[Chorus]
Ayy, mama slammed the doors on the Coupe De Ville (Coupe De Ville)
The lies feel good, but the truth is real (Truth Is real)
My uncle on the porch lighting Newport buds (Newport buds)
My brother on the corner and he tryna re-up
And there I am, just a little man (There I am)
Watching days go by (Go by)
Uh and there I am, just a little man (There I am)
Watching days go by (Go by)

[Verse 1]
Uh, I sit and think about the times
When my Uncle 2T used to sell dimes around my nana house
Ass-whoopings handed out frеquently
Although he had the dеcency to chop up a few beats for me
Which awakened a beast in me, that was 2003
The corner store might as well have been a thousand miles from me
We couldn’t go there
It was a murder scene just last week, police packed streets
It was the local star athlete seen from the back seat
He could’ve been the next Lamar Jack, but got carjacked
The type of s*it that made me grateful I was watching Star Trek
Black mothers with pale faces
Courtroom filled with male gazes
A cold world where every day, Hell raises

[Pre-Chorus]
From North Privette Street to Silver Hill Drive
Where every day’s a gamble but s’til we survive
Another young n!gga dead, another fish fry
Just a little man watching from the back of the ride until

[Chorus]
Mama slammed the doors on the Coupe De Ville (Coupe De Ville)
The lies feel good, but the truth is real (Truth is real)
My uncle on the porch lighting Newport buds (Newport buds)
My brother on the corner and he tryna re-up

And there I am, just a little man (There I am)
Watching days go by (Go by)
Uh and there I am, just a little man (There I am)
Watching days go by
Yeah, I remember it like it was yesterday, ah

[Verse 2]
Mama thought I had Tourette’s syndrome when I was younger (Fu*k)
S*it, I can’t wait ’til I’m grown, I would say only in my mind
‘Cause if I thought of muttering a reply
She would put the meat, ma, meat to my eye
I grew up with three sisters, I was sensitive and shy
They used to roast me and then be like, ‘Look, he ’bout to cry’
Haha, fu*k that, I ain’t no b!tch, I’m down to ride
But I was not a thug, I pissed the bed ’til I was nine
And it was at the park I learned to swing, how to slide
How to smoke, how to drive, how to drink, how to fight
Tagging s*it, I would post up right on the sign
Working on my shade and write your name if you pay me
And school was just a place that I show off for the ladies
First day of class, I’m showing up in my Stacies
Skip resistant CD player, but b!tch, don’t try to play me
In my headphones what I been working on lately

[Chorus]
Mama slammed the doors on the Coupe De Ville (Coupe de Ville)
Papa said I got some big shoes to fill (Shoes to fill)
My uncle on the porch smoking Newport buds (Newport buds)
My brother on the corner and he’s tryna re-up
And there I am, just a little man (There I am)
Watching days go by (Go by)
And there I am, just a little man (There I am)
Watching days go by (Go by, go by, woah)
