Squirrel’s SoundBeats…
I’m a stick up kid. Not really, I only “stick up” people’s affection. But I have a thing for Lyfe. This tune suits my mood now. Chillin, bit cynical, bit anti-social, bit miserable, bit fed up. For the ones who aren’t in the know: stick up kid = dude “specialized” in robbin’. I think robbin is actually exciting. I should check it myself one day. Whoever wants to try this experience wit me, let me know so we can plan a lil’ smthin’ .
Just for fun, we will then return the stolen good to its owner
An extensive post on Lyfe’s music later this week…
Track only:
Check the video [track's clean version] on the link below. I think it’s really good. Plus – if you liked the tune, it completes your perception of Lyfe and his msg:
Lyfe Jennings – Stick Up Kid (Official Music Video) –
Lyfe Jennings – Stick up kid
Rolling in my 2-door Monte Carlo
Lookin for somebody I can borrow
5 or 10 dollars ‘til tomorrow
I’m doin bad ya’ll uh-uhn
I just smoked my last pack of cigarettes today
Ever seen a nigga diggin in the ashtray
It’s a crumbling and humbling sight to see
I’m doing bad ya’ll uh-uhn
And they’r teasin’ me with these 23’s and these dvds in their ride
And they pass me by-by-by-by-by-by
And have the nerve to wonder why
I be robbin these niggas
I’m a stick up kid
That’s how I live, I admit it
I be robbin’ these niggas
I’m a stick up kid
And if you’r doing too much I’m coming to get it
[bis]
See lately I’ve been thinkin bout saving my soul
And do prayers make it to heaven from the ghetto ?
I asked all my friends but they all say they don’t know
It’s all bad ya’ll…
And the preacher talking bout some stuff he don’t know
When church done became a fuckin’ fashion show
And they won’t let a nigga in with these timbos
It’s all bad ya’ll
And they’r teasin’ me with these 23’s and these dvds in their ride
And they pass me by-by-by-by-by-by
And have the nerve to wonder why
I be robbin these niggas
I’m a stick up kid
That’s how I live, I admit it
I be robbin’ these niggas
I’m a stick up kid
And if you’r doing too much I’m coming to get it
Nobody knows the trouble I see
Nobody knows but me (3x)
