Once Upon A Time by TaySav Lyrics
This was once upon a time
It all started back in like 2006
When he moved up on the work
They started calling him a prince
Always had the newest clothes
Always wore the freshest kicks
Since he jumped off da porch he's been down here like ever since
Look, once upon a time he was a youngin’ that was thugging on the corners, he was hustlin', [?]
He was mugging, he was jugging and finessing
They didn't like how he was comin’
But the shorties that were with him promised that they weren't for nothing
So they put the hood on lock, yeah they put that bitch on clamps
You couldn't even come around if you ain't get your ass that stamp
Other niggas they was hating , throwing shade just like a lamp
Never paid that shit no mind cause he had killers in his camp
So they had to put respect on shorty name now
He was so insane, hanging with Mosey and Bang now
Freaky died in '08 and he was startin' to feel that pain now
Now he understanding that this shit ain't no game now
Then he started seeing niggas change up, niggas switching lanes
But him and all the shorties he was with was in the rain stuck
Told his niggas that we gotta promise to remain us
All the older niggas left us out here to get flamed up
Saddest part about it, he ain't never had no guidance
All he know was that he ridin’ ’til they run up on [?]
Told his brothers: "We can't get divded, we gotta stay silent. We gon’ run hella [?] 'til we take off like a rocket hold on"
Let's get to the chapter 2010, where a new era begins
All my niggas know is winning shit
Met a nigga, name was Pappy, Taysav was his kin and shit
Told Taysav "ay grab your bike and come back and kill this shit"
And there it was, and from that moment he was ICG
Told Taysav like they know how we comin', we acknowledged B
Bosworth bothered me, tell these niggas I’m the prodigy
These niggas honour me, but honestly I'm just a common G
Taysav told: "This the shit that I've been waiting on, I love you niggas like my brothers this the place I make my home. Went against the grain, well I did that but I don't care because y'all taught me everything I know and I promise I'ma make it known"
2012, that's the year they took his nigga Pooh, didn't know what to do
First nigga got took out of his crew, they was feelin blue
Knocked a couple niggas out their shoes
All their screws is loose, they was out here hanging like a noose
Folks had beat [?], came home and dropped that track and hit the news
Police scooped his crew, had his niggas dressed up in them shoes
He was after loot, but don't try cause that boy shoot
They was up a deuce until they came and took his nigga too (2 Cups)
They was out here gettin it cracking then he lost Markeyo too
So he had to choose, and he chose to keep playing with them tools
Never went to school, he was on the block early as noon
Shorty was a goon, out here from the sun up to the moon
He got locked up for them pipes and he came back time after time
Everytime he touched back down he was he seemed like "I'll just get the dime'
Bullets started flying, swear the score was like a 3 to 9
They was staying alive 'til 2015 when niggas started dying
It all started back in like 2006
When he moved up on the work
They started calling him a prince
Always had the newest clothes
Always wore the freshest kicks
Since he jumped off da porch he's been down here like ever since
