Above Me (feat. Karif!)

I know they don't like when you come up from nothing This youngin rose out of the street I was walking on 183rd with my brother KARIF! Hoping I can get a piece Robbing the corner stores nothing to eat Hitting ‘em just to to commit robberies Can't live in peace We need a piece Finding true love in a wraith lottery, uh Everything I see is bankroll, uh Everything I see is Money, uh Everybody says that they love me, uh Street life blinding boulevard island I know the world is above me, uh, uh Girl lives above me, uh, uh I feel it coming, yeah, yeah I feel it coming, yeah, yeah Aye I feel it coming, you won’t see me running My stride can’t compete with my pride And you won't catch me out on the street with a key Just KARIF!, that’s the G, gotta stick wit my guys Remember the time I left brodie behind Only had him a hoodie, it’s colder inside Wanted some ice on his wrist but it’s ice on my heart They be calling my phone, no reply All of the hating, they know it come from a dark place I just hope and I pray we can stop it All of the dreams that we chasing cannot be attained Why they say it like it’s other options It’s a struggle but we got each other Them obstacles, we know they really ain't problems The cost of us not having options Often detach you from using your conscious A conscious decision of being dishonest Faking an image and seeking responses Hop in a wraith while I'm paying for college Trying to hustle, I'm not being modest Pocket the bible, wait that's a wallet Crossing me out as if I was godless Check me but they wearing crosses I just wanted to solve all the problems Mom, I did it but they don’t acknowledge Imma pick up the book like scholar Gotta stack up the money, Insha Allah Wanna take everything that I make and create a good place for the next generation On the same team, why you hating lost in the money like it was a maze and What you gon do with the green when you make it That's a cool whip a nice chain but what's next Brothers is starving you wearing baguettes No open doors how you come in correct When they teach you ‘bout passing a spliff not a test School of hard knocks we was banging instead They ain't let us in, out on the door we was drumming Now I'm getting clout and I feel it coming Chasers right after me pushing and shoving It’s Bazz Everything I see is bankroll, uh Everything I see is Money, uh Everybody says that they love me, yuh Street life blinding boulevard island I know the world is above me, uh Girl lives above me, uh I feel it coming, yeah, yeah I feel it coming, yeah, yeah Everything I see is bankroll, uh Everything I see is Money, uh Everybody says that they love me, yuh Street life blinding boulevard island I know the world is above me, uh Girl lives above me, uh I feel it coming, yeah, yeah I feel it coming, yeah, yeah All of the pain in the world that we cause every day I just hope we can solve it The time that we wasted cannot be replaced and I know that’s a whole different problem And I know all the anger we choose to release is the cause of us switching our topics The cause of us not having options The effect of losing our causes No cause and effect only gauze and a stretch if you come where i'm from it ain't safe Getting this karma together the sooner the better the bigger the change we could make It's bigger than you and it's bigger than me and It feel like it’s coming I don’t wanna wait Know it above me, my brothers they love me, they worried ‘bout money and more sunny days, Aye
