[Verse 1:]
Born and raised in the “A” my whole family here
One day I'll grow older, grow a family here
You never get another, so I keep my family near
But sh**, really there be real, I'm glad my family still here
I remember when we use to live in leatherman arms
Dangerous neighbourhood still but we as kids we never see no harm
And look,we stayed in the back
We go to sleep every night and wonder where daddy was at
And look I'm spitting it fast
Oh sh** I'm spitting the truth
Seems like we lack in the person that represent for the youth
So I step up and take the spot
See these n***as had a lot
They try to place me in the cage
I still thought outside of the box
I ain't grow up with a lot, but I had everything I asked for
Took a flight to china fourth grade, check my pa**port
And just in case you curious, only God can judge
I don't care about who your jury is
[Chorus:]
Do you know about them late night
Do you know about chasing dream
Do you know about that spotlight
If you don't then I can show you (show you)
Hey, if you don't then I can show you (show you)
If you don't then I can show you
[Verse 2:]
Late nights, early mornings
I'm working like a mason
Can he gang me, wanna let me, He was trying to get my letterman
You won't find a better man, sk**s of a veteran
Sick need medicine, I'm like a Thomas Edison
So, then I shine like a light
Gone like my goal is in sight
Dynamite Napoleon Wright
And I might just blow up tonight
So I just live by the day
Get up out of the hood and get me a crib by the bay
Still double cup my coffee when I wake up every morning
Remember the days I couldn't, use to dream of performing
Now I'm bringing the storm in
When it rains then it's pouring
Am still walking through the mall window shopping for Jordans
But now I'm on the road to riches, my mind is not on them b**hes
Them benjies , them dollar bills, gotta get it I'm so for real
I don't care about how you feel, care about what you think
They see that my team is sh** but see we ain't the one to stink
[Chorus]
