigga
Mama said, "Boo we straight, we gon be fine"
Industry said I wouldn't shake back from doing this time
[Chorus]
Gotta throw salt
Here we go again
Got my name in they mouth like some bad ass bitches
Here we go again
They tried to throw salt
Tried taking me out, with cold words, tried stressin' me out (Cold, cold words)
Stayed solid 'til the day I got out
Look at me now, still talking my talk
Man, they tryna throw salt
[Verse 2]
You gon' be dead 'fore you eighteen, nigga
This the shit the people said so I wouldn't chase dreams, nigga
They always talkin' negative and I take heed, nigga
Even took my face expressions, mane, and make meme's with 'em
Some say I'm lost, well if I'm lost why you ain't tryna find me?
Guess I need some fuckin' mirrors when you walk behind me
I lost a couple fake friends 'cause their heart was slimey
A teenager crossed by them, welcome to the 90's
Tried to shatter all my greatness, so they blame my violence
Tried to X me out the game but I won't go in silence
Guess they gon' try to salt my name cause they know I got it
Guess they gon' try to stop the plane when I'm flying private
Nobody album fuckin' with me, you trippin', nigga
Mine real, his different, it's no competition
I remember we was jumpin' fences
Now we choppin' game up with politicians, and these niggas
[Chorus]
Gotta throw salt
Here we go again
Got my name in they mouth like some bad ass bitches
Here we go again
They tried to throw salt
Tried taking me out, with cold words, tried stressin' me out (Cold, cold words)
Stayed solid 'til the day I got out
Look at me now, still talking my talk
Man, they tryna throw salt
[Outro]
They tryna throw salt on a nigga
I don't give a fuck what y'all say 'bout me, haha
I know you throwin' salt, nigga
I see you in the comments, I see ya
It's all good though
I already be expectin' the shit every time, you know what I'm sayin'?
Here we go again
Got my name in they mouth like some bad ass bitches
Mane, this shit too real
