Playlist Vince Staples

vince staples - 3230

Hittin' corners, thuggin' with the blower
Barrel louder than a motor
Keep the engine runnin' when a nigga run up on ya
Another day in sunny california
The feds takin' pictures and they tappin' motorolas
Everybody snitchin', gotta live with paranoia
A soldier since the stroller
Ask my mama if you doubt that
Homie where ya clout at?
You ain't ever push nobody's scalp back
45, 9s 'round 9 in the am
Yesterday I sat in place, today I'm finna take it
A week ago, they killed my bro
That's been the price of bangin'
Since my granny alameda days, robbin'
Cause we need a raise
Fingers do the talkin' when the cs do the walkin'
And the cs been polluted, baptism for these shooters
Seventh grade, I went to oca, hoopin' up at lueder's
With my ru from campanella
We was crashin' shit together

3230 Poppy st, we ain't chasin', they brought the beef
Used to the sounds of violence
My neighbors ain't never call police
Call it followin' protocols, spark it
If you ain't know the call
Got this bitch that live off of market
That's down to hold the heat
Turn the water and power off
Got to send patience, powered up
Evictions notices go unnoticed, the final hours up
Livin' off of borrowed time, committin' crimes
That's organized
Fortress ones and fortified, just tryna build my castle up
Got it in a dream, at night time we maskin' up
The deadly game of tag
The older generations passed to us
I got a clip that's long enough to shoot
Until the casket come
Wait until that casket drop, they droppin'
When that magnum pop

vince staples - big fish

[Juicy J:]
You can get anything you want
Know what I'm saying?
You want that over there?
You want that over there?
I got you

I was up late night ballin'

Countin' up hundreds by the thousands
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousands

[Vince Staples:]
I was up late night balling
So far from my past misfortune
No sleepin', late nights no eatin'
Gun squeezing, I'm a real Artesian
Ramona I was round that corner
Still down I'm a norf norf soldier
G slide right down sawyer
When we slide you won't see morning
Another story of a young black man
Tryna make it up out that jam god damn
Bag back let me make my bands got plans
If you hatin' don't shake my hand
Take it easy homie
Reminiscin' sitting in that Benz
Of the 22 bus stop way back when
With the 22, 5 shot eyes on scan
For the click clack clap
Or the boop bop bam cuz

[Juicy J:]
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousands

[Vince Staples:]
It's funny I was going crazy not too long ago
Women problems every morning
like the Maury show
Swimming upstream while I'm tryna keep my bread
From the sharks make me wanna
put the hammer to my head
At the park politickin' with the kids
Tryna get em on a straight path
got the lames mad
Know they hate to see me make cash
got the space dash
In the foreign with the Gps
addressed to your mama house
Compensation conversations what I'm all about
Took the smart route, never been marked out
Shoulda been dead broke, shoulda been chalked out
But it didn't happen
now it's time to get it cracking
Quarterbackin' like I'm 40 Water
Mix the holy water with the Voss
Wanna be the boss then you gotta pay the cost
Learned it from the Dogg I'm from Long Beach
That's the city where the skinny carry strong heat

[Juicy J:]
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousands
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousands
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousands
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousands

Oh no

On 65 I tell the truth, no lies
The sheets and crosses turned to suits and ties
In black america, can you survive?
They made a nuisance once the noose is tied
We gentrified, we victimized, we fighting for survival
No hopes and dreams, just leave us be
We leanin' on the bible
They preyin' on us, prayin' for a better day tomorrow
Hide the fear behind this here bravado

I wake up feeling like I am the coldest nigga breathing
Look in the mirror like goddamn

Don't shake my hand unless you're passin' payment
Keep your salutations, need my forty acres
Why they hate us?
Why they want to rape us for our culture?
They greet us, feed us, bleed us
Then they leave us for the vultures
They break the grill, get off with millions
Tryna to break their focus
Mo ten the man to mow a lawn, the hopeless

vince staples - lift me up

Hey, I'm just a nigga until I fill my pockets
And then I'm mr. nigga, they follow me while shoppin'
I feel like mickey richards, they feel like muddy waters
So tell me what's the difference
So tell me what's the difference?
My momma was a christian, crip walkin' on blue-waters
Was fadin' up in davis, then walkin' back to palmer
A fro like huey partner, auntie angie had them choppers
So tell me what's the difference
So tell me what's the difference?
I feel like "fuck versace", they rapin' nigga's pockets
And we don't get acknowledged
Just thank me for the profit
A prophet just like moses, if moses look like shaka
Zulu, my. 44 loaded, I'm aimin' at nirvana
My bitch look like madonna, they starin' at katana
Waiter still ain't brought the chopsticks
Should have brought the chopper
Uber driver in the cockpit look like jeffrey dahmer
But he lookin' at me crazy
When we pull up to the projects

