Little Homies - Vince Staples

Chase checks, little homie (Uh-huh)
'Cause the money bring the power and respect, little homie (Yeah)
Give some dollars to your mama and invest, little homie (Uh-huh)
Do you, don't worry 'bout the rest, little homie
Just be blessed, little homie
You don't gotta crash out for the set, little homie
Keep your head on the swivel when you step, little homie
If them niggas catch you slippin' it's a wrap (Ayy)
But don't worry 'bout that, little homie (Aw, yeah)
It don't matter where you from, where you at, little homie?
I was ridin' down South with the mask and the .40 (Uh-huh)
Tryna get a nigga, now I'm gettin' love, gettin' money (On the hood)

Got it out the mud, I was hustlin' (I was hustlin')
I was runnin' 'round, tryna run the bands (Run it)
Know you say you wanted better (On the hood)
But you gotta feel the pressure
You feel it?

Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh)
Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh)
Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh)
Streets cold but the road taught us (Uh-huh)
Concrete where the rose blossom (Uh-huh)
Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh) (Ayy-ayy, tell 'em about the last time)
Hey, don't crash out

Last time niggas tried me (Bang-bang)
It was R.I.P's, it was airbrushed tees (Bang)
It was glass sittin' on concrete
Love them east side streets, runnin' with Fly Meech
'Fore they booked cuz, let Pac free (Free the homies)
'Fore the F's turned ICG
I was laced cleats, tryna make plays
'Cause a broke ass nigga don't eat (No way)
If you woke up bitter, don't come 'round me (Around me)
Streets so played out, spread love, spread peace
If the police pull up, run, don't freeze
Know they love to put a nigga in the ground six feet (Dead homies)

Got it out the mud, I was hustlin' (Got that hustle)
I was runnin' 'round, tryna run the bands (Run)
Know you say you wanted better
But you gotta feel the pressure, ayy

Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh)
Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh)
Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh)
Streets cold but the road taught us (Uh-huh)
Concrete where the rose blossom (Uh-huh)
Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh)
Hey, don't crash out

I know (I know) you see it (Uh-huh)
Said these streets made me a demon (Yeah, hey)
You see, these thoughts made me an artist (Uh-huh)
This card makes me elitist (Yeah, get fly)
If I swipe it, swear you got it
See, just tell me what you're dreamin'

'Cause I can make it come true 'round this bitch
What kind of nigga said money don't make you rich?
'Cause he was buggin', blow the budget, baby, cut me a check (Uh-huh)
They arguin' about my net worth over the net (Uh-huh)
They quantifyin' everything I ever did for the set (Uh-huh)
When every nigga livin' for it still livin' in debt (Uh-huh)
It's so moronic, so iconic
We platonic (Uh-huh) but sex is what she wanted (Uh-huh)
Sorry, I can't move my two o'clock (Mm-hmm)
Bad decisions over women everybody want
Left with nothin' but a broken heart (Feel it?)
You feel it?

Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh)
Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh)
Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh)
Streets cold but the road taught us (Uh-huh)
Concrete where the rose blossom (Uh-huh)
Life hard but I go harder (Uh-huh)
Hey, don't crash out (Break it down)

(Life hard but I go harder, uh-huh)
One man once said life is what you make it (Life hard but I go harder, uh-huh)
Most niggas don't make shit (Life hard but I go harder, uh-huh)
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Life hard but I go harder, uh-huh)
Late on rent (Life hard but I go harder, uh-huh)
Check to check (Life hard but I go harder, uh-huh)
If that's how you livin' (Life hard but I go harder, uh-huh, hey)
Repeat after me

Say, "Things get better"
Everything gets better
Hey, keep your head up
Gotta keep your head up, keep your head up
You gotta keep your head up, feel the pressure
Stormy weather makes those clouds (Just don't look down)
Don't look down, down, down
Please, don't look down
