The Parables

The Parables Lyrics

[Intro]
Got to ride with ’em, with the ride with ’em
With the roll with ’em, woah, woah, woah
Tell ’em, “Ride with ’em,” tell ’em, “Ride with ’em”
Tell ’em, “Ride with ’em,” woah, woah, woah
I tell the odd, gotcha, odd, getcha, woo
Check it out, nigga, woah, woah, woah
High nigga, go ride with ’em, nigga, woah, woah, woah
Uh, yeah

[Verse 1]
I seen some sh*t within my lifetime, my light shine bright
Protect your energy from poison when the python strike
My first mistake was doin’ robberies on Niken bikes
Watch my moves and I’ma show you what a icon like
Y’all let bygones be bygones, right?
Well, nigga, f**k your truths, bust your move
And if that nigga touch your shoes
You better blast on ’em and on my mama
Nigga, I’ma get that cash on ’em, hunnid on the dash on ’em
Swerve, born from the trench, you from the ‘burbs
And nigga, f**k that early bird
And nigga, I’ma get this motherf**kin’ chicken
And if a nigga ever got a problem with me
We can f**kin’ solve it, on my mama, nigga
I just been itchin’ to prove myself
I just pray throughout the struggle I don’t lose myself
Glocks, no safety, Plaxico, I might shoot myself
They catchin’ bullets like two Odells and, nigga, you gon’ tell
But listen

[Chorus]
I can tell you ’bout the time I was goin’ hard up in the paint
And I can tell you sh*t the other niggas can’t, let me tell you
I can tell you by the time I had the drop a nigga in the rain
And I can tell the sh*t I did up off the drank, let me tell you
I can tell you ’bout the time I signed a deal for twenty bands
And used that sh*t to get my brother out the can, let me tell you
I can tell you ’bout the time I had a penny and a plan
I can tell that sh*t but you won’t understand, let me tell you, nigga

[Verse 2]
First and foremost, for every door that’s opened a door close
Beat a nigga and take his board O’s, upgrade my wardrobe
And Lord knows livin’ like this, it leads a short road
A dead end, or prison time, where we was headin’
Instead win, I got bread, broke it with bredren
Eyes open, leave the house, move like a veteran
Made a couple dollars from come ups, my niggas flexin’
They got a problem, then I can make some corrections
Okay, cool, still with the same niggas since grade school
Give a f**k about your shade room when I had made room
For everybody on that late moon, the word to Rae Sremm
Had to bring the motherf**kin’ swang on ’em
I ain’t even wanna have to blink on ’em
That Lam’ truck got a full tank on ’em
But, you f**kin’ better not look at me wrong
It’s certain sh*t that I can say on this song, but let me tell you

[Chorus]
I can tell you ’bout the time I was goin’ hard up in the paint
And I can tell you sh*t the other niggas can’t, let me tell you
I can tell you by the time I had the drop a nigga in the rain
And I can tell the sh*t I did up off the drank, let me tell you
I can tell you ’bout the time I signed a deal for twenty bands
And used that sh*t to get my brother out the can, let me tell you
I can tell you ’bout the time I had a penny and a plan
I can tell that sh*t but you won’t understand, let me tell you, nigga
