I just call on my kin
Look, I don't call none of my, my friends
Since they're loyal, I just call on my kin
I ain't know it, so I have potential
But I always knew it, had it within
Every time that uncle drop a song
Everybody gon' say that me did it again
That's it, that good things come to an end
Luckily, this is just about to begin
First thing, I ain't holdin' back
Cause I'm the best and I can't name a, it is better
And shout out my mama, she always makin' songs straight
So I promise I'll never forget her
I never had J's on my feet
But I had some with the C, but I had food to eat
See, growin' up in Southeast
It's easy to fall like a crease, but she had me together
And I remember all of my jobs, pessimistic
And I used to struggle keepin' head up
And I done made a lot of sacrifices
Just to get where I'm at, so I know I can't let up
And I do not dance, when situations got rough
I knew that I had to step up
When I started rappin', I told myself
I'm gon' be great, so that mean I can't settle for less
Yeah, and I done came far
I remember clockin' in and bein' disrespected
But I knew I'd become a star
And I remember G and N about bein' in the city
And knowin' who we are
All dependin' on the hurt that made it stronger
Thankful for the scars
Lookin' back, grateful that I done came a long way
But workin' and grindin' and workin' and grindin'
And workin', man, I done had some long days
The key's consistency, I may rest up for a minute
But I ain't takin' long breaks
I'm tryna eat, so I do not complain when I say
It's a lot of deaths on my plate
Lookin' back, grateful that I done came a long way
But workin' and grindin' and workin' and grindin'
And workin', man, I done had some long days
The key's consistency, I may rest up for a minute
But I ain't takin' long breaks
I'm tryna eat, so I do not complain when I say
It's a lot of deaths on my plate
Please don't compare me to n****s, that's disrespectful
I put the hours in, I am not neglectful
Know they countin' me out, but I'm not forgetful
If you got my best interest, I'm gon' protect you
But I can't respect you
Spurgin' on women, knowin' that your people ain't set
It seem the only time that n****s real
Is to film and post it on the net
See, it's about perception, portrayin' it
MS tellin' everybody it's just when you know that it's rainin'
Or tellin' everyone you jumped off the porch
Just because you look bad don't mean that you winnin'
Back then, I used to embrace reaching the truth
But now it seem like everybody is pretendin'
And everybody watchin' everybody on the social
So none of us feel like we winnin' and downin'
I love the game, so I know I won't leave
Like Chris would just join these bitches and breeze
Tell me that I was slackin', please
I don't post everything I do so y'all can see
From opinions and validation, I am free
Love my things, but my biggest supporter is me
Got this rap, a lot, so there can't be a breach
Only real in my circle, there can't be a leech
Can't be a leech, yeah
And that's what it is
I made mistakes, but I'm makin' a way
To be honest, I don't regret that I did
People can hate me and it wouldn't faze me
Cause I've been goin' through that since a kid
I was never one to sit on my ass
I was always the type to get up and go get
Lookin' back, grateful that I done came a long way
But workin' and grindin' and workin' and grindin'
And workin' man, I done had some long days
The key is consistency, I may rest up for a minute
But I ain't takin' long breaks
I'm tryna eat, so I do not complain
When I say it's a lot of s*** on my plate
Lookin' back, grateful that I done came a long way
But workin' and grindin'
And workin' and grindin'
And workin' man, I done had some long days
The key is consistency, I may rest up for a minute
But I ain't takin' long breaks
I'm tryna eat, so I do not complain
When I say it's a lot of s*** on my plate
Yeah, yeah
