[Intro]
I'm just another n***a
Just another n***a
I'm just another n***a
WOMP
[Verse 1]
Back to back searching for beats that I ain't buy
Can't afford, Can't support, Can't endorse and What's worse
I gotta lie to those that I hold dear
For fear that they try to help and commandeer
But Momma I'm a soldier
I'm stronger than the average peer
No levees breaking on me
My flow is like a river near
The banks of a Philip
That filled up the shoes of a father
Always had mine but still taught me how to be stronger
No need for Starter
Caps just to show how black you really think you are though
I'm a product of the place I grew up in
Speech so proper, alma maters so scholar
So I'm fluent in the medicine
Like a doctor, almost was once
'Till I said 'f** the options'
Love you Mother
Love you Brother
Love you Sister and my Father
But gotta go to Hollywood
And turn these dreams into more dollars
[Hook]
I'm just another n***a
Just another n***a
Tryna make it in this game like I'm Mr. Ripley
Believe that, uh I'm just another n***a
I'm just another n***a
Just another n***a
Tryna make it in this game like I'm Mr. Ripley
Believe that, uh I'm just another n***a
[Verse 2 (C.Gilly)]
sh** I ain't special
I'm just a n***a from the 'Boro refusing to be a spade
That might catch me a couple fades
I might use it to shape my head
I might change up my flow again
I ain't worried bout what they say
Cuz nobody was helping me
'Cept my n***a that's in the H
You can come to where I stay
Ask me what moves I made
How I played the game like its chess
Sacrificing my only queen
How I pictured a life with her
But I knew this my destiny
So I gave it all up
To live on 5 bucks a week
You saying my verses weak
You thinking this is my peak
You seeing me and you peep
I'm living good so happy
That my getting here was easy
But you wrong n***a
Don't need no applause n***a
I'm tryna shine so you can see all my faults
Don't ignore the falls n***a
Effect and cause n***a
I'm gone n***a
(Don't Hold the Juice Gabe, Don't Hold That SHII)
Gilly told me to k** them, I gave them the .45
I just found a nig I knew, is now serving a 25
I'm just lighting up in the booth, just to take a seat next to God
And Im hoping he got some answers
To show them just how to shine
When the beat run out
It'll be time to be running the church crying
Cuz Im spitting the ten commandments
Laced with brimstone and fire
I might just be a n***a but Im sure that youll see with time
That this n***a can sure evolve into something thats worthwhile
