[Verse 1]
Finna' strive to the path and it doesn't really matter
What the roads gonna cost
Tell my n***as hold off, tell my n***as hold off
No hand outs given to the kids in the land of the motherf**ing wicked
Put your hands to the ceiling, put your hands to the ceiling
Let n***as know that I ride for my motherf**ing k**ing
You feel that motherf**ing feeling
You know them kids gonna die, you don't protect this city
This the city of the lost and the city of the frost
Where the coast gets windy, n***a
Rep the clan you living, n***a
Rep the name you given
[Hook]
Hope, for the prayers call, but the prayers lost
And the Lords forgiveness, never came for us
Hope for the prayers call, but the prayers lost
And the Lords forgiveness, never came for us
[Bridge]
Rebels, leaders, and the mothers son, don't load the gun
[Verse 2]
Feel the cold in the attic, that's the cold in the city
You was living in the basement, so alone in this wicked, world
World that we live in, he got the children in the buildings
In a seance singing, all hail my kingdom
How you feel motherf**ers, you wanna k** motherf**ers?
Well here's the gun and it's loaded, pull it only to others
Never once to each other, to our brothers and our mothers
To the lovers of the world, to a lover and a girl
[Hook]
[Bridge]
[Verse 3]
So I ask for the last and they never give me sh**
And they just said I'm an a** n***a
They said I wouldn't pa** with ya', they said I wouldn't go nowhere
But the flow so rare, k** 'em all for the boss
Let me get 'em all to the loft, revenge for the cost
Of a goddamn living, I gotta feed my sins n***a
I gotta feed my children, you know what it cost on my motherf**ing end
Altgeld Gardens, where the lost never win
Either hood or die, and it's many that will cry
Yeah I did my dirt, for the good or worse
Put me on the grid for the hood is cursed
But the n***as living good, give the hood the work
Drugs and business, and the coke is sniffing
[Hook]
[Outro]
Never came for us, put me in the trap with the queens and who*es
Put me on a track with the kings and lords
God forbid who has came before
Who has came before, who has came before
All of the glory never changed ya' boy
Rapping a** n***a never came up short
I always had a plan for the game, n***a
I'm the same n***a, I never changed n***a
The story holds all my pain n***a
And the glory glows, screaming Lordy Lord
Yeah n***a I made it, n***a
Yeah n***a, I'm famous n***a
Hold all of my anger n***a