See, this weight is on my shoulders
Pray jehovah lift me up
And my pain is never over, pills and potions fix me up
I just want to live it up, can a motherfucker breathe?
Life ain't always what it seems, so please just lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up

We love our neighborhood
So all my brothers bang the hood
I never vote for presidents
The presidents that changed the hood
Is dead and green, was standin'
On this mezzanine in paris, france
Feel despairs cause most my homies
Never finna get this chance
All these white folks chanting
When I asked 'em where my niggas at?
Goin' crazy, got me goin' crazy, I can't get wit' that
Wonder if they know, I know they won't go
Where we kick it at
Ho, this shit ain't gryffindor, we really killin', kickin' doors
Fight between my conscious
And the skin that's on my body
Man, I need to fight the power
But I need that new ferrari
Man, I breathe in, bleed this, poppy street
I shot them guns cause talk is cheap
Bow your head and pray, okay, now walk wit' me

See, this weight is on my shoulders
Pray jehovah lift me up
And my pain is never over, pills and potions fix me up
I just want to live it up, can a motherfucker breathe?
Life ain't always what it seems, so please just lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up

vince staples - like it is

I tell it like it is, then how it could be

Heaven or hell boy, freedom or jail boy
A Jansport bag full of shit I could sell for
The higher, the low boy, just me and my homeboys
The police kill us so we made up our own laws
Been fighting this long war
there's shells in this shores sand
Still young but a grown man, could tell by my stash
Been stackin' money and problems
as I wait for the rapture
Death never been no threat, I be chillin', relaxin'
Everybody bleed

I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To make it up to heaven, despite the things I've done
I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To make my momma proud, feel like her only son
I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
With everything I need, with everything I want
I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To do it like nobody has ever done

When I was in seventh grade
my grandfather told me don't get caught
Lovin' the streets cause they never gonna love you back
But I feel like it's all we got so it's all we really do love
At the end of the day I feel like the problem
is the people that control
It don't really come from here
so they can't do nothing but look down on us
We look at them, we see somebody
that could help but they look at us
and all they see is a nigga
It don't really matter anyway
we all gon' die one day man, one day

Do doves cry when the black man dies
or do we croak with crows
The young catch gun shots
the old catch the holy ghost
Ho I love not, I never seen no pot of gold
Just ball windows and six fours with no switches
Was broke with no bitches, she love me though
You'll kill me if it make you richer
what you screaming, you my brother for
Heart is where the hatred is, the brain
that stained the love below
And life is what you make it
so I'm makin' money for my folks

I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To make it up to heaven, despite the things I've done
I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To make my momma proud, feel like her only son
I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
With everything I need, with everything I want
I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To do it like nobody has ever done

When most people look at a person who does what I
Do they look at us with these preconceived notions as if
It's a set way for us all to be
but we all people at the end
Of the day so I wonder why
we don't treat each other like it
You're looking at a person telling them
that they story don't
Matter when they're no better than me
walkin' down the streets tryna shoot at somebody
'Cause all we got is these dreams man
and y'all ain't never had to not have nothing
And that's the last thing you want from anybody
Is to not really have nothing

I been through hell and back, I seen my momma cry
Seen my father hit the crack
then hit the set to flip a sack
I done seen my homies die then went on rides
to kill 'em back
So how you say you feel me
when you never had to get through that?
We live for they amusement
like they view us from behind the glass
No matter what we grow into
we never gonna escape our past
So in this cage they made for me
exactly where you find me at
Whether it's my time to leave or not
I never turn my back

I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To make it up to heaven, despite the things I've done
I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To make my momma proud, feel like her only son
I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
With everything I need, with everything I want
I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To do it like nobody has ever done

vince staples - loca

Baby

Know your sick of all the same old thangs
Same club wit' the same champagne
Backwoods, tryin' to burn your brain
Wit' a broke-ass nigga in the Carmax Range
You ain't nothin' but a vibrant thang
Ass too thick for your 5' 10" frame
Want to spend all night in your nine lives?
Get to purrin' when that liquor get to burnin'
Get it crackin', why you actin' like a virgin?
Where it come from, mama or the surgeon?
You paid for it, did you pray for it? Get twerkin'
And a nigga gotta sit and wait for it, is it worth it?
Why I ask when I already know?
Don't mind me, mind already gone
Nigga better not keep callin' ya phone
Have my dogs in the yard at his home

