Corner Store lyrics

[Chorus: Dave B]

Corner store, 2 A.M

Got some mango Hi-Chews, a bag of chips

Rollin' through the city and we hide behind the tints

In the Benzo, gut the Swisher out the window, then we dip

[Verse 1: Travis Thompson]

Okay, 2 A.M., I'm posted (I'm posted)

Dope all in my Jansport

Movin', the youth I run with

Might treat your block like a dance floor

Finesse the rent out the landlord

Mama said "Pull your pants up"

Bendin' corners and scraper, I'm loyal to 'til my bands up

I'm pushin', movin' work, improvin'

There's commas on the way

Put the pussy on pedestal

Blow the medical to the face

It's evident on my face

Rollin' heaven in my new Wraith

Declinin' the call from labels

Still grubbin' on struggle plates

They all wanna know whats next, shit, I don't even know myself

Nah, I don't wanna hear your best shit, I don't really need your help

I'm posted and smokin' just like my uncles before me

I politic with the stagnant, forget my day by the mornin', it go

[Chorus: Dave B]

Corner store, 2 A.M

Got some mango Hi-Chews, a bag of chips

Rollin' through the city and we hide behind the tints

In the Benzo, gut the Swisher out the window, then we dip

[Verse 2: Macklemore]

I grew up on Old English, that's that malt liquor (Aha)

Never smoked a Backwood, it was all Swishers (Uh-uh)

Before I pulled a fake ID out on a bartender

I was on a bag of cubensis, walkin' off kilter (Shrooms, shrooms, shrooms)

We ain't have no common sense

Do that dirt and hop that fence

Roastin', talkin' shit, we mobbin', I just got my momma's whip (Hell yeah)

We blow dank out that window, right with your tape up, it's garbage

I used to roll up a spliff, and I mixed the weed with the Parliament, ayy (Oh shit)

Couldn't tell you 'bout our future (Nah)

We was on the corner, posted (Yeah)

Wasn't thinking 'bout tomorrow (Uh)

On the rooftop smokin' (Smokin')

Swisher guts in the Funyun bag (Yes)

I was just doing my thing (My thing)

Hit the hot food aisle (Uh-uh)

Got the gizzards instead of the wings (Gizzards)

But it's all love, run my route, play the course

Sweatpants, shorts, wife beater, posted on the porch

Reminiscin', 2:11, and we smokin' on some 'Ports

And gettin' hella faded

Gotta re-up so you know we 'bout to hit the—

[Chorus: Dave B]

Corner store, 2 A.M

Got some mango Hi-Chews, a bag of chips

Rollin' through the city and we hide behind the tints

In the Benzo, gut the Swisher out the window, then we dip

[Verse 3: Dave B]

Takin' my time, workin' it out

Countin' the coin, breakin' my back

All in my loins, all on my nerves

Can't get a break, but that's my snack

Call me Almond Joy, mama's boy

Can't afford none of what you order

Shit, I'm hardly on, not quite broke

Off the wall, but on the border

Pushin' pen to the paper for peso

They wanna Lego

Close construction, no room for the huevos

You gotta love it

That's Benny, he like Montego, he save you like the gecko

He not gon' pay to date you, you guessed it, OG Maco

Boy so wonderful

Them cheap thrills, they come and they go, yeah

Talkin' 'bout we saved you a seat, boy, boy

They don't want no one to know, long as you comfortable, yeah

[Chorus: Dave B]

Corner store, 2 A.M

Got some mango Hi-Chews, a bag of chips

Rollin' through the city and we hide behind the tints

In the Benzo, gut the Swisher out the window, then we dip

[Bridge: Macklemore]

Corner store, 2 A.M

Got some mango Hi-Chews, a bag of chips

Rollin' 'round the city and we hide behind the tints

Off the Benzo, gut the Swisher out the window, then we dip

[Outro]

Corner store

That's all (Gemini)

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference
