Luke Cage Lyrics

Remember running for the buses in the rain? 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 lifе, yeah
I took all of my problems and turned thеm 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 of Wakanda, 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
We 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, talking '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
