Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
Look, embracing different chapters Some people died some people lied
I'm shielding it with laughter
The pain released is crazy
I'm feeling like I'm Jay-Z
The record's shedding tears for me
I don't gotta say too much
Need to know if you care for me
I'm picking members carefully
Discernment getting sharper
Reflect it make you wiser
On point just like my barber
I'm looking at my son
While I'm looking at the sun
When he wake up in the morning
Told my child you'll be the one Sometimes you're number two
The lessons that I knew
Learn to take a loss
Don't listen to these capping niggas They just wanna floss
Pretending like they boss
They outfit came from Ross
I've been around a hundred billion Gave a chance to LA life
But I just wasn't feeling right
I went to bed, I stressed at night
I seen too many things Homelessness, depression
The kids don't know they blessing
I feel y'all need a message
Listen
I was down to my last and they ain't give me shit
Homie had to show his ass
So I gave him the kick
I remember I was hustling
My brothers ain't miss
Now I'm sitting on the porch
And I just reminisce
Teary Eyed for my people
That I lost in the mix
Natural born teacher
Full time hustler
Raised in the struggle
Got it off the muscle
My intellect been different
I'm on another mission
I can't be out here reckless
My team I gotta check em
I don't be around no yes men
Or niggas that just claim they tough
Then telling on they best friends Got caught up in that jam
Too slow with reaching for your weapon
When you gone ain't no RIP shirts Made for you up in the hood
I had to visit my land
Like yo what's good?
This ain't back in the days
Like up in the wood
They doing drugs around babies I understood
That the things I used to know ain't the same, it's gone for good
Mad people struggling
Wondering is this all for nothing
Learn to stop making assumptions Mama showed me rules
My father gave me tools
Sometimes you gotta give up distance that's a real jewel
Peace of mind from all these f*cking sucker niggas
I was down on my last
Niggas ain't give me shit
Nothing
Homie had to show his ass
So I gave him the kick
I remember I was hustling
My brothers got hit
Now I'm sitting on the porch and I just reminisce
Teary eyes for my people
That I lost in the mix
Survivors guilt
A condition that affects those raised in unforeseen circumstances
For years I've been trying to figure out why I feel the way I feel
I've been robbing myself from new experience living in the past
I got a big heart I want to bring everyone up with me
But the reality is
We ain't seeing eye to eye
I'm here to live for what I stand for
I am the son of God Kundalini Isa Allah, and queen Llenra Nature earth
I'm supposed to be doing what I'm doing
I can't help it I'm so gosh darn stylish
I see the repeating patterns in my life and it's time now to walk the next path
Accepting that things will never be the same again
Going back home showed me a lot And it's time to reinvent myself
I was down on my last and they ain't give me shit
Homie had to show his ass
So I gave him the kick
I remember I was hustling
My brothers got hit
Now I'm sitting on the porch and I just reminisce
Teary eyes for my people
That I lost in the mix
