[ Featuring Lil Baby ]
Swear it seem like yesterday
I was eatin' ramen noodles off a plastic plate (plastic plate(
I really was, but anyway
Judge just gave my brother Dreek 5 years today
Hurt to see his teared-up face
'Cause I gotta feel it play (feel it play)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Damn, the streets need me (me)
My son need me more (more)
Gotta give it all I got (I got)
I ain't have no other choice (I ain't have no other choice)
Tryna make it to the top
We from the bottom, we was poor
I need some more (I need some more)
I need some more, yeah (I need some more, yeah)
Derez De'Shon
I was cursed and I was gifted at the same time
I was hurt and I was injured but I stayed down
Fourth quarter, two minutes, I can't waste time
Niggas dyin' before twenty-four in my white lie
'Cause I gotta be here for my son and daughters
Don't ever want them to go through what I been through
Hard times that scarred me
Reminiscing when times was harder
We ain't have no light in the 'partments
Just a baby, was boilin' water
Long as the kids ate, I was fine with starvin'
Do you know the feeling when your mama askin' you to help with the bills?
But you can't help her for real
But you still give what you give
I got partners locked up doin' bids
Some doin' life and some got a few years
Can't go to visit, it hurt just to see 'em
I'll do all I can 'til they free 'em
Damn, the streets need me (me)
My son need me more (more)
Gotta give it all I got (I got)
I ain't have no other choice (I ain't have no other choice)
Tryna make it to the top
We from the bottom, we was poor
I need some more (I need some more)
I need some more, yeah (I need some more, yeah)
I said the streets need me (AP)
My son need me more (me more)
Gotta give it all I got (I got)
I ain't have no other choice (no choice)
Tryna make it to the top
We from the bottom, we was poor
I need some more (more)
I need some more, yeah
I got my money the harder way
Baby mama tryna take my lil' boy away
Man, you know what it was when you went this way
I got too many problems, I'm savin' face
I got too many lawyers for random cases
I'm addicted to lean, I been buyin' cases
I been goin' too hard, got these niggas hatin'
Bought a brand new AP, got a friend wan' date me
I keep f*ckin' with her, I guess I can't shake it
I'll be goddamn wildin' when these niggas take me
Keep it real even though I know they was fakin'
Hold they nuts on me, they didn't want me to make it
Keep them young niggas with me, they still be takin'
Thankin' God that he bettered my situation
I can't wait to pull up and see niggas' faces
I can't go back to the basics
The streets need me (me)
My son need me more (more)
Gotta give it all I got (I got)
I ain't have no other choice (I ain't have no other choice)
Tryna make it to the top
We from the bottom, we was poor
I need some more (I need some more)
I need some more, yeah (I need some more, yeah)
I said the streets need me (AP)
My son need me more (me more)
Gotta give it all I got (I got)
I ain't have no other choice (no choice)
Tryna make it to the top
