Crash and Burn - Rittz

My homie and his girl just had a kid

They debated keeping it at first but now they’re glad they did

People doubting he’s a daddy, but he adamant he is

Both of them cheated round the time that she conceived it, he believing that

it’s his

His family tell him take a test so we’ll be sure

But that just pissed him off, so he side with his baby momma more

He could see himself inside the baby’s eyes, it bring him joy

Plus they was on the verge of breaking up

They thought the pregnancy would be the cure to stay together

But instead it was the last straw

She’s crying saying that they need to talk

She told him that her ex took a test, he’s the daddy of the baby

Now he got a broken heart up in the car

He’s on the road now

Feeling zoned out

Need to slow down

'Cause you’re going full speed ahead

Swerving on the road now

Feeling zoned out

Need to slow down

'Cause you’re going full speed ahead

'Bout to crash and burn

She was just a teen when dad got busted cheating, parents got divorced

Mom done lost her voice from crying so much, lots of shock, absorbed

Family structure crumbled.

Lost support

Used to talk about college courses with her dad while watching sports

Now he just honks the horn and leaves, the peace done got restored

He just chops the doors, split the family up in pieces, tears are seeping

through the carpet floor

Mom ain’t home to watch and lock the doors

One time she lost it when she caught some boys inside her daughter’s closet in

their boxer shorts

She could discipline her, when she tried her daughter fought her

She blamed her, saying she’s the reason she don’t got a father

She’s always on the bottle, drunk when momma called the police

'Cause she slapped and snatched the cash up out her purse and stole her keys

She’s on the road now

Feeling zoned out

Need to slow down

'Cause you’re going full speed ahead

Swerving on the road now

Feeling zoned out

Need to slow down

'Cause you’re going full speed ahead

'Bout to crash and burn

He’s an entertainer, yeah, it beats a nine to five

Sometimes he’s scared there’ll be a day when he runs out of rhymes

Sick of having to repeat himself a thousand times

But be careful you’ll get eaten, these are mountain lions surrounded by

These wolves, only dressed like sheep

Some people whoop when I lit my dream

But I still ain’t rich, I don’t got a plan B

Get the fans and then I cop

Jump ship, I sink

So I gotta hit the road, only way to get paid

So my lady at home gotta patiently wait

She’s afraid when I’m gone, gotta pray I’m okay

How much more can I take from the fame and the stage

I’m on the road now

Feeling zoned out

Need to slow down

'Cause you’re going full speed ahead

Swerving on the road now

Feeling zoned out

Need to slow down

'Cause you’re going full speed ahead

'Bout to crash and burn

And do you have to learn

Before you have returned

Beneath the grass and dirt

Besides the casket/urns

We’ll put your ashes first

Come bring you back to Earth

Before you crash and burn
