AVE! Lyrics by Oblé Reed

RETROVISION

2024

[Verse 1]
Yeah, how they got opinions when I come 'round
Talking 'bout all the things we said come 'round
I done made all the moves while the sun down
So they can't take credit for the boy now
And they looking all around like it's profound
But the flowers that we got from the backyard
In the road that we paved from a street sign
Y'all been rushin' y'all selves givin' me time, in the meantime
Uh, how could anybody say that they king now
Called 'em up, told 'em "Step in the ring now"
And they saw what it cost and they cheapеd out
And I spoke and they talk, it seem cheap now
A-S-L, lеt the hands talk, million dollar smile, let the fans and the brands talk
Even if they can find the words, it depends on the verbs, understand?
It's a man's world
But I got sum' for my sistas
CPU, man, it stinks in the system
It's codename kid, next door from the Ave, or the park, or the store that you see 'round
If he be 'round, bet the green 'round
Keep your feet down in your ten toes
If you let go, if you let go, if you let go
Then it's over

[Chorus]
He was just a kid from the Ave (Man)
And he still a kid from the Ave (Ooh)
He was just a kid from the Ave (Man)
You know a nigga came from the Ave (Ooh)
He was just a kid from the Ave (Man)
And he still a kid from the Ave (Ooh)
He was just a kid from the Ave (Man)
You know a nigga came from the Ave (Ooh)

[Verse 2]
They told me the chance was a million to one
But they never thought millions would come to they neighborhood place where the cable good
Place where the used to watch TV, now they yelling "Bro on the TV!"
Chameleon niggas think if they get close, they could be me
My camo is better, ya feel me?
I cracked my head on the ceiling the glass went and shattered they thought it was diamonds that rained down in millions of pieces
But the streetlights still ain't changed
We still got niggas doing too-too-too much, and the voices still lyin' the same
And the money tree still don't growing out here
And my girlfriend used to the fame
Just some black kid with his black skin on the Westside chillin' with his hand on his cape
Listen

[Bridge]
I can't help your complication
My contact won't help your vision
My street ain't too big on visits
Pig pile way too big to swim in
Uh, yeah
And if you think my situation is changing at all
Ain't nothing new over this side, you just paying attention and watching it all

[Chorus]
He was just a kid from the Ave (Man)
And he still a kid from the Ave (Ooh)
He was just a kid from the Ave (Man)
You know a nigga came from the Ave (Ooh)
He was just a kid from the Ave (Man)
And he still a kid from the Ave (Ooh)
He was just a kid from the Ave (Man)
You know a nigga came from the Ave (Ooh)
He was just a kid from the Ave
And he still a kid from the Ave
He was just a kid from the Ave
You know a nigga came from the Ave
He was just a kid from the Ave
And he still a kid from the Ave
He was just a kid from the Ave
You know a nigga came from the Ave
(You know a nigga came from the Ave)

[Outro]
I could've been anybody (I was just a kid from the Ave)
I could've been anybody (And I'm still a kid from the Ave)
I could've been anybody (This nigga came from the Ave)
I could've been anybody (And he's still a kid from the Ave)
I was just a kid from the Ave (I was just a kid from the Ave)
And I'm still a kid from the Ave
Mmm-mmm, Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mm
