Yeah, yeah, yeah
No matter how
No matter how long it takes n***a
Spiralin' up, just like a rich n***a staircase
No fly zone, please stay the **** out my air space
N***as say things behind my back, some things you wouldn't dare say
Know it's on sight when I see you, I'm workin' with SquareSpace
Yeah, top of the mornin', I know you thought I was dormant
Woke up early, shots were swarmin', now the cops in a orbit
'Cause somebody got popped and they knockin' on doors
Tryna find an informant but I ain't see nothin'
I'm mindin' my business 'cause God is my witness
No weapon gon' proser that formin' against me
N***a I'm starving immensely
Know when I'm done with these songs, you gon' miss mе
Ja Morant, I'm on my grizzly
You n***as just cubs but no, not the ones in big lеagues
After Thе Fall Off, I promise I'm comin' to sellin' out Rickleys
N***a, I'm just a product of poverty, full of narcotics
To profit off quickly
My family tree got a history
Users that struggle with demons
Not really the hustlin' instincts
Therefore, often, my pockets was empty
So I summoned my partner, was servin' up rocks
On the corners, the project, assemblies
Me, I was startin' to envy
Wanna be on the top where it's plenty
Wanna be in the spot like where every b***h want me
Like Rihanna droppin' new Fenty
What I see in the sky, the Ville is the celin', can't reach up too high
Nah, s**t, I can't reach up too high evidently
Never seen him drivin' a Bentley
I can't be out here moppin' no Wendys
My life is all I have
My rhymes, my pen, my pad
And I done made it out the struggles, don't judge me
What you sayin' now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from (Come from)
So often (So often)
People you grow up with laid in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It's my time and my world, my life, my life
Say what?
The stuff that I've seen got me traumatized
I let the K go and Johnny died
Swingin' that mother****er side to side
We don't participate, ain't with that squashin' s**t
All we believe in is homicide
I got a good heart so I've seen teddy bears
Every time we make their momma cry
I pray my past ain't ahead of me (21)
When I'm love, I love heavenly (On God)
If you betray me, you dead to me (21)
I disrespect you respectfully (21)
I got some partners who left this Earth
Maybe the pain made a better me (On God)
Just know they secrets is kept with them (On God)
I feel like the streets is in debt with me (Straight up)
I gave my heart away to all the dog hoes 'cause that's what they said to me (21)
I blame my pops for that s**t 'cause if he didn't fail, he could've corrected me (21)
Give all the props to my momma 'cause no matter what, she always protected me (On God)
I promise you it ain't no checkin' me (On God)
Jump in the water, get wet with me (Straight up, 21, 21)
You want my money or wanna have s*x with me?
Can't let the opps or the law get the best of me
I get to answerin', you get to textin' me
I see chicken, you n***as is breast to me
Plantin' the seed but it ain't a sesame
Can't let you n***as or b***hes go next to me
My life is all I have
My rhymes, my pen, my pad
And I done made it out the struggles, don't judge me
What you sayin' now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from (Come from)
So often (So often)
People you grow up with laid in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It's my time and my world, my life, my life
