I think it was all good, way back in the day then the whole hood really went wild Lonely the gang, man the whole hood missing them smiles, for the whole hood missing them smiles I'm a sad baby, 1300 block ass nigga, you can tell from my walk to my style I ain't really hop off the porch till the nick got older, but I been on the block since a child We was work rats in the trenches, now you up in the sky Pray for a sign, just to know you still with me So I seen the sunshine, that's how I knew you was proud God was there so many times, could've lost my life Or fought for it on trial, but it's like he chose me To be the one with the mic in my hand, standing tall in front of them crowds Overcame a lot by myself, ever since I got rich It's like everybody wanna come around, I remember I was dead broke Nigga I ain't high ***, you wasn't in the list of numbers I could doubt Back against the world for nobody that'll help me fight Nigga I wanted to throw in the towel, keep my circle small Never let a bitch nigga in, that's just something that I really can't allow Man I'm sorry but I can't yell gang with a nigga who ain't valid or down to do a deal with me Seem like everyday it's a brand new nigga in my face trying to claim some kin to me There's a whole lot of niggas who they *** hand out but can't name one thing that I did for me Hell no you can't hit this back with a few and scraping up chains blowing switches in the crib with me Seem like the industry pick and choose who they want in the front man this *** looking real to me And you talking like you live that *** but I'm really from the trenches I don't feel it so I disagree Do you really understand all the ups and downs to this lifestyle, *** fun but it's bittersweet But you know about days messing out on meals just to make sure your brothers and your sisters eat It was re-uptime, I was on my grind, told the P's I ain't taking no shorts We was playing the block, *** a sport The way that we shooting and passing the rock you would think that we playing on the court When my niggas died they thought it was funny so kill them and don't show remorse It's a whole lot of goof ass niggas in the way out here should've stayed on the porch Niggas ain't ready to give up the spotlight they don't wanna pass me the torch Yeah I'm hot right now so they gon' dick rap whether it's hate or support But what's I gon' make of the course? Look polo like that man on the horse, I need a Lambo or a Porsche Trying to run up them M's, yeah plus the flex on these niggas like I'm lifting weights at the gym I hang with some killers, few of the savages with me, my shooters don't aim at the rim He tough with his chest out, we pull him textile blast and we knock off a limb Have him running up outta his Timbs, niggas know we be wet and *** If you rock with the opps then I hope you can swim
