Chords for Maxo Kream "Roaches" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

[Em] My first time shooting a gun, I was like _ 13.
I was shooting it with my neighbor.
They had a shotgun.
And like the Fourth of July, they was hella country,
ghetto type shit.
Like we were popping firecrackers.
My dad was in the yard like, look at these,
I caught the Aziz.
It's y'all shooting the gun.
Uh-uh.
Just bring it down the valley or the whole neighborhood.
And once he went in the crib, I started busting the gun.
I'm like, hey bro, can I see it?
Boom, boom, boom. _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Em] _ _ _ I was staying with my grandma.
One bedroom, townhome, like nine people in that motherfucker.
That's how it was.
We had roaches and ants.
We used to have to like close the cereal box.
They're like, really like, you know what I'm saying?
Put this shit down so it won't be roaches
and ants inside that shit. _ _
Remember, roaches in my ass tray and roaches in my cereal.
Air Force knockouts with the Gucci Prim material.
On my street, we had a nigga named Hollywood.
He used to have like fake ass Gucci.
They sold all the hottest, fakest shit you could find.
Way before the iPhones, [Ab] Twitter, Graham socials.
I'm talking about next to church booths, mobiles.
Back when the FaceTap was for OG killers.
Now I'm saying, T-Dog's gonna be SoundCloud niggas.
When I was growing up, if a nigga had a FaceTap,
I couldn't even look him in the eye or something
because he was a real crazy ass nigga.
Now if a nigga had a FaceTap,
he all hype be SoundCloud ass, internet ass rapper.
It's like all the little suburbs, skate kids
trying to take all the gang shit and make it weak.
Remember back when music had content and metaphors.
Way before the mumble nonsense and popping handlebars.
I ain't no Joe Budden.
If a nigga hate it, call him Max O'Kreek, hell nah.
I just remember like when I was coming up,
it was storytelling, a lot of more content.
I like more real shit.
You can do whatever you wanna do.
You wanna do drugs, hey, do it, but be real about it.
You know what I'm saying?
Just keep it 1,000, keep it 100. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Oh, he gonna be mad.
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you.
So my dad, he a trick.
And he was tricking off of some females.
You know what I'm saying?
Had him in the hotel room.
Then some niggas ran in there trying to rob him.
And I don't know what he was thinking.
He, hey, hey, don't shoot, don't shoot.
He put his hand in front of the gun.
They blew his shit.
And I remember I had to come home from school.
He had like a cast on, but it was a hole in his hand.
I was like, ugh.
I was asking him like, yo, what happened to your hand?
He like, I broke it.
_ _ _ _ _ When I say _ Spree World _ Spinners,
I don't mean them ugly ass shoes.
We're on a test roll in the All-Star game
trying to get a deal.
I'm talking about like the actual re-riding spinners.
Re-riding spinners.
It be like on Doves, and you are stopping them.
Real speed spinning.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Line wire was pretty cool, as long as you download music.
It's when I tried to download Grand Theft Auto 3.
I tried to download it on a normal CD-ROM.
I didn't know what the fuck I was doing.
And that's when the computers fucked up.
And my dad used to use his computers for his business.
You feel me? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ My _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ uncle, man, he was a casual crackhead.
Like, nigga, he go smoke that work
and go hop in the normal crowd.
Don't be, like, you know what I'm saying?
Just blend in, just have the jokes.
But my other uncle, he's a motherfucker, man.
You feel me?
But yeah, I remember like my first time seeing him
and seeing what the fuck was going on.
Watching my uncle smoke, he was like,
damn, bro, you tripping. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm fighting with a steel chair.
Trying to be a wrestler.
Almost put me in a wheelchair.
Thankful for that Medicare, welfare, healthcare.
Me, my brother Madu, my cousin Lindo,
and my little baby brother Josh used to always wrestle.
Since Josh was the little nigga,
he was the cruiserweight.
Like him and Lindo, we used to do all the moves
on them niggas and shit.
But my little brother Madu was strong, you feel me?
He tried to put me in the torture rack,
but I was way bigger than him.
That nigga dropped me on my neck.
Fucked my shit up, but we used to always do that shit.
Break windows, break tables, break chairs.
We used to wrestle like a motherfucker. _ _ _ _
I can't even walk in the store
without this crazy ass friends about an ass hoes.
Back in the old four, a hoe said I wouldn't blow.
Now every show I go, three or four get me done.
I was up in Vegas at the Mayweather party.
Then my mama called me about Hurricane Harvey.
I'm getting called from my mama.
Why did she just be nosy?
Cause I'm putting this shit on Snapchat.
So I give it to the hotel, she still calling.
I pick up.
On the phone, I'm hearing water like splashing in the house.
She's like, it's water in the house.
I'm like, stop lying.
Said the house was flooded with water,
covered up the sofa.
And Paula rain drove, but she need me to come over.
Nowhere near sober, it was fucking up my night.
Like they gonna be all right.
Tomorrow I book a flight.
Woke up 40 minutes call.
She been calling all night.
Said there's no more food and light
and she been fighting for her life.
Told Toby, book the plane.
I gotta be there by the night.
But all this hurricane rain made the airport cancel flights.
I look on the news, they got airplanes that's under the water.
You don't hear me?
Like airplanes under the water and shit.
Like, it was crazy.
I'm like, what the fuck, how?
I'm thinking like, wow.
Praying that she don't drown.
Dear Lord, just get her out.
She worked her whole life to move the family out the hood.
Just [Em] to lose everything she had to a flood.
Donald Trump and Red Cross acting like some hoes.
People dying in their homes
because they couldn't get a boat.
Pops had a bad heart.
Last year he had a stroke.
In his bed, I was masked in a swimsuit, could float.
On the roof for three days before rescued by FEMA.
12 years later, same day, it's Katrina.
Like our family all through Houston.
So it was my family plus more families
and friends and shit like that.
People trying to get to my people getting stuck.
Basically it was like a no fly zone.
Like where my mama was.
They was letting boats and let them come in.
If you was in my shoes, you would probably be stressing.
But sometimes God here bless you and test you.
Every day I say my grace
because I could have lost my people.
I'm still fighting cases.
Me and my brothers fighting Rico.
_ 600K for the Bill Burns people.
Another 100K, I hope my lawyer got the cheat code.
Organized crime, don't bring money in London.
599, and that's the only offer.
