Most of my homies been looking for other ways to eat So this an ode to those who grew up round the same streets For my niggas down Wade and Broadway I know y'all still be hustling, hope you paving more ways More lanes I've been trynna create Through all pain, I remember them days we would play them ball games I was barely even eight, couldn't reach the door Frames Helped me grew up on the way, I could thank you's all day, but I can feel this sore pain in my brain cuz Might of left the west, but the love is all the same bruz Your fam is like my fam Kinda like the same blood We've been everything All the best, I hope you stay up I'm never going back, guess my minds made up You doing nine straight up, and yo that could of been me Yo that could've been JJ, could of been D While I spit these 16's, know this should've been we Only difference In between, you stayed hugging the streets Dawg I threw that shit away cos I decided to leave If we traded made-decisions, you'd be right where I'de be So it's unfortunate your skewed to chase the rights to your dreams Its never rightful it seems Privilege not in your genes But we be on that same boat, this ship been rocking at sea Keep it rocking for weeks And I ain't stop till I'm deep This shit gone be like Titanic when I rot and I sink There ain't gon' be no other way that you'll be stopping the king Stomping my feet, I stand proud Hands down, F*ck these niggas dawg I stand out Man Down, If you coming for my stand now Stand down, all you rappers should've planned out Stand ground when my dawgs help a man out Nan's proud, sucks that she won't hear this blaring out But that's life nigga From the burbs to all my niggas doing life nigga And I'll be right with ya when my time tick up But for now, It be 6:09 get ups Cook a sweat-up Cos for future breakfast I'll be eating cheddar, yo that mozzarella Anything is better than these chains they got set up In my brain, yeah I'm fed-up Everyday is a set-up Am I crazy or mental Or just stuck in my head Cos some mornings I wake up and I just wanna be dead Some days I see the dream and I just wanna be there I wanna be scared/ Cos if I ain't, it's not what it is Knock all my peers Even ones I've rocked with for years I'm just trynna reach the top my nigga Business is biz I'm just trynna leave some shit for my kids Cos I ain't never had shit when I was fit with a bib That shit can trickle for years Over time, I done tripled my tears I got straight back up when I tripped on my fears But now I'm here, I be back on my feet I'm wont ever turn my back on the streets Although the streets has turned their back on my G's And they be still going back for the P's, shit... I feel they befriending me for my energy My family is faking Everyone is fake and I've been keeping patient Sitting here waiting Working so hard feel my back's gonna break in I've been running shit since the basement I've been pulling whips since the slaves ships I've been doing hits everyday shit Building empires from the pavement While most of y'all sit and waste it Face-it, I've been going hard since I came here May get, couple murder charge for the game shit Gang shit I'll be doing large any day shit (Day shit) I got you in heart Everyday shit (Day shit)
