Parents Lyrics

[Verse 2]
Nigga, nigga, nigga—let a nigga level with ya
How the hell you gon' be broke and always be the bigger spender?
Stories sweeter than the Splenda that was thrown inside the blender
So you wanna get crunk while you mix it with the liquor
Nigga, people like you, I don't get ya
Claimin' you a baller but your momma living with ya
Better look inside the picture, 'cause you ain't getting richer
Now it's hard to see his son 'cause the momma took him with her

[Chorus]
Your momma ain't shit, your daddy ain't shit
And then you realize that life is a bitch
With a dirty white tee and some dirty ass kicks
And you got no money, so you can't feed the jit
Your momma ain't shit, your daddy ain't shit
And then you realize that life is a bitch
Got no education, so you got to be the chick
That strip for a living 'cause you gotta pay the rent


[Verse 3]
Let 'em do whatever; it's whatever, they endeavor
From the streets to the clubs, to the guns, to the cheddar
Till you get a phone call, email, or a letter
That your jit locked up or he dead on the stretcher
Better parenting is the main pressure
Your daughter got kids but wasn't taught about pleasure
Your kids are the treasure, the love you couldn't measure
Will end up in the hole if you don't get it together

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
