[Verse 1]
From the bottom of the totem pole
Praising God while I'm whippin' in the holy stores
Made a way 'bout my city, can't get rich at home
Too much sh** in life that you can only know on road
It was n***as talking down, but look who won the prayers
They was throwin' shade just to f** my summer [flace ?]
We've been on a wave, bet they know what's coming [?]
She [?] you wanna change
[Hook]
All I ever knew were the guns and roses
Ain't no one around that that can done the focus
They gon' say they down, going through the motions
What if I don't get it now, bet I come the closest
[Verse 2]
Every day I'm counting up
Cause anyone could be my last
Had to learn to run alone
Only way to lead the pack
I wan't to pay a house, crib
The one with the birds out, view
They said that we go way–way back
That might be the words untrue
Never needed you acceptance
Too busy countin' up the blessings
Runnin' sh** from my hometown
You know I'll be up for the re-election
These n***as be talking like they here forever [?]
Savage n***a with a bankroll back when I was whippin' around a Lexus
[Hook]
All I ever knew were the guns and roses
Ain't no one around that that can done the focus
They gon' say they down, going through the motions
What if I don't get it now, bet I come the closest
Yeah, bet I come the closest
They gon' say they down, going through the motions
Ain't no one around that that can done the focus
All I ever knew were the guns and roses
[Instrumental outro]
