G Herbo โ Down By The River Lyrics [from โGreatest Rapper Aliveโ]
I Was Born By The River
Iโm Working On Dying
In A Little Tent
Oh, And Just Like The River
Iโve Been Running
Ever Since
Itโs Been A Long, A Long Time Coming
But I Know I Canโt Go On
Oh, Listen To You
Itโs True, I Done Been Through This
Itโs Hard For You To Listen To Me โcause You Ainโt 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 Ainโt Give Me This?
It Was Designed For Me To Fail When I Started
Long As Iโm Breathing, Gotta Excel, So Iโma Win Regardless
They Get Depressed โCause My Success,
But Iโm 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, โcause Iโm 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 Ainโt 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,
Ainโt Wanna Get Caught Thinking
Facing The Ground, Canโt Look At The Sun,
Ainโt Wanna Get Caught Blinking
Watched My Circle Get Knocked Off,
And Now We All Shrinking
Now Iโm Always Drinking
Streets Made Our Heart Cold, Now We All Need Minks
Blood On That Money, It Ainโt Green To Me
I Can Barely Tell You What You Mean To Me
Nick Canโt Never Trade Me, I Donโt Even Need A Team
Lifeโs A Movie, But You Canโt Play Me, I Donโt Even Need A Scene
I Canโt Get No Help, โcause I Donโt Need A Thing
Champion With No Belt, Never Received A Ring
Gave Out Too Much Love,
No More Love, I Ainโt Feelinโ Love
Gotta Go Cleanse My Body,
So Many Drugs, I Canโt Feel A Drug
Drop Tears When I Get A Hug,
Got Too Used To Niggas Gettinโ Slugged
Started Puttinโ My Dogs In The Wall,
Got Too Used To Niggas Gettinโ Dug
Six Feet, Everybody I Know, Six Feet
All The People I Knew,
Thatโs What Hammers Gettinโ Through You
I Get Killed Too, Try And B!tch Me
You Get Put On A Plate, Think Itโs Shit Sweet
You Get Killed Broad Day, Try And Get To Me
I Get Up Every Day, Try To Get Rich, Itโs 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 Itโs A Blessing Though
Itโs So Hard For Me To Shake My Past, I Learn My Lessons Though
Where Iโm Trying To Go, Sometimes I Donโt Even Know
Mentally Iโm Broke, Sometimes I Donโt Even Show
I Be Planting Seeds, Sometimes I Donโt See โem Grow
I Was Supposed To Leave, Gave Up And I Never Spoke It
Caught A Fear, Canโt Stand,
Lost My Nigga, It Got Me Back Totinโ
Iโm Like, โFck Niggas,โ
But Heart So Big, It Got Me Wide Open
Scared To Leave My Energy With My Kids,
Got Me Outside Rollinโ
Comparing The Shit Iโm Doing With
What I Did, It Got Me Back Smokinโ
Whatโs My Destiny? I Know It
Will I Fulfill It? Shit, Iโm Hopinโ
Itโs My Passion And I Know It
Tell You Iโm Thug, But Iโm Coping
All This Money Donโt Mean Nothing
Pass Out Hundreds Like They Tokens
In My Future I Canโt Control It
But Iโll Be Damned If I Blow It