Baby
You know you drive me crazy

Girl, you lookin' like somethin' out of King
Magazine, fifteen in the magazine
Hope a nigga don't run up tweakin'
I'm tryna to have a good time this evening
91 Freeway, eastbound, speedin'
Late night but the face right, I need it
Mando, I'm the man though, you see it
Niggas wanna kill me, so I gotta keep it
I ain't really into clubs, into nightlife
Only kick it wit' the thugs, I ain't never did a drug
Weed blowin' what I does, need your mind right
They won't ever catch a nigga at the stoplight
What your life like?
Would you ride for a nigga, die for a nigga?
Court room lie for a nigga?
Switch up to set up a snitch on a nigga?
Maybe, still gon' drive me crazy

Baby
You know you drive me crazy

Siempre quiere estar en la calle gusta con
Amigos como pendejo y nunca quieres estar en la casa
Tienes cosas que hacer en la casa también
Siempre quieres estar con ellos
y nunca quieres estar conmigo what the fuck
Yo no sé que vas hacer
but you need to get your shit together
Because a mi no me vas a tratar
como ninguna otra pendeja estupido

vince staples - norf norf

Bitch you thirsty, please grab a Sprite
My Crips lurkin', don't die tonight
I just want to dance wit' you, baby
Just don't move too fast, I'm too crazy
Man down, down the ave and get shaded
Take a nigga mind off that
We can dip, fuck in the whip, slide right back
In the function, one wrong word, start bustin'
Put that on my Yankee hat
I'm a gangsta Crip, fuck gangsta rap
Where the ladies at? Where the hoes? Where the bitches?
Every real nigga know the difference
Bandana brown like the dope daddy shootin' in the kitchen
Real Norfside nigga, never went to Poly, Wilson or Cabrillo
Cocaine color of a creole
T-scrap movin' for the d-lo, what he know?

I ain't never ran from nothin' but the police
From the city where the skinny carry strong heat
Norfside, Long Beach, Norfside, Long Beach

Hit the corner, make a dollar flip
And split the dollars wit' my mama children
Folks need Porsches, hoes need abortions
I just need y'all out of my business
Never no problem, playin' no pitches
Never no problem, sprayin' no witnesses
No face, no case, been wit' the shit
Hopped out broad day then emptied clips
Cut class cause it wasn't 'bout cash
School wasn't no fun, couldn't bring my gun
Know when change gon' come like Obama would say
But they shootin' everyday 'round my mama and them way
So we put a Ak where Kiana and them stay
And that's for any nigga say he got a problem wit' me
How I'm Crippin' where I'm livin', come and follow me
Pistol poppin', Poppy Street

I ain't never ran from nothin' but the police
From the city where the skinny carry strong heat
Northside, Long Beach, Northside, Long Beach

Nate Dogg still here cause of niggas like me
Police still scared cause of niggas like me
In the hood like a dollar sweet tea or a Louis Burger
You ain't wit' the business, nigga
Who you murdered? You ain't heard of Coldchain
Best thang, smokin' out the city
Ridin' 'round wit' the same shotgun that shot Ricky
Lil' nigga should've zig-zagged, then he got his back wet
Now he runnin' Norfside, niggas better fact-check
Frontin' wit' the gun talk, I ain't heard a clap yet
All my niggas from street, they a nigga best yes
'Cept for Little Halftime, Brody bangin' five blocks
Sorry, I hit your homie five times, better grab chalk
Did it, got away with it out the Civic
We Crippin', Long Beach City, pay a visit
Park Ramona, pop blocked a corner
Givin' hell 'til it's frozen over, I ain't never ran from nothin'

I ain't never ran from nothin' but the police
From the city where the skinny carry strong heat
Northside, Long Beach, Northside, Long Beach

vince staples - señorita

[Hook: Future]
9 millimeter, my brothers my keeper
Was serving that ether before I did features
My mamacita, she know how to greet me
She know how to keep me
She better not get

[Verse 1: Vince Staples]
Fuck ya dead homies, run ya bread homie
Got some lead for me, I'm on Artesia
Parked in my Beamer bumping my own shit
I'm focused, they stuck on that dull shit
Livin' for that True Religion is broke shit
I can spend that on a Mac with a long clip
Fly in that Benz but you hide in that Focus
My nigga just focus, I'm tryin' to paint you a picture
We stuck in the moment
My burner gets stuck if I shoot it too much
So a nigga resorted to domin'
That's somebody's son but a war to be won
Baby either go hunt or be hunted
We crabs in a bucket, he called me a crab
So I shot at him in front of the Douglas
I cannot be fucked with, we thuggin' in public

