Rico Recklezz had a year to remember in 2016. Not only did he release the popular summer diss track titled “Hit Em Up,” Rico was in a highly publicized feud with Soulja Boy.

Killa Kellz – If I Die Young Lyrics

Killa Kellz If I Die Young Lyrics

[intro]
[The Band Perry]
If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

[Killa Kellz]
Shit crazy, losing all the good ones man, R.I.P. to Smylez man, gone but never forgotten man, this one fuckin’ me up man

[lil Jojo] Smylez on the beat man, tell that fuckboy catch up

[Verse 1] (Killa Kellz)
I’m from the city where the good die young, seen the struggle, I was raised in the slums
Momma never let me walk out alone, till this day I still walk with a gun
She say you can go to jail playing with a gun, I told her I can do the time, you can’t get a son
She say she understand where I came from, So imma bust this bitch like I’m finna cum
Niggas fu so I can’t trust none
Niggas tell I’ll mail you his tongue
Free smoke like a ain’t got lungs
Trying to take me from my daughter and my son
You take shots no coke and rum
Nigga I’ve lost a couple day ones, and they wonder why my heart so numb
Nigga look me in my eyes, you can see the pain, look in my soul you can see the same, even when the sun out, all I see is rain
It feel like fire runnin’ through my veins, I don’t think nigga’s understand what I’m sayin’
I can make the song cry, I ain’t even singing, how the fuck you get the picture I ain’t finished painting, If a nigga try me boy, we at your anus
Stay on point like a unicorn, I’ll fold a nigga up like a futon, If a nigga run up then them bullets gon’ fly, then them bullets gon’ fly nigga, airborne
Leave a nigga in half, coupons, banana clip turn his ass to fruit punch
Fuck fame nigga, I don’t give two fucks
Killa Kellz with a “K”, that’s Klu Klux
Everyday I get drunk and fuck two sluts
Cause I never know when my time up
Live everyday nigga like the last one
Say live by a gun, die by one, and I stay with a gun, so if I should die young
I want you to deliver this message
I want you to tell my mom

[Hook] (The Band Perry)
If I die young bury me in satin / Lay me down on a bed of roses / Sink me in the river at dawn / Send me away with the words of a love song

[Verse 2] (Killa Kellz)
I was told never shit where I lay my head, then I started seeing turds when I’m in the bed
I was in the joint gettin’ visits by the feds, I don’t wanna talk, send me back to the cell
I ain’t got shit to say nigga, Fuck keepin’ it 1,000, I’m 10k nigga
Y’all beat my ass, Kunte Kente nigga
I chop it up that’s sensei nigga, woo!
Say the good die young, guess imma die old, when i lost Aiki, my heart turned cold
Heart turned colder than a freezer, keep the heat on my hip like a beeper, this ain’t just rap, this shit way deeper, I lost time to the system and I lost close people
What’s fucked up I can’t get back neither, all the shit i’ve been through i might blow like ether, and they wonder why I’m a hothead and I ain’t got a fever
Everyday I ride around grippin’ that heater
I’m in the hood where you see murder, never rest in peace, brother
And If I was to get murdered / I hope all my brothers

[Outro] (The Band Perry)
If I die young bury me in satin / Lay me down on a bed of roses / Sink me in the river at dawn / Send me away with the words of a love song

G Herbo – Take Me Away Lyrics

[Intro]
Ay, rolling my fucking stinky up man. I have a flight 7 in the morning, I’ma be right back in Chicago like 8, 9 o’clock at night though, you know in and out shit, uh

[Hook]
Ay, Lord take me away
From all the people that ain’t tryna make me a way
I told my mama no more struggling, it’s gon’ be okay
Yeah, I was hustling in them streets tryna make me a wave
Mama told me, better not let them streets take me away
So I got to that shit, stuck to that shit, now she okay
She called my phone to ask how long I’m gon’ be away
Cause where I’m at, I fall asleep same time as she away

[Verse 1]
Lord take me away
To another place
I’m from a place where it ain’t safe to put my gun away
This street shit ain’t fun no more, they took the fun away
I used to post up on that block and have my gun on waist
Knee deep in them streets with nothing to say, I ain’t playing no fucking games
I was with my niggas, you know they with it, ain’t hang with no fucking lames
Don’t drop our names, still dropout gang, we’ll pull up bust some brains
I remember them days in the studio late sweating like a fucking slave
Too many days now I take a day just to make 100k
100,000 days I was up at night tryna make another wave
Got my mama another place, that other shit don’t mean nothing to me, ay

