[Intro: Lil Duke]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Shoutout to Wiz
Turn the mic up, KK
We on Melrose
That boy Cass

[Chorus: Lil Duke]
Ridin' 'round with the top down, ridin' down Melrose
Smokin', livin' life, came a long way from sellin' O's
Used to be broke and I couldn't afford nothin' but some shell toes
They took my homie life away and they gave him a elbow
Been through so much in my life that nobody would ever know
Thugger, he came and and he got me and sent me down better roads
I had no where to go, I had no where to go
I built a circle like the letter "O"
I kept on grinding, gave back to the 'po

[Verse 1: Lil Duke]
Wiz in this bitch and he screamin' out Taylor Gang
We makin' major plays, give a fuck bout what a hater say
You thirsty lil' bitch, here's some Gatorade
Major league ballin', I'm major paid
[?] like the sergeant like Major Payne
Grew up with junkies that's smokin' cocaine
Trapped in the spot with the roaches
Don't want no Ford, but I'm focused
Keep stayin' down, they gon' notice
No sleep, up like I'm on Folgers
Niggas be liars, they bogus
Everyday buy a new pair Air Forces
I wasn't poor, but I had no choice
Havin' dreams of ridin' Rolls Royce
Now the people want to hear my voice
I need some lean 'cause my throat is moist
They lovin' the kid on the Peoples' Choice
Pulled off in a Lamb' and came back in a Porsche

[Chorus: Lil Duke]
Ridin' 'round with the top down, ridin' down Melrose
Smokin', livin' life, came a long way from sellin' O's
Used to be broke and I couldn't afford nothin' but some shell toes
They took my homie life away and they gave him a elbow
Been through so much in my life that nobody would ever know
Thugger, he came and and he got me and sent me down better roads
I had no where to go, I had no where to go
I built a circle like the letter "O"
I kept on grinding, gave back to the 'po

[Verse 2: Wiz Khalifa]
Young Khalifa, got no time for niggas who can't stand on their own two
Fuck you talkin' 'bout [?], it's time to show em, prove what you gon' do
When everybody hustlin', everybody shinin', everyone fall through
Soon as shit get crazy, been a couple days and ain't no one call you
I done took a loss and came up like a boss and then made it all back
Smile at your face, try to take your place, if that ain't hate, what you call that?
Couple niggas gone, I swear to God I wish I could bring 'em all back
Wish they had Taylor Gang on instead of being buried in all black
Ridin' around with a new girl and that's your bitch
Got love for my gang and they love me, no, they won't switch
Got a new bitch 'cause I can't get along with my old one
And if you got one on you, man, then go on and roll one

[Chorus: Lil Duke]
Ridin' 'round with the top down, ridin' down Melrose
Smokin', livin' life, came a long way from sellin' O's
Used to be broke and I couldn't afford nothin' but some shell toes
They took my homie life away and they gave him a elbow
Been through so much in my life that nobody would ever know
Thugger, he came and and he got me and sent me down better roads
I had no where to go, I had no where to go
I built a circle like the letter "O"
I kept on grinding, gave back to the 'po

Lil Duke

Lil Duke is a member of Young Thug’s Young Stoner Life Records. He started out as Yung Duke in BFPL back in the late 00s before joining MPA with Peewee Longway, where he changed his name to MPA Duke. But after the MPA collective disbanded around 2015, he stuck with Thugger and joined YSL as Lil Duke, which is the moniker under which he’s released all his music while in YSL. However, he was always credited on his features simply as Duke. In 2019, he dropped the first single for Blue Devil 2 on streaming services as Duke, so it has been speculated that he’s once again changing his name.

Duke has released 8 mixtapes so far, with his first being Got Bars back in 2013, recorded during his BFPL days but released during his MPA days, and his latest being Reality Checc in 2018. A sequel to his 2016 mixtape Blue Devil is currently in the works.
