Nate Lyrics - Singles - Vince Staples

As a kid all I wanted was to kill a man 

Be like my daddy's friends, hopping out that minivan 

Chrome '38s spinning like a ceiling fan 

Crying on my momma's phone swearing he a different man 

Talking to me monotone, hardly ever coming home 

Knew he was the villain never been a fan of Superman 

Beaten on my momma in the kitchen screaming: 

"Bitch you better listen when I speak my mind!" 

Used to think he was unbreakable he did fed time 

But made sure a nigga plate was full and I shined 

Was walking in the first day of school new J's, and all of that 

Football was cornerback, never made a game I played for Compton High 

But my daddy was the man that would be suicide 

Picked me up from visitation in the newest ride 

Always told me that he loved me, fuck his foolish pride 

As a kid all I wanted was to kill a man

Cause my daddy did it, eyes bloodshot 

With the caddy tinted, fuck handouts 

Fuck the county building, never seen that 

Catch him riding round the city with the seat back 

With the seat back, with the seat back 

Catch him ride round the city with the seat back 

With the seat back, with the seat back 

Catch him ride round the city with the seat back 

As a kid all I wanted was a hundred grand 

Uncle counting money while my daddy cut him grams 

Made me promise that this shit would never touch my hands 

And it never did said it'd make me be a better man 

Smoking in the crib, hiding dip inside of soda cans 

Black bandana on his arm, needle in his hand 

Momma trying to wake him up, young so I ain't understand 

Why she wouldn't let my daddy sleep, used to see him stand 

Out in the alley through my window 

Drinking Hen' with his homies blowing cig' smoke 

Lights flashing now he running from the Winslows 

Hear him screaming from my momma at the backdoor 

Sometimes she wouldn't open it, sitting on the couch 

Face emotionless, I don't think they ever noticed that I noticed it 

As a kid all I wanted a hundred grand

Cause my daddy did it, eyes bloodshot 

With the caddy tinted, fuck handouts 

Fuck the county building, never seen that 

Catch him riding round the city with the seat back 

With the seat back, with the seat back 

Catch him ride round the city with the seat back 

With the seat back, with the seat back 

Catch him ride round the city with the seat back 

No, No, No, No 

Niggas die everyday don't know how to live, don't know how to make sense 

25 to life today just got locked away, all that just to pay rent 

Now they're all bound on the slave ship 

And they left behind their patience 

Thought that'd last them for a little 

Pass it down for my kin, ohh 

Cause my daddy did it, eyes bloodshot 

With the caddy tinted, fuck handouts 

Fuck the county building, never seen that 

Catch him riding round the city with the seat back 

With the seat back, with the seat back 

Catch him ride round the city with the seat back 

With the seat back, with the seat back 

Catch him ride round the city with the seat back
