Graveyards and Penetentaries Song Lyrics

Feel like I lost my soul, selling O's, fucking hoes in the dark, babe
And we did it all, double cross, triple crossed for the love of the cocaine
Triple beam, put me in the Balmain jeans
Louboutins squeaky clean, young nigga with a dream
I feel like the sun falling down on me
So I got the drum, hundred rounds with me
So many nightmares of niggas downing me
I cry so many tears, feel like it's drowning me
Praying that they never put an end to me
Young niggas turned to memories
Graveyards and penitentiaries
Graveyards and penitentiaries

Penitentiaries, bullet holes and caskets
Young niggas, they vanished for the love of that bad bitch
That bad bitch, and you ain't peep what was happening
When your homie started ratting, and then they came in and grabbed you

They nabbed you
Three letters turned to four letters
Life sentence mean you in the prison forever
And them hoes ain't writing back
So don't even waste your time sending hoes letters
Got my nigga in the graveyard resting
They say ain't no lesson realer than that graveyard lesson
I don't even play no checkers, this is chess
I can't never let any of y'all check us
They say every soul shall taste death
I pray they made that boy grave spacious
Rigor mortis, embalming fluid and makeup
For niggas that played us

Feel like I lost my soul, selling O's, fucking hoes in the dark, babe
And we did it all, double cross, triple crossed for the love of the cocaine
Triple beam, put me in the Balmain jeans
Louboutins squeaky clean, young nigga with a dream
I feel like the sun falling down on me
So I got the drum, hundred rounds with me
So many nightmares of niggas downing me
I cry so many tears, feel like it's drowning me
Praying that they never put an end to me
Young niggas turned to memories
Graveyards and penitentiaries
Graveyards and penitentiaries
