[English]

Okay okay I need it now make me salivate

Okay okay Who pussy in they lemonade

Okay okay Wrote a 8 then took it to the face

Okay okay changed my lines and now she need a place

She not ok try to get high she tried to meditate

But them demons they gone pull her right back to LA

She thought they know drug addicts reason that she say

Im a hypocrite but i still want a second date

One Of Us

One Of Us

Family told me I don't listen

Now my opps they don't listen up

Honestly i'm sick of em

Bigger and I'm bitter now

I'm the richest sinner out

Alone in my room on all the drugs feel like i'm camping out

Remember I was in the studio thinking i'm better now

The juice ain't worth the squeeze more juice in me then a Tropicana

Niggas smoking pencil sticks

I'm smoking logs

You sleep on the streets if you do get high as me

Popping plenty perky babies you can call me chucky cheese

Witchcraft, voodoo, claiming self dumbass drug fiend

Might D-I-E trying be like me

Might D-I-E trying be like me

One Of Us

Where do you go, where do you go with your friends at night

Where do you go when your dad says no ride

Where do you go, you don't know what you don't know

There's no room, spaceship for you

There's no room, spaceship for you

There's no room, spaceship for you, for you, for you, for you

They call me crackhead still im gone get it cracking

Woke nigga in my verse though white kids would say it back on

Stages I would be dancing for something that's never happened

Ever since i was six I was seen as the token black kid

Couldn't show any flaws or mark on our reputation

I was fighting the demons that lived in my own reflection

A take a lost cause i never can take a loss

Whoever had a choice that's why there's no remorse

I write my own commandments I'm breaking all my laws

I'm burning cuban cigars that's contraband of course

I'm too high for the laws this trip not a car

But the feeling of repeating to being trapped in this world

I mean being trapped, But i've been in the trap before

The part that they be trapping get really been trapping boys

They passing you be hitting it ain't no choice

Say R.I.P and IG, they love you when you're destroyed

• She not ok try to get high she tried to meditate

  ➔ Ellipsis of the verb "to be" (colloquial) and infinitive "to get"; past simple for completed action
