Desperados - Andy Mineo, Mali Music

You know I’m a wanted man

For reasons you won’t understand

Prices on my head, for like a hundred grand

Cause I’m wanted dead or alive

(Bang, bang!)

You woulda thought I was whippin' and pushin' and sellin' this dope

(Bang, bang!)

The way that they tell me to get out of town and then aim for the throat

(Bang, bang!)

They trying to ghost your boy, they pullin' the gun out the holster

(Bang, bang!)

But I’m doin' me, I’m doin' me like I’m 'posed to, yeah!

You’re smart

Out here like the Wild Wild West

Shawty right here with the wild, wild dress

They tell you can be more if you show less, hol' up

I been around the block a few times, I got a new mind, I’m lit

Man, I was sleepin' on futons, bread small as croutons

Now my business legit

How many beats do I got to poop on to prove I’m not a fluke?

I want true, a true sign a growth

For you find ways to refind yourself

You win when you lose, aye!

Seem like every team them got a Judas

But I don’t care

Give me a snake and I’ll make a nice pair of boots, yeah

I ain’t tryna be liked, man, I’m tryna be a light, bang!

I ain’t tryna make a livin', man, I’m tryna make a life, bang!

Ayo, that’s way different

Nowadays I pray different

Used to ask for mo' blessings

Now I thank Him for the ones He givin'

You know I’m a wanted man

For reasons you won’t understand

Price is on my head, for like 100k

Now they want me dead or alive

Bang!

They gunnin' for me now

Bang!

They got they weapons drawn

Bang!

They say get out of town

Cause I’m wanted dead or alive

How do you terrify a man that ain’t scared to die?

So while I got a mic, I’ma air the lies that paralyze my people

I live by the fear of God (uh)

I’m sick and tired of songs that don’t dignify a lady

But, baby we givin' them power

The moment you go out and buy it and give 'em yo' dollars

Why they try to define us by how many commas we got?

They don’t know what’s inside us

But let me be honest, there’s somethin' beyond us

Yo, homie, preach!

I gotta speak on my peace

Man, I can’t keep it a secret

The only way that you get acceptance is when you know you don’t need it, yeah

Freedom is a mindset, and I ain’t in my prime yet

Miner League and one sixteen, yeah

Them my folk I grind with

I think about all that time spent way before success

Get to see the kid shinin', that’s the glimmer from the sweat

Get up and go

Homie, we live by the code

We don’t got minutes to blow

Time is more precious than gold

Sharp with the flow

Mix it with lyrics that fix up your soul, oh

I ain’t tryna be liked, I’m tryna be a light, bang!

I ain’t tryna make a livin', man, I’m tryna make a life, bang!

Alright, now we some desperados (we are)

Livin' by the motto (you know)

If I die tonight, man, I’m ready for tomorrow (you got)

They say get out of town (hay)

The truth won’t let me lie though (what else)

They gunnin' for me now (alright)

They know the way I go (lets go)

They want me dead or alive

I’m wanted dead or alive

I’m wanted dead or alive

I’m wanted dead or alive

I’m wanted dead or alive

I’m wanted dead or alive

I’m wanted

You know I’m a wanted man

For reasons you won’t understand

Price is on my head, for like 100k

Now they want me dead or alive

Bang!

They gunnin' for me now

Bang!

They got they weapons drawn

Bang!

They say, «Get out of town»

Cause I’m wanted dead or alive

Bang!
