Young cocaine Dream Go to sleep, like See the Grim Reaper and the nigga said, you know what I'm sayin' Yeah-yeah, yeah
[Verse] Like every night I dream a nigga tryna murder me Visions of my loved ones dialin' 9-1-1, emergency 'Cause I jacked a nigga and took his work, man, I made it work for me If he come back and kill me, I know this shit was business, man, I never take it personally Skinny black nigga, rich off rap, sweat on my own back Niggas ain't show me how to cook, had to fuck up my own batch Dumb high, Marty McFly Put down the crack, bet on myself Like I went back to the future with a rap almanac Had powder on my table, the label called for they offer back Harry on my line, I ain't got his bread, I can't call him back Plus I got a show, the promoters ain't got the dough for that These losses set me back, man, I'm literally sellin' dope to rap How can a nigga cope with that? Man, my uncle died off a overdose And the fucked up part about that is I know I supplied the nigga that sold it Put a pistol to my head, I was way too scared, drunk off emotions I'm drinkin' and takin' these drugs 'cause I can't numb the pain with smokin' Loner but I hate to be lonely I fuck a bitch, she fall in love, but I just wanna be homies If I fall off or get locked up she might just fuck on the homies Most niggas die over love for a bitch or havin' trust in they homies A skinny black nigga, rich off rap My nigga baby mom a fiend, can't keep his bitch off smack She called the police, now he doin' seven years for a sack He told me look after his kids, then a week later that bitch turned up whacked It's just the code, nigga (Yeah) I pray Allah protect my soul, nigga Lord give me the strength to ignore the things I can't control, nigga (Fear) 'Cause I was livin' by the code, nigga, yeah Gang
Started learning this guitar riff 7 months ago and I can finally comfortably say that I have it down I just under the tempo of this song. You guys have no idea how hard it was for me to do this but it is so worth it. It's definitely my favorite guitar riff in hip hop by far, and as a single riff I would place it among any riff really. It just blows my mind how good this is, and every time I hear it I still get goosebumps long after hearing it for the first time. Hell, I'm getting Goosebumps when I play it now. I don't have nearly the same upbringing that Freddie did. I wasn't on the street, but I had a rough home life and a lonely childhood. Something about the song takes me back.
I just realized where he got that sample at the end of the song with the dude talking about going at his Ops until they don’t want no more. Alchemist is slick with his samples/construction of his production.
Tampa Florida in this bih !
damn
One of the best rap songs ever truly
The way alchemist creates tension and releases it in his beats is magical
Young cocaine
Dream
Go to sleep, like
See the Grim Reaper and the nigga said, you know what I'm sayin'
Yeah-yeah, yeah
[Verse]
Like every night I dream a nigga tryna murder me
Visions of my loved ones dialin' 9-1-1, emergency
'Cause I jacked a nigga and took his work, man, I made it work for me
If he come back and kill me, I know this shit was business, man, I never take it personally
Skinny black nigga, rich off rap, sweat on my own back
Niggas ain't show me how to cook, had to fuck up my own batch
Dumb high, Marty McFly
Put down the crack, bet on myself
Like I went back to the future with a rap almanac
Had powder on my table, the label called for they offer back
Harry on my line, I ain't got his bread, I can't call him back
Plus I got a show, the promoters ain't got the dough for that
These losses set me back, man, I'm literally sellin' dope to rap
How can a nigga cope with that?
Man, my uncle died off a overdose
And the fucked up part about that is I know I supplied the nigga that sold it
Put a pistol to my head, I was way too scared, drunk off emotions
I'm drinkin' and takin' these drugs 'cause I can't numb the pain with smokin'
Loner but I hate to be lonely
I fuck a bitch, she fall in love, but I just wanna be homies
If I fall off or get locked up she might just fuck on the homies
Most niggas die over love for a bitch or havin' trust in they homies
A skinny black nigga, rich off rap
My nigga baby mom a fiend, can't keep his bitch off smack
She called the police, now he doin' seven years for a sack
He told me look after his kids, then a week later that bitch turned up whacked
It's just the code, nigga (Yeah)
I pray Allah protect my soul, nigga
Lord give me the strength to ignore the things I can't control, nigga (Fear)
'Cause I was livin' by the code, nigga, yeah
Gang
When that awwwwwwwe sample vocal comes in it reminds me of some type of nba video game. Like when creating a player or the pick ur team screen

What's the samples in this song?
una locura
I wish the guitar was a little lower.. I like sounds of the pads in the back more
This shit is amazing bro
Sounds like Jerry Garcia pulling them strings. Shout out Gibbs and Shout out Greatful Dead!
"give me the strength to ignore the thangs I can't control"
I stole someones rollerblades once
It gives me that Nas Death Anniversary vibe.
This song is too short. Need more!
This is just something else man
Guitar is so nice it reminds me of tosin abasi…ok maybe not THAT nice but still nice
Gibbs é embaçado! Sempre estará no meu top 5.
Growth is realizing this is the best song on Alfredo.
this gives me nujabes vibes
This album will go down as a classic
One of my favorite tracks on this classic album!! Can't help but to play this back over and over again!!
