Gang Over Luv – English Lyrics

• By: Brent Faiyaz

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I was hella broke then

I ain't have a dime

But I was always focused

I ain't waste no time

I ain't have a car in my name

I used to walk to work every day

Me and my dog, back in the night I came out alright

All the homies, we came up the same way

And I swear ain't nothing change

Got a little bit of change in my pocket, but I maintain

We were young and in this world chasing dreams and girls

Running from our problems

I know that we older now, but that's what we were all about

I remember we were young

Young and dumb

Some niggas in a rush

...

I remember we were young

Young and dumb

I remember it was gang over love

That was us

...

I remember we would cut class

My teachers used to hate me

The only reason that I did that was to keep from going crazy

I didn't give a damn 'bout my grades

That's probably why we failed the ninth grade

Me and my dogs

Like it or not, we came out okay

All the homies, we came up the same way

And I swear ain't nothing change

Way before I ever moved out the house and did the damn thing

We were young and in this world chasing dreams and girls

Running from our problems

And I know we're older now, but that's what we were all about

I remember we were young

Young and dumb

Some niggas in a rush

...

I remember we were young

Young and dumb

I remember it was gang over love

That was us

...
