[Verse 1; MELLZY]
Staring at the sonogram, I gotta get this money
'Cause fatherhood is coming, and I ain't running from it
I refuse to leave my daughter by herself with just a mother
If I die before she hears this,let Cali know I love her
She my motivation, her and Ja my inspiration
I admit it, I fell back; I succumbed to n***as hating
But I'm back, never rat, I got locked up 'cause of that
Standing by my brothers side, boy I got my brothers back
Thats my family, thats my kin. f** the color of your skin
We grew up needing a hero, on my mother, I'll be him
Tell my n***as follow me but don't forget to build your own
You're a king and you're grown, I'm just tryna build our home!
[Hook; MELLZY] [Jai Lombardi and Shae Loren harmonizing]
As I sit up on my throne I ask my family if they with it
Don't need no one's support but if you with me then lets get it
f** the competition, don't let them n***as breathe
My brother doing nine, set my n***a free
DON'T LET THESE ni**aS BREATHE!
No, no, no, no don't let these n***as breathe [Spizzy]
DON'T LET THESE ni**aS BREATHE!
No, no, no, no don't let these n***as breathe [Spizzy]
DON'T LET THESE ni**aS BREATHE!
No, no, no, no don't let these n***as breathe [Spizzy]
[Verse 2; MELLZY]
I was young and I was dumb, I was f**ing up for nothing
I hated who I was but now I love who I'm becoming
They telling me I changed, I ain't do it for the fame
I did it 'cause I had to get the f** up out the game!
I know I'm better than this f**ing baggy and this scale
But I won't realize it 'til they have me in the cell
And my family wasn't well, I'm unhappy in this jail
I can't brag about a friend 'cause I ain't have sh** in the mail, NAH!
Can't have these n***as on your boat
They be tryna drill a hole when they see that you afloat
Ain't too many tryna row but theres too many tryna roll
Love the mother of my child but at times I let it go
Girl I love your a** to d**h, got to get that off my chest
But your attitude the worst, but I still pray for the best
Baby you can follow me but don't forget to build your own
You're a queen and you're grown, I'm just tryna build our home
[Hook]
[Verse 3; MELLZY]
Make these n***as suffocate, winning for my brothers sake
Family didn't live their dreams, I control my mothers fate
I just filet mignon chilling on my supper plate
Most you n***as fake, I'll say it to you s**ers face
Me and Dotty fell out, God did the sh** on purpose
Was it worth it? I just hope that he's successful, he deserves it
It goes deeper than the surface, some sh** I can't explain
I'm alive, I can't complain, I stay low and I maintain
I love the hustle, love the game, I go hard and then I pray
I stack up like everything and stay the f** up out the way
Got a heart that never mends, got some pride that never bends
If you gotta question it then you and I were never friend
All these n***as prey on me, while my n***as pray for me
My opinions aren't yours, they were tailor made for me
I'm the leader of the pack but don't forget to build your own
In my dreams I was a king, I'm just tryna build our home!
