Uh yea

Good looking out on this beat though
Cam be getting mad yall he be like
"Man what you want my beats for you make your own beats"
This shit hot nigga!
Yea, I was gon rap about rapping on this joint or something
Some generic shit about love or something like that
But you know me
Yea just ride with us then
Verse 1
Did I mention I was from Largo?
Where niggas ride dirty with more green in they whips than Wells Fargo
Yall know this whole side of the district When niggas move quick when they couch get evicted
Ouch they right with it they house tax raised up
Gentrification on the rise they like "pay up"
It's no surprise when White folks is moving in
Cause they got the money and time to pursue the trends
Same trends be end of us pure
Mom and pops store replaced by Couture Starbucks here and a Starbucks there
How much coffee you need my god it's unfair
They move away from the burbs to escape the monotony
Bring along wit em they pilates and pottery
Classes and all that unfair shit
My city don't look the same
What a shame it's tragic
