G Herbo – Down By The River Lyrics [from “Greatest Rapper Alive”]
It’s True, I Done Been Through This
It’s Hard For You To Listen To Me ’cause You Ain’t Been Through Shit
Shut Off My Mind And Follow My Heart, So I Took Plenty Risks
How The Fck You Hating On Me Like God Ain’t Give Me This?
It Was Designed For Me To Fail When I Started
Long As I’m Breathing, Gotta Excel, So I’ma Win Regardless
They Get Depressed ‘Cause My Success,
But I’m The One With The Hardest
Knew The Coach, Seen Me Turn To A Jet,
Soon As That B!tch Departed
All The Dumb Shit I Did Was Just A Test, ’cause I’m The Smartest
Now I Look Back On My Life Like, I Was The Shit As A Kid
Walk In The Pits Black, With No Nightlight
All The Sneaky Shit Lit, Later Than All The Secrets I Hid
Running From Death, All The Reapers I Slid
Stuck In The Street, I Ain’t Skiing To Bed
And Now I Hate To Be In My Head
Lonely, Afraid To Sleep In My Bed
Stuck In My Thoughts, Thinking
Had To Play Dumb When I Was Young,
Ain’t Wanna Get Caught Thinking
Facing The Ground, Can’t Look At The Sun,
Ain’t Wanna Get Caught Blinking
Watched My Circle Get Knocked Off,
And Now We All Shrinking
Now I’m Always Drinking
Streets Made Our Heart Cold, Now We All Need Minks
Blood On That Money, It Ain’t Green To Me
I Can Barely Tell You What You Mean To Me
Nick Can’t Never Trade Me, I Don’t Even Need A Team
Life’s A Movie, But You Can’t Play Me, I Don’t Even Need A Scene
I Can’t Get No Help, ’cause I Don’t Need A Thing
Champion With No Belt, Never Received A Ring
Gave Out Too Much Love,
No More Love, I Ain’t Feelin’ Love
Gotta Go Cleanse My Body,
So Many Drugs, I Can’t Feel A Drug
Drop Tears When I Get A Hug,
Got Too Used To Niggas Gettin’ Slugged
Started Puttin’ My Dogs In The Wall,
Got Too Used To Niggas Gettin’ Dug
Six Feet, Everybody I Know, Six Feet
All The People I Knew,
That’s What Hammers Gettin’ Through You
I Get Killed Too, Try And B!tch Me
You Get Put On A Plate, Think It’s Shit Sweet
You Get Killed Broad Day, Try And Get To Me
I Get Up Every Day, Try To Get Rich, It’s Me
I Got More Cuban Links Than Mr. T
I Be Stressing Though, You Be Stressing Though
Then My Stress Just Add On To Your Stress Until We Stress Some More
I Was Stressing Less When I Was Broke, But It’s A Blessing Though
It’s So Hard For Me To Shake My Past, I Learn My Lessons Though
Where I’m Trying To Go, Sometimes I Don’t Even Know
Mentally I’m Broke, Sometimes I Don’t Even Show
I Be Planting Seeds, Sometimes I Don’t See ’em Grow
I Was Supposed To Leave, Gave Up And I Never Spoke It
Caught A Fear, Can’t Stand,
Lost My Nigga, It Got Me Back Totin’
I’m Like, “Fck Niggas,”
But Heart So Big, It Got Me Wide Open
Scared To Leave My Energy With My Kids,
Got Me Outside Rollin’
Comparing The Shit I’m Doing With
What I Did, It Got Me Back Smokin’
