Ambitious Rebels Lyrics by Deecon

W.A.Y. (What A Year)

2016

Intro:
I'm a black man
And I don't know how to sing
And I don't know how to dance
And I don't know how to preach to no congregation
I'm too small to be a football hero
And I'm to ugly to be elected mayor
But I watch TV and I see all them people in all them fine homes they live in
And them nice cars they drive
And I get all full of ambition
Tell me what I'm suppose to do with all this ambition I got

Hook:
You can blame the pain if you want to
Call a nigga insane if you want to
But this all that I know
See I was raised in the hood
'Round the guns and drugs
Went and got it out the mud
Where was you at
Shed some tears and some blood
But it was hard coming up
See I was raised by the thugs
It just wasn't what it was
But it's all that I know

Verse:
See where I'm born at you gonna recognize the format
Or you can get stepped on just like floor mats
See where I'm raised at
Every now and then they blaze cats and give more pats than Sajek
Put a fortune on some wheels
Pay a ton like they Walter
Keep a 38 special like the Strait of Gibraltar
Give them praise at the alter
Holy City is the Mecca
Boy remember what they taught ya
Give'em hell if they let ya
I'm trying to get paid
Move the rock like Rose and my man Wade
I don caught a wave and headed to the top
Got lines around the corner waiting for my mic drops
You cannot stop my Jordan high tops
Feel them Jacksons creep on Auerbach
I mean our backs
I need that Maybach to kick my feet up cause I can't stress that

Hook:
You can blame the pain if you want to
Call a nigga insane if you want to
But this all that I know
See I was raised in the hood
'Round the guns and drugs
Went and got it out the mud
Where was you at
Shed some tears and some blood
But it was hard coming up
See I was raised by the thugs
It just wasn't what it was
But it's all that I know
