Peridots by T-R-E-Y Lyrics
[Verse 1: T-R-E-Y]
Picture this setting
The sun is settin'
Church is over
How them girls be dressin'?
Lookin' like dolls
Fake bein' with God
But they're so backwards
Those bitches are dog
Hungry for meat
So they hungry for me
Kinda like my haters
Pour'm some Hennessy
End of the scene
Get what I'm sayin'?
No? Well
Let me explain then
Your girl's fake
She's a fraud
Act holy in church
A promiscuous braud
Straps on her bra
Hit the floor
Soon as she steps
Through the preacher's door
They get it on
To their favourite song
First lady's gone
And time goes on
This shit's so wrong
But it feels so right
More alcohol
Just an average night
Reality’s set in
Don’t believe in heaven
If god was real
Would he have have given
Me another chance?
That’s a funny question
I used to pray
Nothing happened
Screw the tears
Gave into peers
Didn’t ignore the ‘pagne
Ain’t been right in years
I’ve experienced loss
My mind is lost
Fuck that shit
Weed; how much does it cost?
Take my dreams away
Along with the weight
Make the sun rise
Start a new day
Bienvenue chez moi
Tu as fait bon voyage?
This is my house
But I don’t own a garage
‘Cause I’m not a star
So I don’t own that car
Or even pretend I get asked
“You know who you are?”
(pause)
Alright, I gained my composure
I’m now the composer
Of this symphony
Throw me no roses
Just some rosé
And some cogna'
This was an announcement
Had something to say
Took the stage like ‘Ye
Genius, yeah, it’s Trey
Stole the show Swift
But you still think I’m playin’
Don’t compare me to Drake
We ain’t the same
Yeah, it’s an honour
But me is who I stay
Don’t believe in God
But I still prey
More like a predator
Not religiously
Contradictory
Or could it be
That you can’t understand
Me lyrically
Blood could be shed
Nigga could be dead
Bullet in brain
Could just see red
My heart did bleed
But that shit keep beatin’
Shades cover shot eyes
Gotta Eazy Ease in
My new life with reason
This must be a season
Spring will come
Hope I forget her leavin’
Me for ‘nother dude
But he’s pretty cool
Just that I fucked up
Didn’t play by the rules
Can’t change the game
But shit ain’t the same
To turn back time
I’d trade my future fame
Got these broken frames
Faces without names
I’m really missin’
You sayin’ those things
That made me smile
Fuck walkin’ for miles
Make it forever
Forever takes a while
But while I walk that path
I’ll respect your relations
I know our ship sank
But now you have the navy
Caused you enough tears
To keep up y’all’s boat
But while he has your heart
Hold him so it don’t float
Off and on again
Repitition
We fought so much
It was a competition
But we weren’t receptive
To what the other would say
Never had peace
For one fucking day
But I understand
Why I’m not your man
Why you’re with him
Why you don’t want me to stand
In the way of progress
Try’na give you knowledge
You want to work alone
Improvise it
No revising
Deal with the consequence
Live with the outcome
Of these chains of events
Reality’s set in
I’m not going to heaven
Cool cat Cougars
They're better, just sayin’
[Hook]
Shit from the past ain't change
Niggas on the corners still lame
Thinkin' they gon' change the game
Bitches try'na change last names
Thinkin' they can claim some fame
So they give more brain
But they need more brains
I swear it drives me insane
Shit from the past ain't change
Shit from the past ain't change
These niggas all sound the same
[Verse 2: T-R-E-Y]
Back to your dreams
Exclude me
Cause niggas ain't real
Imagin'ry
Rap's image
It isn't me
I'm not the one
Kids strive to be
At least in the present
They want my past
Run up on a nigga
From the gun, they blast
Leave families tattered
Make some cash
Pet goose
'Pagne in a glass
Pain in your heart
That shit lasts
Wait a lifetime
Still won't pass
Don't be like me
Have some class
Girls: don't be fast
Showin' your ass
Cause us dudes want sex
Love's just flex
Not top of our schedule
Pump you with ecs
My ex Stacy
She wanted to be
Only girl in my life
But that wasn't for me
Move on to Mary
Last name was Wanda
Thought she was cool
She said "You wanna
Get down with me?
Let's make this three
Me, you ('nd)
Allison Holly"
(In) the end I smoked her
Drank her friend
Got more depressed
So I did it again
Endless spin cycle
But I wasn't clean
Played women
Had 'em fall for me
This shit's so wrong
But it feels so right
More alcohol
Just an average night
I say the past
I really mean it
I did change
Though it doesn't seem it
Temptations:
(Pretty faces
Big chests
Skinny waists
Gettin' wasted
Good fellation
Full lips
That'll take me places
Smell of kush
Sound of music
Sexy girls
Knowin' how to do it
Thick asses
Girls with glasses
Striving for college
Passed all the classes
Conversations
Entertainment
Intelligence
Don't intimidate them
With no interest in cash
Not too fast
Not too slow
So you can't pass)
All this shit
Got a hold on me
But I'm breaking free
Of the pain, I mean
And the ignorance
Of takin' hits
And lettin' women
Take our shit
But I can't promise
That I won't be addicted
To alcohol
Drugs, sex, and women
I just hope
You all find your way
And you'll tell your kids
"Don't be like Trey"
[Hook]
[Outro: T-R-E-Y]
This shit's so wrong
But it feels so right
More alcohol
Each and every night
Reality's set in
Not going to heaven
Go back to your dreams
But you won't awaken
Picture this setting
The sun is settin'
Church is over
How them girls be dressin'?
Lookin' like dolls

But they're so backwards