[Hook: Future]
[Verse 2: Vince Staples]
What means the world to you?
Is it a fast life, money and clothes?
Probably fuckin' these hoes
What would you murder for?
Will your name hold weight when the curtains closed?
Nigga caught one case and I heard he told
Snitch get a full clip and closed casket
Won't hug your bitch, when the ho ratchet
Cold jumper, been shootin', no practice
Been tourin', whip foreign, coupe crashin'
Still banging Two-9, they're too nasty
Still "fuck the police" they won't catch me
My feature too pricey, don't ask me
Go hard 'til Goyard on my baggage
He mad we won't fight, I'm gon' tag him
Mask up at midnight and start clappin'
Kids crying, still snipin', no lackin'

[Hook: Future]
[Outro: Snoh Aalegra]
I don't have a reason, oh but I
Ill get in your mind
I keep you loaded and ready right here beside of me
I'll pull up on you
I'll pull up on your mind
I'll pull up on you
I'll pull up on your mind
I'll pull up on you
I'll pull up on you
I'll pull up on you
I'll pull up on your mind

vince staples - street punks

I ain't worried about the police
I ain't worried about these little niggas
Talking about they hold heat
I ain't stressing going broke
I don't never leave them residences alone, keep it on me
I'm the nigga that you quote
I'm the only conversation
If you speaking up on long beach
Get to acting like you know
Don't be acting like you bold, get it cracking at a show
Heard the feds taking pictures, let a motherfucker pose
Tryna be the only crippin' nigga sitting in the vogue
Better put me on the cover, undercovers at my home
Tryna catch a nigga slippin', but I'm stickin' to the flow
Heard these niggas flippin' coke
Why the fuck these niggas broke?
If there's shooters in the squad
What's the bodyguard for?
You ain't calling me collect
And I ain't pickin' up the phone
Got some homies from the set
Who ain't never comin' home
You wouldn't know about it

You a street punk
You a muthafuckin' street punk
No one know about you
You a street punk
You a muthafuckin' street punk
This'll blow up at you
Where the cash at, where the cash at?
Where ya pass at, where ya stash at?
Bend my last rack doing head at
Why? cause you a muthafuckin' street punk!

I don't know if ya heard of me
But you heard them shots on the block
It's a murder scene
Go on call the cops, open heart, durin' surgery
Now his breathing stopped
Stupid niggas should of knew we tripping
Now we in the box, winchester's
Hundred in the box, smith wesson
Stuff it to the top and we coming to your spot
Knocking on the door, askin' where he at
Playin' games then we kick it down, everybody flat
On the ground, kids get kidnapped, go and ask 'bout it
Well you know how we rock it, nigga
You know who we wackin' now
You ain't never caught a body, know it
Cause you talkin' 'bout it
Catch me off a court and outta
You a motherfucking street punk

You a street punk
You a muthafuckin' street punk
No one know about you
You a street punk
You a muthafuckin' street punk
This'll blow up at you
Where the cash at, where the cash at?
Where ya pass at, where ya stash at?
Bend my last rack doing head at
Why? cause you a muthafuckin' street punk!

vince staples - summertime

This could be forever, baby
This could be forever, maybe
Do you like the sunshine, do you like the snow?
Do you wanna talk about it, or be alone?
I think that you should know that
this could be forever, baby

Open up your eyes and tell me whatcha thinkin'
Open up your mind, and tell me whatcha seein'
Inside of me, where I be fussin', fuckin' up this evenin'
I probably couldn't fix it if I knew the reason
Up on the sea, where I see you fallin' in the deep end
Is it love? I would really love to know the meanin'
What's the grudge that you're holdin'?
Hold my hand let me take you to the land
Where the ocean and the sands are meetin'
Look at the sun, all we need to see to know our freedom
Open up your heart, if we don't love then we fall apart
This could be forever, baby
I never seen you wetter, baby
Then when the tears fall soakin' up your sweater, baby
I didn't mean harm, don't make me regret it, baby
Cause if I never knew ya, I could never do this to ya
Hope you understand, they never taught me
how to be a man
Only how to be a shooter, I only need the time to prove it

Cause this could be forever, baby
This could be forever, baby
This could be forever, baby
This could be forever maybe
Do you like the sunshine, do you like the snow?
Do you wanna talk about it, or be alone?
I think that you should know
that this could be forever, baby

