Government Cheese

"Government Cheese" Lyrics by Vince Staples

I promise it’s no love lost

What that half acre house in the slums cost?

If I gave it my all, probably fall short

Tryna charge to the game? It’s a blood sport

Mic check, least that’s what it feel like

“Slow down, sit tight”, what they tell me

You should try walkin’ light with two left feet

Devils dance, prayin’ hands can’t protect me

On God

But I know if I prayed more, I could probably save more

Runnin’ through these bank notes, stressin’ as the waves roll by

Keep my fade low, I can’t let the grays grow

Just another day closer to my demise

Keep the gang ’round, least the ones that stayed down

Love to see they face smile, love to see they heads held high

Everybody gotta die, only question, is it Hell or in the sky, yeah

Just don’t forget to smile, don’t forget to smile

Know the world can weigh you down

Not now, then when? Not this, then how?

Don’t forget to smile, don’t forget to smile

Don’t you lose your inner child, not now

I got a call the other day

From my partner on the four yard in Pelican Bay

Popped his pistol once and them people put him away

Promised him he would never get to see the light of day

Asked how I was, said he seen me on ABC

Told him that I was good, wonder if he believed

Couldn’t tell him the truth, what kind of homie would I be?

Knowin’ these fifteen minutes the only time that he free

See, it’s hard to sleep when you the only one livin’ the dream

Hard to leave niggas hangin’ when you the money tree

Somethin’ about the gutter that make us hate each other

Had to bury my older brother, it humbled me

Pullin’ his plug like a trick from under my sleeve

Just the luck of the draw, don’t know who shuffle the cards

Heard his name is God, just pick up when I call

Right now, it’s free of charge

Just don’t forget to smile, don’t forget to smile

Know the world can weigh you down

Not now, then when? Not this, then how?

Don’t forget to smile, don’t forget to smile

Don’t you lose your inner child, not now
