Doing this I been doing this doing this yea I been doing this yea yea yea yea I been doing this I been doing this for so many years Put my heart in it felt like nobody cared Knocked on the door to opportunity was nobody there When it's my time to blow up I hope I'm prepared I was on the verge of losing it all Traumatized by what I saw Regardless I got to stand tall These streets made a young nigga strong Feeling jay in his prime I got to make the best of my time Feel like I'm next in line I need a check don't be checking for mines On the avenue I was risking my life on it Money on my mind Got to make sure ain't a price on it I gotta wait for the right moment too much pain put some ice on it Came out the hospital with nothing to lose and got right on it It was set in stone I broke a couple of bones In a way I feel like blessed but I'm always alone Guess I got trust issues I got to deal with my karma I do this shit for my momma I gotta get me some armor What don't kill you make you stronger I make it feel like a sauna I be still dealing with trauma you either a goat or a llama I been doing this for so many years Put my heart in it felt like nobody cared Knocked on the door to opportunity was nobody there When it's my time to blow up I hope I'm prepared I was on the verge of losing it all Traumatized by what I saw Regardless I got to stand tall These streets made a young nigga strong Ain't nothing free out here you even gotta pay for ya death Got to save up to get a tombstone just so they could pay you respect I'm chilling I ain't gonna stress I be thinking like I could dead I be dreaming a lot in my bed used to pop a lot of meds Never listen to Simon says and I ain't going follow a follower All them books that I done read more important than tryna be popular If it's money on my head Ima tell you get ya dollars up Cuz only God I fear and even death ain't stopping us I sin a lot so I gotta pray more I was kickin down doors wasn't cool at all I'm tryna change my life I'm tired of doing wrong And I be seeing through the same people that's fooling y'all I been doing this for so many years Put my heart in it felt like nobody cared Knocked on the door to opportunity was nobody there When it's my time to blow up I hope I'm prepared I was on the verge of losing it all Traumatized by what I saw Regardless I got to stand tall These streets made a young nigga strong
