Earn Your Stripes Lyrics by Jaycee (Hip-Hop)

Quarantine

2020

[Produced by $wedo Beats]
[Verse 1]
Walkin' down the gritty streets, got some Timbo's on my feet
Copped some Jordan's last week, might go riot with the freaks
Emcee master on the beats
Tempting fate, never copping pleas
When I drop the Source gives me double a three
I breeze by so stop it please
Even if I'm weak I lyrically drop the G's, Socrates I'm about to be
They're probably not gonna wanna walk with me
You've got to be the opposite of my philosophy born from poverty
Put my Optimum batteries in my mic and wipe the slate clean
Riding with a couple people born out of plight, all night
But we're just chilling out, playing music, no fights
Just talking in the Pontiac, no strobe lights
You wanna attack, we ain't even gonna respond to that, go right
My flow causes hypochondriacs to relax, even in the slight
Lyrics got you running from the hood, like white flight
Making all the biggest gangstas go and get a night light
Play instrumentals, make 'em bleed like they were stabbed with a sharp pipe
[Chorus]
Gotta focus on the pretty things in life, gotta earn your next stripe
Gotta get yourself a wife, gotta treat your kids right
Earn your stripes, earn your stripes
Earn your stripes, earn your stripes
I said you gotta focus on the pretty things in life, gotta earn your next stripe
Gotta get yourself a wife, gotta treat your kids right
Earn your stripes, earn your stripes
Earn your stripes, earn your stripes
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I sit lookin' at my phone hopin' she hop in it
Helping with math homework cause that's all I can get
Caught feelings a while ago, yo I gotta admit
My heart unattended is turning into a bottomless pit
I wanna be like Obi-Wan Kenobi but I'm sitting here alone
And lonely homie, the curtain is closing I'm going
Ain't gonna sit around no more, I'm kicking down the door
I'd fall a thousand floors, and a thousand more
[Chorus]
Gotta focus on the pretty things in life, gotta earn your next stripe
Gotta get yourself a wife, gotta treat your kids right
Earn your stripes, earn your stripes
Earn your stripes, earn your stripes
I said you gotta focus on the pretty things in life, gotta earn your next stripe
Gotta get yourself a wife, gotta treat your kids right
Earn your stripes, earn your stripes
Earn your stripes, earn your stripes
[Verse 3]
Detroit city's where I'm from, Detroit, they say pack a gun
Detroit, they say don't come, chill out, sit down
You clowns are gonna get your blood spilled out, allow
Relax, my bars will kill now, they say "Oh you ill now"
No I was always great, you just didn't pay attention, ayy
Not to mention my dissection of the alphabet
Gets realer every second, lethal weapons get put away
I'll take away your AK and let my verbal shotty spray
