Verse 1: [Suu]
Yo, I really came a long way
In and out the bookings man that sh** was no game
Imagine if I never changed
I would be back up in that court van shackled like a slave
Or you probably would be visiting my grave
I bullsh**ted from the 9th to the 11th grade
Never thought I'd ever graduate
So when it came we had to celebrate the day
Yeah I did my dirt but I wasn't the worst kid
Changed my ways so I changed up the words in my verses
Been blessed, had no reason for snatchin' them purses
And I been about that action, address you in person
Was a victim of Stop and Frisk
They ain't find nothin' on me, regardeless they took me in
I done did time for sh** I didn't do
Taylor Ervin if you hear me
f** you, this cause of you
Verse 2: [Turk]
I done seen tears fall from these people eyes
That don't mean there's no blessings falling from the skies
You gotta let em hit you cause if you don't
You gon find yourself looking like you dodging them lies
I ain't never fall but if I did I strive to get up
You can't lay their on the ground it ain't no time to let up
Only pray cause when it's time to bless up
You gotta step up out them clothes cause it's now time to dress up
Man it's time to get paid
f** a minimum wage
Youngings can't do sh** cause they minimum age
They working us hard really start to feel like we slaves
How we supposed to move forward if we ain't flipping the page
After memories I been wilding ever since
I told n***as don't holla at me if I'm rich
Cause when I was down
They ain't never tried to pick me up
So why would I answer to em now
I ain't picking up
Bridge: [Suu] (x2)
Look at me now in the paper I'm on the news
Look at me now gettin' paper, it's legal too
I'm doing things that they never thought I would do
I'm doing things that they never thought I would do
