[Verse 1]
It go back then, when all I had was a pen/
Full of dreams, so I let it bleed inside the margin/
I was taught since 10 - never get out of line/
Fist fought cause them thoughts will slip my mind/
I'm out of time, and honestly this sh** is getting realer/
When your ex n***as turn drug-dealers to stack skrilla/
It ain't worth it, you probably end up dead on that surface/
Shot down on your own stage & now it's closed curtains/
No encore - let me just rewind dawg/
See my moms & my step-pops hooked up in '94/
We was average, that middle-cla** sh** came with baggage/
See them bills had to get paid before I can have it/
I had it, I built a habit, and stuck too it like a magnet/
And now I'm at it - my momma said you got a dream n***a better grab it/
Tryna turn my lifestyle to everything imagined/
That's living it lavish, from the hoes to the clothes it's different fabrics/
The OG's know me, speaking on me like this kid is a savage/
These n***as can't manage - I fully attack it/
So don't dare to bother, cause how I spit is how she spit when she too scared to swallow/
You feel me?, Cause on the really my n***as just gettin' by/
They elevating they mind, just one too many times/
That stress is leaving them blind, so they can't see the vision/
Spending days writing on this page, I hope that you listen/
[HOOK]
They told me Life's A b**h & then you die, that's why we get high/
[AZ] "Cause you never know when you gonna go/ x4
[Verse 2]
Look, my music speaking to any n***a with a dream that's seeking/
And putting money to the side to cop new kicks this weekend/
This sh** is madness, cause over-time we develop a habit/
Expensive taste, a lot of sh** I want but can't have it/
But f** it. I know n***as that's living rugged/
With they ribs touching, so they coming for them M's cousin/
Ski-mask way - my cousin died the same way/
But taking a life it wasn't okay, your daughter was born on the same day/
This sh** is wicked, cause all I got is my rhythm/
But since a shorty, momma taught me how to make my decisions/
So f** your prisons, that sh** ain't never been in my visions/
Give it time with these line we gon stack our riches, youngin' so ambitious/
Jot my name when they list it - down in history/
I hope ya mention me, they gotta remember me/
Like the back of they hand, see they know who I am/
I skipped on school me and my crew & we just built a brand/
Until it's over flow colder then hatin' n***as shoulder/
We bumpin' Hova wishing he could make our dreams closer/
You see my placement, I wrote this sh** in my momma's basement/
We go and take it, f** that waiting, n***as is losing patience/
Little by little cause this all that we got/
Give us the ball we'll score if you give us a shot/
Whether you like it or not, just respect our vision/
Spending days writing on this page, I hope that you listen/
