Vince Staples

Released: September 8, 2014

[Verse 1]
This the moment your life flash right before for your eyelids
I was taught don't never look back, don't keep your pride hid
Mama said we better than that
Where your reverend at?
Cause we live a hell of a life
Ironic, I feel God here
Fear is failure
I'm not familiar with the fake
So just tell me who you tryna be
I'll tell you who you ain't
I be ridin' round my side of town
Where most would be ashamed
Find me walkin' 'round like i ain't got no money in the bank
But I do
Tried and true
Know I bleed Ramona blue
And if I die today, know my life alone should be the proof
Thoughts of microphones never crossed my dome when we was youth
We was ridin' 'round looking for somebody we could loot
Tryna shoot, scared of shooting for the stars
Scared of unfamiliar cars
Scared of running to the law
Scared to be who we was
'Fore we ever got involved
But that was then and this was now
The only rounds I hear at night is some applause

If you haven’t heard about Vince Staples yet, you’ve been missing out. Hailing from the LBC, Vince is one of the single best young talents that the West Coast has to offer.

Vince has been making waves since his initial breakout with the Odd Future crew and has recently even signed a deal with Def-Jam and the legendary No I.D.’s label Artium. Everything you need to know about how dope Mr. Staples can be found in his ridiculous, breakout verse on “Hive” by Earl Sweatshirt. While you’re at it, Vince has released a slew of projects over the course of the past few years, including the Shyne Coldchain series, (both 1 and 2), and the Hell Can Wait EP. It all culminates to his debut album, Summertime 06.

After the release of Summertime ‘06, Vince would go on to release his Prima Donna EP which would feature one of hip-hop’s biggest artists, A$AP Rocky.
