Pinch Me by G3 Lyrics
[Chorus]
[Verse 1]
Lil nigga, I know the streets raised you bitter
Broker than ya neighbors still yo Sega came up missing
Moms & pops split when you were too young to remember
Broken from the jump, all you saw was faded pictures
Maybe that’s the reason why yo feelings tend to differ
Moved around a lot so you no stranger to the distance
Had a stepmother who would beat you over dishes
Dad was always gone so yo home felt like a prison
And you got trust issues, middle child
You been denied, love that you deserve
Can’t understand how you feel inside
You can’t find the words so you minimize
But never cry
And that was when you learned how to tell a lie
Learned how bury, keep that shit inside
Learned how to forgive and push that shit aside
Learned how to smile when it’s pain
In yo chest and shit a mess but you would never be the same
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Young gunna, I know the world made you suffer
You don’t know why God chose to make yo momma struggle
Try to stay outta trouble but you get called by the hustle
But you can’t stand that look her eyes when they come and cuff you
Luckily you got rid of that pistol when they rushed you
You was 15 I guarantee the system would’ve crushed you
Just think about yo family nigga you know they love you
And you ain’t held a gun since then
I’m proud of you But you still in pain
You thought just being better things would change?
You pray at night but then you wake up and it’s still the same
You want someone to see the hurt but damn you hide it well
How long until you boil over?
Only time will tell
I wish you knew you was a king at heart
I wish that I could say one day that there’s an easy part
I wish somebody understood what you been going through
I wish you knew that ain’t nobody here as strong as you, now tell me
[Chorus]
[Break]
[Verse 3]
Grown man, I know they world dealt you a bold hand
But starting over don’t mean it’s over
That chip on yo shoulder turned to a Boulder didn’t it?
Cuz you got down on yo luck
Start losing touch with niggas
Man fuck them niggas
All them late nights
Working hard til daylight
You ate them Ls and still ain’t fail
Thats what winning taste like
They called yo phone when Nas pulled you up there on that stage right?
So why acting like they don’t see you
My nigga they wanna be you
And I get it you was in yo feelings
This ain’t what you pictured
But my nigga, this is not the gram
This is how you living
Through the pain and them moments when you felt like you should give up
But you didn’t and I’m proud of you nigga
Just remember You a king
You deserve the cream
Everything that gleams
Everything that shines
Everything that’s mine
Cuz you and I, hand to God
Are 1 and the same
[Chorus]
