Left Hollywood Lyrics - Meek Mill

I had to get out of Hollywood 

Get back to the trenches, they said they need me 

Little fish 

I used to cop my little reggie tryna feed myself 

My cousin had that work but I didn't need no help 

Man I was so fucked up I couldn't believe myself 

That's why I be at the jeweler tryna freeze myself 

'Cause my heart so cold, we ain't got no goals 

All these young niggas killin' like they ain't got no souls 

Talkin' Grand Marquis, before I cop my Rolls 

It was all so sweet until Dashawn told 

Really hurt my heart, ripped my feelings apart 

Out in Philly it's dark, we was really so scarred 

But actin' silly so hard but we just wanted some love 

Mama workin', daddy dead, I just wanted a hug 

Why you think we spillin' spade when we go to the club 

All my homies think I smoke, we just rollin' it up 

I'm stressed out, niggas got Jordans, feel left out 

So I went to chasin' them birdies, I went south, fuck it

I went from goin' to school, to totin' them tools and makin' a move 

Said I would win, they said I would lose, shit 

We're so confused, hope I don't make the news, oh Lord 

We was breakin' the rules, trappin' to get some food 

Risking freedom for shoes 

Knowin' that I don't need em, I'm spending money on jewels 

Jeweler like, "He's a fool" 

They told us that this was cool 

Caught my first case, it was me versus the state 

I just wanted some steak and some food on my plate 

Came up from shit I'm like "how can you hate" 

I'm just tryna be great, I survived with the snakes 

Look what they did to Lil Kodak and Gates' 

I can't lose faith, I just want shine like the stars in my wraith 

We go to war in fatigues like it's bape 

I don't feel safe, can't sleep without it 

Master with them P's yeah boy I'm 'bout it 'bout it 

Brought me to my knees back when everybody doubted 

Can't let my youngins see me fold, I'm too solid 

If I stand on it, I'ma stand on it 

Put some bags on the scale, put some grams on it 

This the only shit I knew I seen my man done it 

Tryna be like niggas who were never there for us 

We ain't have no guidance

I went from goin' to school, to totin' them tools and makin' a move 

Said I would win, they said I would lose, shit 

We're so confused, hope I don't make the news, oh Lord 

We was breakin' the rules, trappin' to get some food 

Risking freedom for shoes 

Knowin' that I don't need em, I'm spending money on jewels 

Jeweler like, "He's a fool" 

They told us that this was cool 

Coppers scoopin' niggas out their radar 

Niggas puttin' niggas in the graveyard 

Jobs told us beat it like an A&R 

So we play with heart, fuck it we gon' play it raw 

Cut the lights, told my momma they ain't stayin' off 

They killed my daddy and it turned me to a man, dog 

We play with rugers, play with Glocks, we ain't playin ball 

Shit we tryna stay alive it's a standoff 

My life for your life 

Go to war like we got like four lives 

Talkin' before like, all this lil' rap shit 

Where I'm from if you turn eighteen, then that's More Life 

For real nigga 

When you have no voice 

Ain't nobody hear us, so we ain't have no choice 

I went from goin' to school, to totin' them tools and makin' a move 

Said I would win, they said I would lose, shit 

We're so confused, hope I don't make the news, oh Lord 

We was breakin' the rules, trappin' to get some food 

Risking freedom for shoes 

Knowin' that I don't need em, I'm spending money on jewels
