[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]
