[Verse 1]
Let the smoke raise higher
Arson it's fire
That's what they do to a n***a once they encounter your priors
Real n***as speak the b**h at heart gone creep
Ambitions of playin hov but ya situation is bleak
My momma said f** n***as go get ya money son
My heart said f** Hurtin you ain't the only one
My mind right every situation I took
I remember thinkin in secret I grew to be overlooked
But f** n***a I'm doing things I never thought I get to
Prayers turned contradictions when arms length of pistols
I mean nothin certain but d**h to ya I stress to ya n***as movin weight only do it to keep the faith
Oh lord bless em all who judge me for being different
I know that they wanna love it won't speak it but know they listen
Keep in mind if you speaking it's reasons that I don't listen
Those reasons turn into seasons they grieving you came up missin
[Hook]
I know wish the worst for a n***a
God Bless
Till the day they send a hurst for a n***a
God bless
Everybody doin dirt for a n***a
God Bless
Nothin free you know I work for it n***a
[Verse 2]
One day they hate you
Next day they praise you
Stopped givin them f**s Up
Went and made moves n***a luck what
Now a days they think you playin when you talkin to em
But later on they gone be payin just to walk into em
Tree blownin boot
Wearin prestige knowin
Type n***a that'll big up to seein his n***as glitter
A house for all his people
Accountants could keep em equal
It's nothin to make a profit
Know n***as in case I drop it
I'm a hustler by choice
Known voice by fate
Humble n***a by words otherwise trill n***a by ways
Street raised my feet
Chins raised my hands
Pops shook my moms stayed
That lady raised this man
For that I'mma give her everything
Without a hesi
Be through with the residentials
Unless you attaching presi
Often I'm thinkin back
Some mistakes that I made were deadly
A n***a still alive for that reason forever ride
Desired to be a king
Aspired to be greater
No sense to settle for less when you know you ain't promised later
Speaking in third person
When tunnel vision ain't workin
I see it from different angles until they closin the curtains
