[Verse 1]
Visions of a young n***a hustling in the studio with a sock on the mic
Make sure the lyrics are right, make sure the vision is right
It's i$0lyf3 my n***a, that's all I bang and before you decide to bang the steel
That's a son that you k**ed or that's a daughter you k**ed
That society, following crowds, tryna' be real
Well I don't wanna be real, I just wanna be true
Spitting sh** for the people, spitting sh** for the youth
God bless me when I walk in the booth
A lot of struggles but I try to recoup, because i'm just like you
A young n***a that was hated in school
Criticized because I made the wrong moves
But I had the right views, I decided to live my life to the fullest
And sh** on every person that ever told me I couldn't
And God, I know you listening, just hear out my plead
Just protect me from the devil, got a family to feed
Got some words to speak, got some lessons to teach
And yeah, i'm hungry for success like I ain't aten' in weeks
And as the weeks go by, know my lyrics are getting better
Heart is getting stronger, but n***as is getting clever
So I back-back, ducking the seam, but remain a fiend
On these dope tracks, repping the city where n***as fiend for that white crack
Pushing the weight like it's drug trafficking, with rappers
Who say they immaculate but they whack as sh**
[Hook]
I got 99 problems, a b**h ain't one
So please miss me with the drama
The violence and guns
Only lady I love is mama
And she loves her son
That's all I got in this world
So n***a I say
f** yo piece
Yeah, f** yo piece
n***a, f** yo peace
Yeah, f** yo piece
n***a, f** yo piece
n***a, f** yo piece
And I know i'ma ask sometimes but I just wanna be alone
[Verse 2]
Yeah, that's how I wanna be
And on your darkest days, just find some light inside of me
Living in barbershops cause I just wanna live on the edge
Spitting pain on the beat, hoping that would get me ahead
Or some good head, if necessary
But I don't rap about that sh**, my mind's legendary
So therefore, I can't afford to be rapping bout' sh** with no content
If you ain't struggle like I did, we got nothing in common
It's kinda' sad when you look back atcha' life
And reminisce about all the negative sh** you did
Cause 20 years from now, you'll be settled down with a family
Telling your kids don't do the same sh** that you did
I knew a time I couldn't find a pot to piss in
These haters try to judge me, I don't f** with jurisdiction
I'm grinding everyday, tryna' build a life for the children
My mind's different, you in some mentions, tryna' get b**hes
f** these hoes when you scroll through your phone
Yeah, that's all good but don't you gotta mama at home?
Not talking sh**, just something I learned becoming a man
I live life with a mindset, you don't understand
[Hook: x2]
