[Hook]
When you come from where I stay
We was taught to hold that chrome
A n***a run up in my way
I bet that pavement he fall back on
Cause in these streets it's never safe
It's never promised you gon' live that long
Felt this some sh** I had to say
Just in case I never make it back home
[Verse 1]
I pray the Lord on my soul, reflecting on some bad decisions I chose
A f**ing million miles from home with so much sh** on my dome
Perfecting all this anger inside before I explode
So if it's drama, then it's under control
Fought with the wars I was against, I seen the game but played the bench
Consequences I get pinched, guess I was just lacking sense
f** school and sh** I was doing was effecting all my movements
Only strong n***as get through this then make a way with this music
A young n***a wildin' born and raised out of Rhode Island
Cut from a different cloth, a red fabric I was styled in
Was taught to get funds, stay loyal with your day ones
Other n***as go play dumb, me, I'd rather just play sponge
Soaking up all the game I got from them older n***as
Can't be learning from you why the f** should I be social with you?
Ask forgiveness when all the problems was brought
Just life morals from the sh** I was taught, for real
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I tend to travel through them lost long memories mentally while alone at night
Take it in strides, keep it inside on sh** I'm posted right
The best that I'm giving I'm obsessed with this feeling
Thoughts of dying, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't
Over my shoulder where the Reaper crept, but G-O-D indeed I rep
Became depressed but quickly hop out of that mode my conscience set
Fought through that pain, they threw dirt on my name
I played it cool, remained the same, and pa**ed the stars a n***a aimed
Not a motherf**ing soul gon' stop me achieving goals
Certain things I can't control, sometimes this sh** could take a toll
On me but only for a little then its back to work
Then make it happen while on Earth until I'm laid back in that hearse
And even then I hope my sh** could live on
I say a prayer before I sleep, another prayer in the morn'
In case I don't make it praying patient 'til that day come along
Just all I ask is don't forget me when a n***a is gone
[Hook]
[Bridge 2x]
How I define all the times so much sh** had me gone
Hate and the love though is what I feed off
Came up from nothing so I aim for the most
Repping my coast cause this is all I know
[Hook]
