Illegal Lyrics by Todd Lee

2018

[Intro]
Yeah
I learned to get shit for me around no broke niggas
I just started to catch myself saying "I'ma do this, I'ma do that"
And this shit not getting done (On God)
That's all y'all niggas do, just talk about it (Told I was goin' up)
Y'all ain't really be about it (I had to switch it up)
If you show me, like, let's talk about action
You feel me, this the year, ain't shit to play, we got shit to do
Ayy, ayy, yeah

[Chours]
I gotta stay away from broke niggas (I do)
Why you doing that if you ain't tryna be the GOAT nigga
They shut all my dreams down but I never lost hope (Nah)
And niggas tried to slide so I gotta keep a toast, nigga (Toast, nigga)
They gon' make me do sum illegal (Yeah)
They gon' make me do sum illegal
All I ever did was tryna provide for my people (Yeah)
Ain't nobody perfect, never said I'd be a hero (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
But who knows? (Who knows?)
Gotta get that weight off my shoulder, shit moving too slow (Too slow)
I would've caught a grenade for you like Bruno (I would)
Now it's tunnel vision, I don't got time for you hoes (Nah)
All I see is blue, no
Dag it, pack it, ain't never lacking, on this ship I'm the captain (I am)
Big brave, if you want to I show you that I can make it happen
Cannon blasting at any nigga tryna hop that bandawagon
My niggas do way to battles, we don't want her if she average
I'm so antisocial (Yeah)
Everyone 'round me say that's gon' stop me being global (Why?)
Like "How you gon' make it if you push away all approaches"
I feel like life's goin' thru the motion
I can swim through an ocean (I'ma figure it out though)
You were my brother 'til you lied to me (Lied on me, on God)
Said you'd commit a homicide for me (Homicide for me)
I should've knew about you action, you ain't gon' slide for me (Slide for me)
But I let God do a subtraction, caption in life for me (Caption in life for me)

[Chours]
I gotta stay away from broke niggas (I do)
Why you doing that if you ain't tryna be the GOAT nigga
They shut all my dreams down but I never lost hope (Nah)
And niggas tried to slide so I gotta keep a toast, nigga (Toast, nigga)
They gon' make me do sum illegal (Yeah)
They gon' make me do sum illegal
All I ever did was tryna provide for my people (Yeah)
Ain't nobody perfect, never said I'd be a hero (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
But who knows?
Breaking bread with the wrong niggas made my heart too cold (It did)
Put it on my life, I ain't switching, these niggas too bold (I won't)
I stopped hanging around people you would know who talk
Can't point out who gon' fall
I ain't got no time, no waste time, I been on my job (Nah)
Nigga working hard, safe to say that I'm one of a kind (Yeah)
Take it with a smile, under it you'll never see the frown
Ain't no bowing down, point it out or you can't be around
Start to finish I gotta get it, get me my recognition (For real)
Put some niggas on, to this day they still act like I didn't (It's cool)
They gon' feel it, every time they see me on a television (On God)
Could've been beside, but you ain't ride, failed at your position (On God)
Turn the negative to positivity, yeah yeah
Can't be down with us, ain't no canvassing me, yeah yeah
Hit the stu', work on my creativity, yeah yeah
That's the only thing that help me mentally, yeah yeah yeah

[Chours]
I gotta stay away from broke niggas (I do)
Why you doing that if you ain't tryna be the GOAT nigga
They shut all my dreams down but I never lost hope (Nah)
And niggas tried to slide so I gotta keep a toast, nigga (Toast, nigga)
They gon' make me do sum illegal (Yeah)
They gon' make me do sum illegal
All I ever did was tryna provide for my people (Yeah)
Ain't nobody perfect, never said I'd be a hero (Yeah)

[Outro]
A hero, a hero, a hero
Never said I'd be a hero
A hero, a hero, a hero
Never said I'd be a hero
Never said I'd be a hero
