Most of you niggas ain’t talking ‘bout shit
Ain’t got time to listen cause there’s money to get
Was just a lil' youngin' searching for a deal
Gain some knowledge and patience through the years
Promise to sign myself to my own label
Eliminate the middle man to my mil’
Bring it right back to my city
And let ‘em know that we made it
Let the kids cope a gift or two
Never get far from my roots
No time for beef
Let’s just call it a truce
No time for boasting ‘bout material things
Life is a blessing I give Him the praise
While y'all niggas bragging ‘bout diamonds and chains
I know mothers in the hood that’s trying to make a way
My nigga 17 and trying to beat the case
My niggas cooking up the work to get the pay
Damn, know a lot of things
Only 28 that ain’t even half
Nigga do the math
Homie moving fast haunted by the past
If it feel good at the moment try to make it last
They don’t even care about us now
Promise you they love it when we’re down
They don’t wanna see us make it out our hell
They don’t wanna see the kid with the crown I can tell
Walk in thy shoes
Can you feel the bruise?
Talking that talk
Speaking my thoughts
Truth only thing I must choose
Tell me how it feel when the real ain’t real
When you have to pull the trigger
And the bullet don’t kill
When you didn’t do the crime
But you took the plea deal
When your life on the line
And you feel you hadn’t lived got damn
I was told the real don’t fold
Never let your guard down nigga
Stay on yo toes got damn
Was told that friends can turn into foes
I know just how that shit goes
I was told humble thyself
Humble thyself increases wealth
I was told forgiving is good
Forgiving is good for thy health
I was told it’s not for them
It’s not for them but it’s for thyself (Aye preach that there)
Aye preach that there if nothing else
Got an idea homie let’s make deal
New motto is try not to get yourself killed
Know it’s hard to do living how we live
But somebody gotta make it out of here
I got a reason to live
I got a reason to give
I got a reason to love
And I got a reason to heal
Got a reason to give momma that big house on the hill
I know you hate it never hold it in
Just say how you feel
I ain’t gotta like it (But I might respect it)
Truth can be your friend (You should not neglect it)
Could’ve had it all (Talk about depression)
What would I exchange for it (That’s the question)
Time is ticking no more politicking
If it’s not important then you shouldn’t mention
Speaking to my generation pay attention
Blinding by the substance so materialistic got damn
I was told the real don’t fold
Never let your guard down nigga
Stay on yo toes got damn
Was told that friends can turn into foes
I know just how that shit goes
I was told humble thyself
Humble thyself increases wealth
I was told forgiving is good
Forgiving is good for thy health
I was told it’s not for them
It’s not for them but it’s for thyself (Aye preach that there)
Aye preach that there if nothing else
Most of you nigga’s ain’t talking ‘bout shit
Bragging about the rollie on yo wrist
These kids are starving
Looking at you balling
Stuntin’ flossin’ whatever you call it
Yes, I’m a different breed don’t get me started
Them knowing I got it is not that important
Or how much I paid for the shit that I wanted
I’m thinking you crazy you put how much on it
F*ck was you thinking coping a Mercedes
And sill living out of your grandmama’s basement
Slave to society guided by probable’s
Taking no shit want the hood to stay proud of me
Talking ‘bout bands that you made
A couple of grand you didn’t leave but you stayed
Bragging to anyone you thought would listen
These haters are plotting to catch you out slipping
Told you to move in silence that’s the mission
Your actions are screaming you didn’t pay attention
Giving you knowledge but it’s your decision
Jealousy kills and I think I should mention
Slavery still lives and they call that shit prison
The f*ck was you thinking coping a Mercedes
And still living out of your grandmama’s basement
