Slums Lyrics by YNW Melly

Mercury

2022

[Intro: 100K Track & YNW Melly]
To accept charges (Yeah)
And consent to this recorded call (Gari, chop that shit up)
Press one to ****, thank you for using Securus (DeepHartt beats)
You may start the conversation now
Yo (Yung Shad, you killed this track)
What it is, man? You good?
Yeah, dog, motherfucking vibing, man
I'm in New York right now tryna lay this bitch down
(Hey, Track, you ran off with this one)

[Chorus: YNW Melly & 100K Track]
I'm straight up out the slums
Comin' straight up out the slums
Comin' straight up out the slums
A lot of people don't make it where I'm from
I wanted deep pockets, instead, I got a deep heart
I play in hands, I was thrilled, I never switch cars
I get emotional every time I think about my parents
Never cared 'bout comin' first 'cause I was built to last
They stay the strongest when you at your lowest
Never made excuses, won't ever show it
Givin' all I got, I'm goin' all in
I'm takin' on a loss and turnin' in a win
Straight up out the slums
I'm straight up out the slums
Comin' straight up out the slums
A lot of people don't make it where I'm from
Straight up out the slums
A long way where we come
Straight up out the slums
We're all waitin' from the slums

[Verse: 100K Track]
I'll wait, now I got them callin'
It be the ones you really love you gotta question
Never give up on yourself 'cause it's a time thing
And stay down 'til you shine, it's gon' fall in
Be the one you count on, don't let 'em count you out
And throw away your fears, don't even speak it out your mouth
And when they throwin' stones, pick it up and build a house
And never keep your head down, belief gon' come with doubt
Before this shine ten, now the ten you go through rain
And tell me what's joy if you never experienced pain
Championship dreams come and work during the season
You can't forget the goal. when you make it, don't start sleeping
And Melly, you a hero I just wanna let you know
To see you hold it down in a cell, man, you the GOAT
Until you get home, I keep a phone for me to pick up
And being your big brother one of the things that I'm proud of (I love you)

[Chorus: YNW Melly & 100K Track]
I'm straight up out the slums
Comin' straight up out the slums
Comin' straight up out the slums
A lot of people don't make it where I'm from
I wanted deep pockets, instead, I got a deep heart
I play in hands, I was thrilled, I never switch cars
I get emotional every time I think about my parents
Never cared 'bout comin' first 'cause I was built to last
They stay the strongest when you at your lowest
Never made excuses, won't ever show it
Givin' all I got, I'm goin' all in
I'm takin' on a loss and turnin' in a win
Straight up out the slums
I'm straight up out the slums
Comin' straight up out the slums
A lot of people don't make it where I'm from
Straight up out the slums
A long way where we come
Straight up out the slums
We're all waitin' from the slums
