Black Meadow by Villain Park Lyrics
[Spoken Intro and (Hugh Augustine)]
Look, I've been hurt a couple of times, but I always know how to carry myself. I am confident, I am sexy, I am strong, I am beautiful, I am a black flower. I'm gonna keep blooming, I'm still gonna be beautiful at the end of the day. I know myself, and if you can't see that, then get the fuck out my way, you feel me (yeah), you dudes gonna see (uh). Black flower
[Verse 1: Hugh Augustine]
When y'all was hittin' them licks, or runnin' out with those packs
Y'all was tying niggas up, when I was layin' my tracks
All I needed was a gun, and I coulda made 30 racks
Woulda got me an F, thank god for my raps
On my two feet standin', all your respect I'm demandin'
On a rocket ship that I'm commanding, all my homies finna cash in, yo
Look alive, 25, got my chips up
Rents due, hoes down, niggas pimped up
What it do, make move right now, outta town double up, then I'm coming back next month
If the pigs roll up I gotta load the pump, uh
N.W.A., I'm still out the trunk
Khakis creased I stay on point
Out of Backwoods then I'm rolling a joint, uh
You get the notion, that we wasn't holdin'
You sound like you tweakin', nigga what you been smoking?
[Pre-Chorus: Bunge and Smokey]
These streets out here, will mess you up
"Keep your head high", yeah I've been told
Get your feet wet and test your luck
They killing my niggas we 'bout to lose control
What it's gone take to heal my soul?
Will I survive or will I die?
Plant that seed and you'll surely know
Let me go where the flowers grow
Let me go where the flowers grow
Let me go where the flowers grow
Let me go where the flowers grow
Let me go where the flowers grow
[Chorus: Smokey]
We done been through this before
Thinkin' back when we was broke
When no one was at my show
You know I'm starvin' right?
Never gave up on my goal
Keep my ten toes to the floor
Back to back can make it grow
We gettin' ride tonight
[Verse 2: Smokey]
Yo, blaze of smoke, collecting them pesos gotta get it and go
Grinding for my peoples that was giving me hope
But never left me in the cold when I needed them most
You wasn't there when we was cooking the dope
Don't need no more weight on the boat, tryna make the result
Book a flight to my world if you ready to go
But you can see how niggas ride when we cruisin' the coast
Already know we did it right tonight, uh
[Verse 3: Bunge]
And all my niggas with me might ride tonight, that's regardless
Down with a nigga before I barely started
Where was you when life was the hardest, starving
Nine shows back to back, who would've thought that boy from a block away, would be known for rap?
Momma told me to get a job but the hours I'm putting in is a proven fact
In the studio, plotting future goals, my nigga Huey know and Zay too
We gettin' all these groupie hoes, we never wifin' those, we one night them hoes then we through
You never know what life can throw at you, whatever it is best believe my nigga we get through
As soon as that mic is on, I'm never wasting time I speak my mind and speak the truth
[Pre-Chorus: Bunge and Smokey]
These streets out here, will mess you up
"Keep your head high", yeah I've been told
Get your feet wet and test your luck
They killing my niggas we 'bout to lose control
What it's gone take to heal my soul?
Will I survive or will I die?
Plant that seed and you'll surely know
Let me go where the flowers grow
Let me go where the flowers grow
Let me go where the flowers grow
Let me go where the flowers grow
Let me go where the flowers grow
[Verse 4: Hugh Augustine]
Think I'm back! Remember, I used to sleep on the sofa
Before I had fans at my shows I performed for my brothers
Before I made grams for my verses I had the ten dollars gram going for certain
When I got shot I said I wouldn't work for nobody else ever again
No plan B for me that's another divert
C'mon let me put you out of your misery
Wanted for murdering all of my enemies
Fuck the oppression I'm fighting the industry
I ain't surprised that they try to come after me
Where does the business begin and the friendship end?
Ain't loving my neighbor they hating my skin
Want to make me a slave but I never give in
Okay, okay, everybody with the shit right around my way
So many talented people who getting caught up 'cause the city is lethal
You wouldn't know, unless you from the street
This be the shit that the school couldn't teach
I gotta hustle, all on my own, cannot depend on nobody to eat
[Chorus: Smokey]
We done been through this before
Thinkin' back when we was broke
When no one was at my show
You know I'm starvin' right?
Never gave up on my goal
Keep my ten toes to the floor
Back to back can make it grow
We gettin' ride tonight
[Outro]
La, la, la, la, la (What?)
La, la, la, la, la (What?)
La, oh, oh, oh, oh
We gettin' ride tonight
La, la, la, la, la (What?)
La, la, la, la, la (What?)
La, oh, oh, oh, oh
We gettin' ride tonight
Uh, whatchu talkin', ay, uh, what you doing? I say oh oh ah ay. What you doin' b? Black out!
*Static*
Is you motherfuckers finished? Y'all finished? You silly motherfuckers. You got to be soldiers, alright, soldiers, not clowns goddamnit! You better start listening and stop playin'. Hold on, pull over right here
I thought we was goin' straight to the spot?
Nigga I said pull over
For what?
Pull over!
