Turf (Explicit) - Aminé

Written by：J. Ho/Adam Daniel

Walking on the pavement I chipped my pride and my teeth on

The girl I grew up with lives a couple houses down

The 8 bus run the same

Dogs howl when the train comes like my ex girl and next girl

Used to rock the S curl

Wanted me a Nextel but my momma copped a Razr

That's why I couldn't blame her

Flippin' through my past like I used to flip the phone

They kickin' out the blacks and all the houses getting clones

Friends used to do pills and only eat at Du's Grill

The food was pretty good but the times was better

These are the only days I missed

Like the first shawty I kissed

I used to have dreams now I dream

I look around and I see nothing in my neighborhood

Not satisfied don't think I'll ever wanna stay for good

Packed up my bags told mom and dad I've gotta go go

And once I do they'll finally see the inner me

Everybody wanna be a star

Everybody want a nice car

Everybody wanna live great have a good damn time never trip with the law

The popo up in PO

Dirtier than BO

Bullies from the past act like I'm they f**king hero uh

Livin' in LA for the weather I facetime mom when I miss her

I got some homies that'll never leave my hometown

When I pull up to the corner it smell like Miley Cyrus

I told 'em I don't smoke they say boy you f**kin' wildin'

Innocent and young

Reckless and we dumb

Our heart is like our earth and memories the sun

I look around and I see nothing in my neighborhood

Not satisfied don't think I'll ever wanna stay for good

Packed up my bags told mom and dad I've gotta go go

And once I do they'll finally see the inner me

Mentality the same from my folks

Momma wanna see me happy she don't wanna see me broke

I said bread wine sauvignon rastafar babylon

You can never die if I live it like a prize hey

Who knows who I am who knows who I are

Most people pretty sketch like a night at Echo Park

That's why I just keep it cool but my time is in a leisure

Everytime I'm home I catch emotion like a seizure

I cut the first night we f**k around

I put my finger in her bootyhole

'Cause you know you gotta test the water with hoes

I slip and slide through the times in my youth

What's the age too young to worry too old to dream

What's the age imagination to me tragedy to some

What's the age I guess we'll find out when we're older touché

I look around and I see nothing in my neighborhood

Not satisfied don't think I'll ever wanna stay for good

Packed up my bags told mom and dad I've gotta go go

And once I do they'll finally see the inner me

Oh

Ooh oh ooh oh yeah

Ooh ooh oh yeah ooh

Yeah eah eah eah eah

Oo yeah eah eah eah

Ohhhh hmm

Ohhhh hmm

Hmm

Hmm
