For My Cousins Lyrics by Jodye Basco

2022

My main goal is to blow up
And then act like I don't know nobody
Hi, how are you
What's good, what's new
How's England, or Spain
I don't know which of them you're in
I guess I had to smoke a bit
Baby listen to my thoughts
I was gone tryna get the cash
Make it how it's supposed to be
Baby, I just wanna glow
Tryna blow like my cousin Brad
I would do it all for my brothers
Said I would do it all for them
I would do it all for my cousins
Back home where I'm from
I just came from back home where all my brothers lie
Back in London, against the wall is when I come alive
Dead inside, soul matching with my cousin's eyes
Where I'm from one-two never come so the dozеns die
April Lane, that's wherе we lived our double lives
Wellington, Western Cape, where my grandfather died
Where they shot my Uncle in the face for stopping by the side of the road
Block away from where they took my Auntie's pride
So I'm just tryna roll with it
Tryna hit a triple-double with the flow so I blow
And can blow a lil cash for the bros
And the hoes who would tell me I wasn't grown
When I didn't have a dollar sign
Where I'm from they don't know the meaning of traumatized
It's just another day, another crime
Shit baby, I guess we gotta flip another dime
'Til it look like we've moved a hundred pies
I guess I had to smoke a bit
Baby listen to my thoughts
I was gone tryna get the cash
Make it how it's supposed to be
Baby, I just wanna glow
Tryna blow like my cousin Brad
I would do it all for my brothers
Said I would do it all for them
I would do it all for my cousins
Back home where I'm from
Where I'm from is full of guns under the sunny skies
It's hella hot but there's heaters in abundance
I never leave it in a hurry, I'm a rugged guy
You ain't built to be where I was blooded
Walk a mile in my shoes, your feet'd need some crutches
Going toe to toe with me will leave you with a bunion
What's up then
I'm just tryna blow up like cousin Brad
Get a couple pads from how I'm keeping a hunnid
In and out the hood, I was tryna save face
Now I'm tryna say grace with the people that I'm loving
In a mansion back home, no more eating on a budget
Believe me, I ain't budging
'Til we getting bucks that mean it's nothing to get plane cause winning is a habit
She wanna get in, she never been to Calabasas
If you tryna visit Spain I got a villa like I'm David
And no more feeling pain, I mean, unless it's from our taxes
I guess I had to smoke a bit
Baby listen to my thoughts
I was gone tryna get the cash
Make it how it's supposed to be
Baby, I just wanna glow
Tryna blow like my cousin Brad
I would do it all for my brothers
Said I would do it all for them
I would do it all for my cousins
Back home where I'm from
