[Sample: The Sylvers - Let It Be Me] [Verse] We deserve all that we've received We wrote our own stories This is the part I chose to be Let them n***as follow In my heart, I chose to lead And on my mothers couch in the dark I wrote to beats Two windows, some motherf**ing pillows I'm trying to picture me sitting next to Jay Leno I pull up on my ex in a limo Three girls with me, look like [?] in the limo Yo, is that Kanye West in the limo? Nah, that's just the future of the west in a limo I remember DJs with dry wax on them Now we got rap stations with no raps on them You could buy a whole album with no facts on them Watching BET don't make you motherf**ing black, homie Let's take this motherf**er back, homie All motherf**ing black on me Chuck D sh**, Pirate fitted P sh** 911 ain't never did nothing for me sh** Even in the dark I still see sh** That 'never give up, always gotta believe in me' sh** That 'get money, they don't fall from a tree' sh** Even when they told me I was never gonna be sh** I packed up, wore my little act up Had the instrumentals on before I even backed up We was in the studio so motherf**ing jacked up I didn't even know the vocals had to be stacked up I didn't even know the track had to be tracked up Play it in the party like: "Yeah, n***a, that's us!" So many girls in the spot, we was lapped up Way before iPods, dog, we was macked up Ass smack who had [?] smacked up Ladies love Dom, and it ain't no motherf**ing backups You Matt Ca**el a** n***as Capital One credit, no ha**le a** n***as Honest, sometimes I feel malice Thinking about what happened to my younger cousin Alex He lost his life for a gang that he wasn't down with So now I walk around on some head down sh** Like, damn They took my n***a away from us My sister called, said "They shot him in the face, brother" That's why I hate summers [Sample] I shouldn't even want to f** with you [x4]
