Mud on Broad

Lyrics

[Verse 1] West side bottoms, hilltop nights Broad Street bullies, all hard looks and spite Sullivan Avenue, we used to roll deep Down 62, Pike speed, cuttin’ no sleep Thirsty Whale days, back when it was raw Jelly Roll back then, we was livin’ by the law Moved bales and bricks, had the whole block tense Kickin’ doors in the past, that was old nonsense Pop fat Jacks, Chrome glow on the glass Front Street, Red Zone, watch the time move fast Now I got kids, I got weight on my name Same old city, but I play a grown-man game [Pre-Chorus] We was deep in the mud Now we build with the mud Hands dirty, mind sharp Turn the struggle to a plus [Chorus] Out the mud now Out the mud now We done grown up Out the mud now Do it the right way Do it the right way Columbus made us We get paid the right way [Verse 2] Business calls, I’m on the move before dawn School run first, then I’m back to the phones Big-time talks, I don’t flex, I connect Every hand I shake gotta come with respect From the old days, I kept a scar in my chest But I’m teaching my sons how to do better than the rest No more running wild, no more chasing that stain I’m stacking every dollar while I’m staying in my lane West side to the south, got a name in the streets Not for the wrong reasons, I’m bringing real heat Chrome to the Red Zone, still know the terrain But I’d rather shake hands than go back to the pain [Pre-Chorus] We was deep in the mud Now we build with the mud Hands dirty, mind sharp Turn the struggle to a plus [Chorus] Out the mud now Out the mud now We done grown up Out the mud now Do it the right way Do it the right way Columbus made us We get paid the right way [Bridge] I seen the good, I seen the bad Turned a hard life into the best thing I had Kids in the backseat, bills in the stack Still got that hunger, but I’m never going back [Chorus] Out the mud now Out the mud now We done grown up Out the mud now Do it the right way Do it the right way Columbus made us We get paid the right way