[Hook]
Ay, Lord take me away
From all the people that ain’t tryna make me a way
I told my mama no more struggling, it’s gon’ be okay
Yeah, I was hustling in them streets tryna make me a wave
Mama told me, better not let them streets take me away
So I got to that shit, stuck to that shit, now she okay
She called my phone to ask how long I’m gon’ be away
Cause where I’m at, I fall asleep same time as she away

[Verse 2]
Young nigga fuck that sack up tryna make me a wave
Stuck to my grind got that shit back, it ain’t take me away
Broke in the hood before I ever made it on the big screens
Selling 14s, 15s, then I started spitting 16s
All I ever knew was get cream
Only other way was hit fiends
Made my mama cry to get this shit, nigga I’m from the streets
I’ve seen my homies die up in this shit nigga, wasn’t nothing sweet
Remember nights I cried, I think of that and that’s what humbled me
I know that my life always at risk, I keep that bitch from me
Fuck the penitentiary, niggas won’t get shit from me
Murder-murder, kill thy enemy, don’t show no sympathy
If I don’t squeeze that trigger from where I’m from they end up killing me, nigga

[Hook]
Ay, Lord take me away
From all the people that ain’t tryna make me a way
I told my mama no more struggling, it’s gon’ be okay
Yeah, I was hustling in them streets tryna make me a wave
Mama told me, better not let them streets take me away
So I got to that shit, stuck to that shit, now she okay
She called my phone to ask how long I’m gon’ be away
Cause where I’m at, I fall asleep same time as she away

Read The Interview Transcript Below

Soulja Boy on DJ VLAD Interview

[DJ Vlad:] “So, you and Rico Recklezz? He jumped into this whole situation, he said what he said, and you kinda blacked out on Twitter. Where is that at right now?“

[Soulja Boy:] “Boy Shorty ass [Rico Recklezz] ain’t on a crumb. Shorty ass ain’t on shit. He just dissed the whole Chicago, and called apologizing that he dissed the shit. C’mon boy, he’s look for clout, and this is the only reason we’re talking about him right now.”

“He can’t wait to watch this interview and watch me say his name, and I don’t even know him. He’s dissing me because I dissed Lil Yachty [Lil Boat]. He’s dissing me about a bitch, and dissing me over another man that he ain’t never met. It ain’t about no money, it ain’t about no bricks, I don’t know you in real life. This is fake beef, and he’s trying to get famous off of me, making a diss song off of my own beat. I have a hundred thousand in cash on me right now, what are we talking about? C’mon bro, you diss me and he ain’t ever seen a million dollars in his whole life. I made a million when I was 17, Rico what?”

“The beef over with you feel me, but whatever man, if a n*gga got a problem with me, n*gga’s cant beat me bro, I will beat the shit out of that n*gga boy, we shoot the sh*t out of n*ggas boy, all of that, you feel me? But I don’t want to talk about all that and I just want this shit to be gone, because I’m about to sign this million dollar deal with my record label, and I ain’t trying to have the Feds knock at my door if something happen to this man you feel me? You already just dissed the whole Chicago, so nobody fuck with you and everybody talks shit about you. You’re not doing anything but digging your grave deeper bro, by f*cking with a legend bro, a vet. I’ve been having millions, you tweaking, and boy I’ll have your ass gone boy, you’re a fly.”

[DJ Vlad:] You’ve been in this game for over 10 years, you know real beef versus people trying to get on, so why even respond?

“Because I’m not for that man, nobody’s going to be dissing me publicly, I don’t give a f*ck who you are. I’m responding to everybody what’s happening. Fuck you, and fuck him, and fuck whoever. I gave y’all [Rico Recklezz], your 5 minutes of fame, I’ll slap the shit out of y’all n*ggas, beat the f*ck out of y’all niggas, and put it on WorldStar. You got me fucked up n*igga, I don’t give a fuck who’s name one of y’all n*ggas is, you dissing me publicly, we’re going to see about you.

[DJ Vlad:] But you don’t think that’s just playing into what they want?

[Soulja Boy:] “I don’t give a fuck what he’s doing, don’t talk about me period, on nothing and disrespecting my name n*gga. You don’t know me, what the f*ck are you talking about.”
