Lately - Dom Kennedy
[Verse 1:]
I grew up sandwiched up
Between my oldest sister and my youngest one, Danica
I didn't have plans for much, just lamping up
And used to confuse nice things with the fancy stuff
I'm a back in the day n_gga
I'm a westside Crenshaw official LA n_gga
Money still don't make me
You don't wanna see a n_gga pull out off safety
Your girl still wanna date me
She wanna hit the mall, I'm here come take me
Tell her just don't rape me
Bust a nut give her dap tell her get home safely
[Chorus:]
Lately, Lately
When I roll up heads turn my tops up
Lately, Lately
N_ggas don't really want no problems
Lately we make all the girls strip at the pool party
Summertime, I'm talking bout LA, I'm talking bout lately I'm repping LA
Lately that's what I'm talking bout
[Verse 2:]
I been up but it don't mean much
What's the good in being on when your whole f_cking teams stuck
I'm trynna help lift their dreams up
I'm not happy in the playoffs I'm trynna pick some rings up
When life's hard get harder, think big think smarter
Be a boy be a man be a martyr
I used to catch a game with my father
And now I catch planes to Chicago
A n_gga felt the pain of the bottem
And now I chalk game up in Harlem
2 gold chains what's the problem
A n_gga work hard so I got em
Them Jordans go hard so I got em
That n_gga seen mines then he got em
So in us we trust
Hoes down G's up
Spend money Re Up
School days free lunch
Never quit, keep up
You gotta hit the weed once
Sky high reach up
We don't like police much
One nation teach us
God bless peace up
[Chorus:]
Lately, Lately
When I roll up heads turn my tops up
Lately, Lately
N_ggas don't really want no problems
Lately we make all the girls strip at the pool party
Summertime, I'm talking bout LA, I'm talking bout lately I'm repping LA
Lately that's what I'm talking bout
(Dom)
Once more time
In us we trust
Hoes down G's up
Spend money Re Up
School days free lunch
Never quit, keep up
You gotta hit the weed once
Sky high reach up
We don't like police much
One nation teach us
God bless peace up
Put your peace up!
[Chorus:]
Lately, Lately
When I roll up heads turn my tops up
Lately, Lately
N_ggas don't really want no problems
