Shiloh’s Intro (Explicit) - Cordae

Lyrics by：Shiloh Young

Alright look I said I said

When I was nine that's my first time I held a 9

Put it on God man that must've been a sign

'Cause my mother she was strippin' she was always on his mind

While her boyfriend he was pimpin' he ain't have a lot of time

So he showed me where it was and showed me how to work it

Just in case a n***a run up in this b***h gotta murk him

Thirteen I was servin' n***a fifteen persons

N***a tryna be a c*****e cowboy Michael Irvin

N***a sixteen I was deep up in the trenches hoppin' fences

'Round that time they gave my boy a life sentence

But I still ain't learn n***a I was tryna burn n***as

Tryna put somebody in the grave or a urn n***a

Seventeen police whooped my a*s just for bein' Black

No talkin' silent guys give up where's the free in at

Seen my uncle in the prison s**t now it's me and that

Couldn't break the cycle like recycle they wan' see us back

Eighteen lions tigers bears I was livin' with 'em

Mm

Went to prison with 'em war business with 'em

I'm twenty-one my cellmate been down for thirty-five

He just tryna see the sun before he gotta die

So why would I go and cry

Got another passion

B***h

You don't know the struggle so you wouldn't understand

'Cause in my book my mama raised a man

'Cause I could've snitched on the beat to get me out the can

But I could tell you what I seen or what I lived

It's up to you

Or let my brother tell the story from a bird's-eye view
