Champagne Glasses Lyrics – Cordae ft. Freddie Gibbs
Champagne Glasses Lyrics
[Intro: Cordae]
Uh, okay
[Chorus: Cordae]
Conversations getting complicated, I could tell ya, uh
Fifteen, was in them handcuffs with paraphernalia
I grew up in them trenches, boy, your house had wine cellar
If anybody ever had a problem, gave 'em hell
I got my auntie, brothers, daddy, cousin backstage passes
Everybody celebrating with they champagne glasses
I'm just sitting full of pain as I'm touring the country
Thought the stress-free life was gone come with the money (Uh)
[Verse 1: Cordae]
I got my head up in the clouds living off daydreaming
Still high up off of life, I know my light ray beaming
Got up out river, n!gga, now I'm straight mainstreaming
Flowing heavy, 'member uncle drove a Chevy on his wrist
Was a stolen Rollie Presi', couldn't tell him sh!t
Arrogance is deadly, in the moment, damn, he relished it
Matching chain, embellished it, drug dealer dreams with prison nightmares
Was type rare, and if the shoe fits, I'll buy the right pair
But sh!t be getting worser by the second, I'm guessing
Put a smile up on my face 'cause life is all 'bout perception
Tell my n!ggas that I'm happy, happiness manifesting
Even though it's quite the opposite, but sh!t, I'm digressing, okay
[Chorus: Cordae & Freddie Gibbs]
Conversations getting complicated, I could tell ya, uh
Fifteen, was in them handcuffs with paraphernalia
I grew up in them trenches, boy, your house had wine cellar
If anybody ever had a problem, gave 'em hell
I got my auntie, brothers, daddy, cousin backstage passes
Everybody celebrating with they champagne glasses
I'm just sitting full of pain as I'm touring the country (Big Rabbit)
Thought the stress-free life was gone come with the money (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Freddie Gibbs]
Conversations getting complicated, investigated now (Yeah, yeah)
You can't sh!t on me, you pu**y n!ggas is constipated now (Know what?)
Big VL for life, the biggest rabbit in the nation now (Yeah, yeah)
You can't sh!t on me, you pu**y n!ggas is constipated now (Ugh)
N!ggas can't sh!t on me, p!ss the set, trip on me (Nah)
Play me like I'm pu**y and once you in her, I burn like syphilis, G
Youngin did a bid for me, I'ma slide for him 'cause he slid for me
Know that you feeling this gangsta sh!t
I can feel it all up in your energy (Yeah, yeah)
Got her pregnant once, I gave her backstage passes
Ride with that dirty, I know my sh!t dirty
I'd rather get caught than get blasted
Crackers don't understand nothing, can never
They treat us like cargo, they stashed us
I just sit back and get high and I just think 'bout
How long this rap sh!t gone last us (Oh, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Cordae]
Conversations getting complicated, I could tell ya, uh
Fifteen, was in them handcuffs with paraphernalia
I grew up in them trenches, boy, your house had wine cellar
If anybody ever had a problem, gave 'em hell
I got my auntie, brothers, daddy, cousin backstage passes
Everybody celebrating with they champagne glasses
I'm just sitting full of pain as I'm touring the country
Thought the stress-free life was gone come with the money, you know
