Not Lying Video (MV)

Huh

Goin' to jail helped me find patience with myself
Ain't feel like waitin' on myself or nobody else
Don't need nobody help
Can't put my pride to the side, do it all myself
On Dre, that shit there killed me, I don't know how I'm still livin'
And I pray the Lord forgive me, but I'm like God inside these trenches, God
"Xho, how you get money, but still let all of your young niggas rob?" Yeah
'Cause I can't say that I made it, I ain't there
Do they hate me? Should I care?
'Cause they don't check on me, ain't worried 'bout nobody but theyself, aw
And I done fell a hundred times, but never fell off
And lately, I been wearin' condoms, but I'm still raw, dog
Can't never get stuck in the middle, I know I'm a winner
A shooter be drivin' in all of my cars, if any nigga play, they'll end 'em
I don't like talkin' 'bout beefin' on songs, but all of my opps tryna spin 'em
Know I done been in that jam, shit, I know how to get out that blender, yeah
I put everything on Brenda, six, no I ain't just a pretender, yeah
They could have a hundred hands, shit, I know they still wouldn't lend 'em
If you know me, you know I'm a dog, shit, you know I belong in a kennel
If you know me, you know all my cars bought, ain't none of these bitches a rental
Woah, wait, I wake up and get more pape'
Can't believe that I'm so paid
Most of these bitches I'm f*ckin' go both ways
Now I make me a million in four days
You live by the gun and you die by the gun
I don't see me dyin' from old age
I get a hundred a show, I used to rob for 4K, yeah, yeah
Huh, I been goin' hard, can't say I'm not tryin'
She jump when I say so, she not Zion
Yeah, made it up outta the jungle and, nigga, I'm not lyin'

I tried to come into this world feet first
So God saved my life before it even started
I was blessed with the guidance of my father's wisdom
And the love of an understanding mother's heart
I was taught the value of respect for self
And others in a world where this has become luxury
All the things that I complained I didn't have
I know now that was really more than enough for me
Some kids don't have food in they bellies
Clothes on they backs, or a bed to even sleep at night
Often, we don't see the things we should be thankful for
Until we suffer through enough to make us see the light
For a people to be displaced and enslaved
Robbed of their culture, God, and stripped of their identity
And after generations gone by
Forced to live amongst and be dependent on the enemy
Put into situations where survival is through hard choices
And then judged as if they ever had an equal chance
Brutalized by the ones that should protect us
And they say that our society is civilized and more advanced
The fact that I can send this message to you now
Proves without a doubt that miracles can still happen for us
We gon' overcome the obstacles we're facing now
No matter what the adversary does, he cannot destroy us
All the murders and the drugs and the prison ever has done or will do is waste our lives
We will transcend this darkness and not only just survive, but I guarantee we rise
Above the putrid stench of death and evil deeds
Above the hatred and not caring for each other's needs
We can change it all starting with our hearts and minds
Because as long as we draw breath, we still got time
Thank God
