[Intro]
Kodak, institution
sh** crazy, a n***a came up slow though man you know
I tried every little hustle out here to get that bread
[Verse 1]
Came up slow, all off a caret of gold
I remember kicking doors, me and D's all hands stole
I remember we was poor, had to go get some dough
Cuban link on glo, polo, whip, my pants low
I'm too fly for you, I'm seeing through a birds eye view
I won't lie to you, she bald-headed like Caillou
All this time you was living in the skies
But now a n***a seeing right through
I'm the one gonna ride for you
I'm the one who came through
There was nobody else around
Let this sh** change you, I'm the one gon hold you down
Look what we done been through, just think about everything
Thought you was my round, f** the money f** the fame
Ran out my wonder pain, I can't see a damn thing
My heart so cold I got ice running through my veins
Crazy how things change, you were just here yesterday
I just caught another case, I'm asking God for better days
Hit my knees and pray, forgive me for my selfish ways
I ain't mean no harm, I was tryin' get it straight
I was tired of second place, I was tryin' win the race
I just hope you understand, everyday's a paper chase
Everyday a damn struggle, you don't bother you in trouble
Thuggin' wit my brothers, on my life and the gutter
Crazy how things go, young n***a from Pompano
Can't go to jail no more, remember eating Sloppy Joe
[Bridge]
I've been there before, is you a friend or a foe?
What you round me for? Keep it real let me know
I've been there before, is you a friend or a foe?
What you round me for? Keep it real and let me know
[Verse 2]
I had ups and downs, times that with no one around
Told me stay humble, but I just didn't know how
I was just down bad, crazy I'm on now
Wanna see me locked up, its a blessing I'm home now
Deeper than zone pound, young n***a ten toes down
I be in my own lane, I go on my own route
Thras got me dumb hot, feeling like I'm on cloud
I was running wild, living fast had to slow down
I was in denial, feeling is in my foul
Fell victim to the system, free cool I really miss him
Taught me not to be a fool, young n***a keep the tool
Break your daughter heart, breaking all the rules
Learn my lesson in these streets, I ain't really go to school
Young n***a stick and move, f** around and made the news
