Humble Guy - Jelly Roll
I'm still strong, I'm still out here doin' it
Hopin' that this music tip'll get me out this foolishness
Grew up in the neighborhood, my big brother was movin' bricks
We had killers in them gutters, it felt like the movie it
It was all about the time that Hammer dropped that tune legit
Police knockin' at the door, momma screamin' who is this?
I was only six, man, this must've been the '90s
Police askin' about my brother, askin' us if we could find him
My momma went hard, she ain't even trip at all
Hell no's, the only thing that she said to them laws
I don't know about y'all, but this how I was raised
So forgive me if we different, we'll never be the same
I ain't changed, and I could never change
I stood there in the storm, metal pole in the rain
And I must've got stuck, somewhere I went insane
But take it how it is, it's just part of the game
That's why I'm a humble guy, yeah, that's why
That's why I'm a humble guy, yeah, that's why
'Cause I'd to struggled all my life, yeah that's why
That's why I'm a humble guy, and I'm like f_ck these other guys
I'm flowed in how I'm living, I know it's kinda risky
I know the Lord is with me, but hold on to this in me
Just in case somebody's trying to catch me out here loafing
They not knowing that this .45 is tucked inside my holster
I grew up on the bottom, I see what the top's like
I'm so paranoid these days, I don't stop at them stoplights
I came from the gutter with the roaches and rats
I left the house when I was young, and I ain't never go back
I was determined to be the best thing I could be
A lot of people tried to spit, but they ain't do it like me
So I'm hoping one day that this music thing
Will make my life truly change, no more moving things
And I could never change
I stood there in the storm, metal pole in the rain
And I must've got stuck, somewhere I went insane
But take it how it is, it's just part of the game
That's why I'm a humble guy, yeah, that's why
That's why I'm a humble guy, yeah, that's why
'Cause I'd to struggled all my life, yeah that's why
That's why I'm a humble guy, and I'm like f_ck these other guys
Use to crash at my partner's houses, sleeping on different couches
If you ain't been there, then you don't know sh_t about it
Riding around, caught cloudy, cruising through my side of town
Me and Duron would ride around, serving reggie by the pound
And six years later, I'm still on the same sh_t
But lil Brain he ain't here no more, so we don't feel the same sh_t
The ones I hang with are the ones I banged with
That's the same dudes that been around me the same click
I ain't bout to change sh_t, I vow that I'm never changing
Just accept the fact the radio probably never play us
And the way I'm living life, I feel like I might never make it
I don't care if I make it, I don't care if I'm famous, I'm me
And I could never change
I stood there in the storm, metal pole in the rain
And I must've got stuck, somewhere I went insane
But take it how it is, it's just part of the game
That's why I'm a humble guy, yeah, that's why
That's why I'm a humble guy, yeah, that's why
'Cause I'd to struggled all my life, yeah that's why
That's why I'm a humble guy, and I'm like f_ck these other guys, I'm me
