Detroit L-O - Mattress by the Fireplace lyrics

Mattress by the Fireplace

Detroit L-O

GENRE
Rap
[Intro]

Countless nights right by them fireplaces with the frozen feet
Wasn't for no cozy shit, my nigga we ain't have no heat

[Hook]

I never knew that it would ever come to this
Started back off at the bottom, struggle meals for a dish
Penny scraping with my homie, but I still never switched
Only job was to maintain, being rich was just a wish
I never knew that it would ever come to this
Started back off at the bottom, struggle meals for a dish
Penny scraping with my homie, but I still never switched
Only job was to maintain, being rich was just a wish

[Verse 1]

Back to my roots, I thought that I was missing something
Easy Dae told me to stay on yo shit, you missing nothing
I was stubborn, so I brought my hard headed ass back
Just to realize everybody ain't like me and plus they slack
Summer 2012, lowkey gave these niggas hell
But the black ball was so damn real, it felt like a spell
Them niggas heard our voices, could've helped but held back
Instead of helping, they admired our style and chose to jack
Now the hope and ambition started deteriorating
LiveRAW was more than worthy and it wasn't no faking
But if we was then we'll be popping, now I'm thinking more spiritual
Broke as hell with all the faith, I pray for a miracle
Man my pockets was sick before Corona
Hope my bro had a dollar to spare for an Arizona
And we barely had the bread to record, still knocked it out quick
One takes had us walking out 3 hours with bout 6 hits

[Hook]

I never knew that it would ever come to this
Started back off at the bottom, struggle meals for a dish
Penny scraping with my homie, but I still never switched
Only job was to maintain, being rich was just a wish
I never knew that it would ever come to this
Started back off at the bottom, struggle meals for a dish
Penny scraping with my homie, but I still never switched
Only job was to maintain, being rich was just a wish

[Verse 2]

Me and iShaan, squatting by the fireplace
Two mattresses on the floor with no heat to ventilate
No paper, no whip to drive, no chick to penetrate
Cracked jokes and made the best of it, but yet we still gon wait
For the opportunity, ain't no reason to ask
Seems I sacrificed everything for more of a noble path
And what I sacrificed is everything I could've had
Had I stayed in my situation, my journey wouldn't drag
Sometimes I feel my choices just gave me a harder task
Thought I had it in a bag, could've had it in a flash
But everything happens for a reason, but I just wonder what that reason is
Stay cool, no matter what the season is
