KiD Swoop - Tribulations Lyrics

(What they thought)
They thought I was lost
He said I could do it
And now we fam
Cause now I'm winning
(What I'm made of)


Use to look at a G-Shock
Just to watch the time past
Now I wake up looking at a Rollie
Damn times change
Sometimes people get worried
Think that I might change
So I'm just looking at the bigger picture
All I do is paint
I can't live in the moment
That's how you stay young
I'm tryna make it old
Think smarter but I just look young
Back when I used to act dumb
Nobody even dealt wit me
But dumb turned to greatness
Now everybody is kin to me
Christians turn to demons
Demons turning to the ministry
This world going down
I'm tryna find the line of symmetry
Pops told me son
You always had the ability
To change the world mentally
Time to do it physically
These streets is getting colder and colder
Where's the humidity
The only heat that we see
Is a gun that's stupidity
And kids skipping school
Just to join these activities
It's kids dying every single day
And there's no sympathy


(What they thought)
They thought I was lost
He said I could do it
And now we fam
Cause now I'm winning
(What I'm made of)
They counted me out
Without a doubt
I changed my plans
It's just the beginning
(What I was left to do)
I lived a life
That wasn't right
Became a man and start living
(Find a better way for me and you)
They're only way to keep me from you
Baby they will have to kill me


We was kicking in doors
We was invading homes
Was running through these women
And passing em through the bros
Only loyal to my niggas cause we respect the code
Know some hittas in the streets
Where they doing niggas bold
And some niggas hitting licks
Where they leave these niggas cold
And um...
Taught to never switch onna gang
Closest niggas switching up
Man this shit ain't the same
Granny said I'm destined for greatness
Them kids in the way
But the way I'm moving I'll be in prison today
So I made ah decision, to switch the way I'm livin
Wit the mind set to go get it
But having better Intentions
Went from clutching extensions
To working all on my penman
Started writing this music and enter better positions
ADHD was kicking this shit the truth I ain't kidding
In the booth freestyling
And half my shit was unwritten
Niggas want me to stop
But my time is only beginning


(What they thought)
They thought I was lost
He said I could do it
And now we fam
Cause now I'm winning
(What I'm made of)
They counted me out
Without a doubt
I changed my plans
It's just the beginning
(What I was left to do)
I lived a life
That wasn't right
Became a man and start living
(Find a better way for me and you)
They're only way to keep me from you
Baby they will have to kill me


The preacher looking for the heroin man
Where do you stand
Half grams in the back of the class
How can I tell'em not to do what I did
When they momma sellin ass
Just to get what I give
They growing cold ain't no lying to the babies
No more all the lil Sally Sue's
Looking up to these hoes
That's what choose to emulate
Its bruise our culture but pay the toll yea ya soul
What's worth is it blood on yo hands
Will you really put in work
Will make her sell her body
It ain't easy hard work
Keep'em in line will you serve a pregnant fiend
Tell me do you have line morally you wont cross
You are not like we please define
You dont wanna be a victim of this crime
Step aside go to school lil nigga
Start a business f*ck the grind
Leave it alone before you run into my kind


(What they thought)
They thought I was lost
He said I could do it
And now we fam
Cause now I'm winning
(What I'm made of)
They counted me out
Without a doubt
I changed my plans
It's just the beginning
(What I was left to do)
I lived a life
That wasn't right
Became a man and start living
(Find a better way for me and you)
They're only way to keep me from you
Baby they will have to kill me


Tried to be something I wasn't
Just to give you everything you never had
Once it goes wrong it's a feeling thing's forever bad Give you insight on what you ask now hella mad
Told you girl got my heart and you cant deal wit that
For you I try ta be better than I had been before Daddy's leading lady
You then changed me to the core
When I look at you it ain't no way I could ignore
Your the best parts of me your the piece that's pure
But witcha momma and all of that drama I cant deal She wanna break our bond and that's for real
Its killing me so I know that its hurting you
Feeling all the pain ya momma put in us through
She talked about them but now she doing it too Playing separation games
Wont bring her closer to you blind eyes could see Who she feeling closest to want to hold her at fault Cause I ain't still close wit you


(What they thought)
They thought I was lost
He said I could do it
And now we fam
Cause now I'm winning
(What I'm made of)
They counted me out
Without a doubt
I changed my plans
It's just the beginning
(What I was left to do)
I lived a life
That wasn't right
Became a man and start living
(Find a better way for me and you)
They're only way to keep me from you
Baby they will have to kill me
(What they thought)
They thought I was lost
He said I could do it
And now we fam
Cause now I'm winning
(What I'm made of)
They counted me out
Without a doubt
I changed my plans
It's just the beginning
(What I was left to do)
I lived a life
That wasn't right
Became a man and start living
(Find a better way for me and you)
They're only way to keep me from you
Baby they will have to kill me
