Take a Risk Lyrics by Jayy’King

Dragonfly

2018

Wave God
Yeah yeah
Aw
It's just what happens in the streets when your family need to eat, yeah
Aw shit
Uh-huh
His daddy off in jail, his momma on them drugs now
He the breadwinner, he don’t get no love now
He only 15 but he gotta get it out the mud now
No food for them plates and no drinks for all them cups now
In them streets he show his ass like his jeans saggin
Soon he kingpin of his hood he got mean stash and
Now his brother wanna get in the game to get his bread up
Just hearing that shit fucked his head up cuz now he thinkin
Should I do it? Should I do it? I don't know man should I do it?
That's my brother he so young I just don’t want him to be ruined
If he fuck it up he know I'm gon be pissed
But in this game you know you gotta take a risk
Should I do it? Should I do it? I don't know man should I do it?
He just 12 but since he know the game I talk he speak it fluent
I don't want him be out here in this shit
But in this game you know you gotta take a risk
Take a risk, take a risk
Him and bro out on the corner moving packs like it was second nature
They made a team that was unstoppable in terms of paper
That shit was flowing like an enema I swear to god
They took a chance and when they did they had to tear the odds
It's competition round the corner stealing clientele
They high quality for cheaper when they buy and sell
His brother wanna take em out like they was dating
Man it's clear that his lil bro is going crazy got him thinking
Should I do it? Should I do it? I don't know man should I do it?
If I pull the strap I know it's gon be hard for me to use it
I don’t wanna go away for spraying clips
But in this game you know you gotta take a risk
Should I do it? Should I do it? I don’t know man should I do it?
That's somebody baby now they Momma gon be going thru it
It’s just money it ain't worth life in the pen
But in this game you know you gotta take a risk
Take a risk, take a risk
Rolled up on the corner that they heard about
Sure enough there was them niggas slangin birdies out
Pulled that pistol up and they asking for mercy now
They money hungry so they emptied out them 30s mouths
Pulled off quick and got back to the crib in only minutes
But now he can't stop thinking bout putting them holes in niggas
He paranoid he know that karma's real and it’s coming for him
He wanna stay around but don't know if he can so now he thinkin
Should I do it? Should I do it? I don't know man should I do it?
I could run away forever with the money I ain't using
I can't stay around and keep on selling bricks
But in this life you know you gotta take a risk
Should I do it? Should I do it? I don't know man should I do it?
If I keep on living here I know them niggas coming to me
I could drop it all right now with bro and split
But in this life you know you gotta take a risk
Take a risk, take a risk
Back on the block with all his gear cause he ready for action
He see some niggas pulling up but he ain't think they packin
They want some dope and so he reach into is pocket
Before he know it he look up and see they got them Glocks and
So he ran around the corner saw his brother laying dead
2 bullets in his chest and got bout 5 lodged in his head
He breaks down when he sees what done came about
Then they pull around and bust at him and lay him out
Damn
(Tire screech)
(six gunshots)
