ABOOD - Throwin Shades Lyrics

My wrist is shinin', it's haunted like Stanley
How you standin' in a line just to whine about how you can't stand me?
Took my family out just to eat fancy
Got your friends on the payroll, so don't play me
Left the scene for a while, now I'm back
I see a lot of people makin' music, tryin' to rap
Shit's kinda fire, though, I ain't gon' cap
But don't talk about struggle when you don't know what that is
This ain't a hype song, this a poetry
My dad struggled so I don't experience poverty
The pressure's over me to be the greatest, hopefully
So I pray to God to keep protections over me
A couple months ago, I lost my grandparents
Shit's been tough, I don't even know my own status
What you know about mothers havin' no mothers?
I see lately, the main subject is to hate others
And I ain't gon' lie
I know people countin' days till I die
Gonna build a legacy, even when I'm dead, I live on; I never die
I'm with the shit, and you know who I'm standin' by
I hope that we on the same page
You ain't shit-you still partied with the bitch
Here, men get passed around like they playin' tennis
They swear they don't, but the amount of times I hear this
They didn't really know, but I really wanted this
They know I make songs, but they never expected this
People playin' trends with the politics
Lately, I've been writin' all these tests with no rest
All this guilt on my chest, feel like cardiac arrest
Meetin' grandmother, that was top of the list
Then she passed-it was hard to digest
Beautiful beat, I just let it play itself
Elevatin' like I'm usin' Harry Potter spells
I ain't talkin' 'bout McDonald's, but I make a mill
He said he friendly, but I really couldn't tell
People spreadin' shit faster than COVID
I used to deal with them, but it's been a minute
The way they talk, you know I don't like it
Say I like a hoe? Bitch, I feel offended
All these altercations, ask 'em what they on
I date women who are tens-she ain't even one
These days, they chasin', beggin' anyone
I just sit, laugh, and then I'm gone
