KOTA The Friend - Luke Cage Lyrics

 Song Lyrics Luke Cage by KOTA The Friend

Remember running for the

buses in the train? Uh Remember we was broke and had to hop the train? Uh Remember when she let you get the second base?

Smokin' Reggie on the school roof, trust me bro, it's safe, uh

Suppressed most of my teen life

Was hopin' they would go with the rewrite

I always had a dream to be as bright as the streetlights

I feel like I'ma cheat death the way that I cheat life, yeah

I took all of my problems and turned them shits into dollars

I stay away from the drama, I sit and watch like iguanas

My family tree is Brooklyn for generations, this city my education

Brownsville, Clinton Hill and Gowanus

I'd rather keep my ana over Dolce & Gabanna

I'm the chosen one, king over kindness, son of T'Challa

Me and all my brothers was for the streets like Madonna

And now we out in Italy sippin' and eatin' pasta

It's a new day, if you ain't on this ship, you is too late

You mixin' D'USSÉ with the Kool-Aid

My flow is like the water, call me Bobby like Boucher

Took a couple Ls, still a legend like Cool J

I think I'm finishin' the chapter, 'bout to flip to a new page

People fightin' nature, talkin' 'bout, "I don't do change"

Paint the perfect picture, throw that shit in a new frame

I show up when I'm needed, save my city like Luke Cage, yeah
