[Verse 1: Vince Staples]
They told me they need a leader
I told them niggas my feature price
Music mean nothing to me if I ain't eating right
Momma told me better see the light before they cut him off
Fuck what's wrong and right, if it's a gun involved
Then I'm drumming off, nigga
Ricky Ricardo going where only God knows
Beating the block, I'm feeding the block
They want us all broke, women getting they heart broke
Prison is where our dads call home
So we don't see 'em in our homes
But nigga we from Long Beach
So Dre and Eazy never been our heros
And California niggas that see plays is weirdos
Lying like a mothafucka
Soon it's gon' be niggas dying like a mothafucka
Fry 'em like a mothafucka
I'm sick in my thoughts and sick in my soul
Never let a bitch in my heart nor a bitch in my home
Why care about a broad when all my family gone
So til' they free the packs fuck true love, I don't believe in that
You run your mouth then I'm meeting that
I won't tweet you back, I'll just see you black out
And leave you passed out, bleeding and shit
Feeding them clips, I'm the Hollow Man
Take a nigga life, he ain't got no plans
We anybody killing, we ain't got no friends (no friends)
Now back to the story at hand
They handed me nothing, I took it in stride
Take a shot at your head for taking shots at my pride
The only son my momma got that she can talk to
So you don't want no problems
That's never been a smart move

Vince Staples

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.
