[Intro]
Yeah Nigga
You know what it is
Don’t be scared
I’m 22
She 21
[Hook]
Im 22 and I’m a thug nigga
Only thing I know in life, was be a drug dealer
She 21, lookin’ for answers
Only thing she knows in life, is be a dancer
Im 22 and I’m a thug nigga
Only thing I know in life, was be a drug dealer
She 21, lookin’ for answers
Only thing she knows in life, is be a dancer
[Verse 1]
If you came from the coldest life, then thrown your hands up
Made it through the coldest night, nigga then stand up
Lets get on some hoes tonight, go through Atlanta
Who dancin’ on the pole tonight, to throw the bands up
Niggas actin’ cold, bruh like, bitches is scandalous
We be moving souls, just like the blackest panther
The dope I brought to roll tonight stink like a Pamper
Ain’t the way we growed up right?, but what’s the answer
[Hook]
Im 22 and I’m a thug nigga
Only thing I know in life, was be a drug dealer
She 21, lookin’ for answers
Only thing she knows in life, is be a dancer
Im 22 and I’m a thug nigga
Only thing I know in life, was be a drug dealer
She 21, lookin’ for answers
Only thing she knows in life, is be a dancer
[Bridge]
I’m a drug dealer and she’s a dancer, dancer, dancer, dancer
I’m a drug dealer and she’s a dancer, dancer, dancer
I’m a drug dealer and she’s a dancer, dancer, dancer
I’m a drug dealer and she’s a dancer
Lord know we both looking for some answers
What you lookin’ for? What you tryna see?
Where you wanna go? Who you wanna be?
They wanna see you fall, they tryna see you crawl
Gotta shake em’ off, back against the wall
Gotta show em’ all, you gotta stand tall
[Hook]
Im 22 and I’m a thug nigga
Only thing I know in life, was be a drug dealer
She 21, lookin’ for answers
Only thing she knows in life, is be a dancer
Im 22 and I’m a thug nigga
Only thing I know in life, was be a drug dealer
She 21, lookin’ for answers
Only thing she knows in life, is be a dancer