My teachers told me we was slaves
My mama told me we was kings
I don't know who to listen to
I guess we somewhere in between
My feelings told me love is real
But feelings known to get you killed
My feelings if I miss it's true
I spend my moments missin' you
I'm searchin' for atonement, do I blame my darker tone?
I know somethings are better left unsaid
and people left alone
Pick up the phone
Don't leave me alone in this cruel, cruel world

vince staples - war ready

Softly as if I played piano in the dark
Found a way to channel my anger now to embark
The world's a stage and everybody's
Got to play their part
God... with the signal clear as day
Put my glock a... put my glock away
I got a stronger weapon
That never runs out of ammunition
So I'm ready for war okay

Born ready, war ready, born ready
War ready, born ready, war ready
War ready, your boys' lost already

My bitch look like mona lisa
Hammers busting like a soda in the freezer
Think I'm heading to ibiza
Need a breather from the tripping
Either that or I'm embracing silly
Bite the bullet, tryna fight the feeling
Fuck around and pull it, push it to the limit
Ain't a thing to a g
Life give lemons, nigga hang from a tree
Coke game all came in a dream
Woke up feeling like the walls caved in
Fucked to the death, never gave in
Write that on the grave that I get laid in
Heaven, hell, free, jail, same shit
County jail bus, slave ship, same shit
A wise man once said
That a black man better off dead
So I'm, war ready

On 65 I tell the truth, no lies
The sheets and crosses turned to suits and ties
In black america, can you survive?
They made a nuisance once the noose is tied
We gentrified, we victimized, we fighting for survival
No hopes and dreams, just leave us be
We leanin' on the bible
They preyin' on us, prayin' for a better day tomorrow
Hide the fear behind this here bravado

I wake up feeling like I am the coldest nigga breathing
Look in the mirror like goddamn
I know they wanna be him
I wake up feeling like I am the realest nigga walking
So watch your step
And watch that shit you're talking, okay?
(okay, okay, okay, okay, okay)
So watch the shit that you say, okay?
(okay, okay, okay, okay, okay)
So watch the shit that you say

We black scared for real, was bred to kill
Been leavin' niggas hangin', what you sayin'?
Don't shake my hand unless you're passin' payment
Keep your salutations, need my forty acres
Why they hate us?
Why they want to rape us for our culture?
They greet us, feed us, bleed us
Then they leave us for the vultures
They break the grill, get off with millions
Tryna to break their focus
Mo ten the man to mow a lawn, the hopeless

I wake up feeling like I am the coldest nigga breathing
Look in the mirror like goddamn
I know they wanna be him
I wake up feeling like I am the realest nigga walking
So watch your step and watch that shit
You're talking, okay?
(okay, okay, okay, okay, okay)
So watch the shit that you say, okay?
(okay, okay, okay, okay, okay)
So watch the shit that you say

I'm in that 745
Hope I can come scoop you up 'round 7: 45
Slide 'round with my drop top up or down, you down to ride?
Looked into my eyes and told me: Daddy sure you right

All my life man I want fast cars, Nascars
All my life I want runway stars, Kate Moss
All my life I want waves at my front door
No green grass, no porch
I just want sea shores
All my life
All my life pretty women done told me lies
All my life pretty women done told me lies
All my life pretty women done told me lies
Told me lies, told me lies

I'm in that 745
Hope I can come scoop you up 'round 7: 45
Slide 'round with my drop top up or down, you down to ride?
Looked into my eyes and told me: Daddy show you right

Eyes can't hide your hate for me
Maybe you was made for the Maybelline
Spent so much tryna park the car
Barely got a tip for the maître d'
You head straight to the oyster bar
I tread light each time we speak
Play too rough might break ya heart
And them glass shoes ain't made to walk
These lonely streets
Unpaved, unscathed
Morning dew's giving you the coldest feet
Said that you was comin' through after dark
To look at the stars and hardly speak
This thing called love real hard for me
This thing called love is a God to me
And we all just God's property
So feel free to fulfill the prophecy

Adam, Eve
Apple trees
Watch out for the snakes baby
Open streets
Ocean breeze
We should get away, baby

[Chorus]
I'm in that 745
Hope I can come scoop you up 'round 7: 45
Slide 'round with my drop top up or down, you down to ride?
Looked into my eyes and told me: Daddy show you right

Hope I can come scoop you up 'round 7: 45
Slide 'round with my drop top up or down, you down to ride?
Looked me in my eyes and told me: Daddy show you right
