Sucks To Be You lyrics

[Intro]

Told Lee he'd be a millionaire

[Chorus]

Sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you

I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance

Runnin' through cartels and jumpin' through bombshells

I thought we would die growin' old, holdin' hands

It sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you

I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance

Jump over bombshells and runnin' through cartels

Thought we would die growin' old, holdin' hands

[Verse 1]

The story don't start off great, I'm a gorilla goin' ape

I'm just a street nigga tryna make it to a milli in all the wrong ways

I'm runnin' all the long plays, they said I was born the wrong shade

I shoulda made it five years ago, my nigga, I was really born late

I used to carry sticks in my clothes, carry work in my shoes

Below the poverty line, what you expect me to do?

Runnin' through this life until twenty-one, twenty-two

Until I had to make a choice, you helped me choose

[Pre-Chorus]

She said she believe in me, just keep on goin'

Just make sure when you get there, leave the door open

I said you know who I am, this kid from Brooklyn

I wish you still believed, even though tears are soaking

[Chorus]

Sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you

I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance

Runnin' through cartels and jumpin' through bombshells

I thought we would die growin' old, holdin' hands

It sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you

I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance

Jump over bombshells and runnin' through cartels

Thought we would die growin' old, holdin' hands

[Verse 2]

So I tell nobody 'bout my dreams, workin' at the hotel

'Cause I don't think confessions over there might go well

And goin' back to the hood means that I of course fail

You either kill or you're roadkill, so I said

Moved uptown, Kyra, you gave me a place to stay

Mama kicked me out back then, she did it ungraciously

Came home to all of the locks changed on New Year's Eve

I'm glad we're doin' better, we're both okay

I stayed there for like three years, oh, bless her heart and soul

She's worth a pot of gold

She's worth a thousand years of G-Wagons on the road

I made a promise, I'll keep it, won't ever betray those

[Pre-Chorus]

She said she believe in me, just keep on goin'

Just make sure when you get there, leave the door open

I said you know who I am, this kid from Brooklyn

I had abandonment issues, you left me broken

[Chorus]

Sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you

I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance

Runnin' through cartels and jumpin' through bombshells

I thought we would die growin' old, holdin' hands

It sucks to be you 'cause I woulda loved you

I'd watch the whole world burn to see you dance

Jump over bombshells and runnin' through cartels

Thought we would die growin' old, holdin' hands

[Outro]

It sucks to be you
