[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/ [HOOK]
