Hm
You know I be staying out the way, man
I come from a generation where niggas be shooting them sticks
Don't get it wrong, before that we was throwing our fist
Times done changed, but its still the same
Black people stuck in them chains,
Now it's handcuffs and bullets to the back, that shit a shame
Money, hoes, and clothes is the reason you want some fame
But the money, hoes, clothes is not go love you the same
Especially these hoes, they want a come up up to get rich
You gotta watch em cause these niggas would kill you about bitch
Because he tender dick, but thats another story
Glorify they glory but they don't tell you 'bout them prison stories
Tell my young niggas to stay in school this street shit ain't it
You hop up in that field, then be ready for what comes with it
Bitch I'm from the jungle call me Tarzan, was raised by the Apes
But I was taught to watch out for rats, hyenas, and snakes
And one bad move go have yo ass dead in a lake
And them vultures will feed on you cause you ain't stay in yo place
Now in this world you all alone, motherf*ck some friends
Cause I seen a nigga get murdered by him own mans
Seen a nigga get killed by his mans cause he ain't extend his hand
Seen a nigga get killed by his man because he stole a gram, damn man
You know the streets ain't got no love, cause where I'm from, these niggas grimy like a dirty tub
Bet not show no love that shit'll get you killed
Niggas would aim at yo banana now yo brains peeled
Still the same nigga from Denby beating on a desk
I was skipping school to smoke, I wasn't taking no test
Straight A's, was smart as f*ck I was a good kid
But all the bad influence around me, it drew me in
But the difference is, I was all about some money
I ain't trying to hurt nobody and you ain't taking shit from me
I ain't grew up with expensive shit, Gucci, louie, you know what I mean
I might've had one pair of shoes, but I kept them bitches clean
If I'm down on my ass I'm robbing everything in sight
Nigga I'll risk my life to give my kids a better life, So they can sleep peaceful at night
I did a lot of shit wrong, just to make some shit right, thats why I pray to Jesus Christ
But you don't know my life, ain't gotta prove shit to these niggas
Tryna touch a couple figures, just to make my pockets bigger
Only problem is I gotta stay consistent, boy I'm on a mission
Keep yo distance, 'fore you come up missing, boy don't even risk it
I Never back down from a situation
I got this music bitch on lock without a combination
How niggas sign up for this street shit without applications
Giving police all they information on they operation
It's Devastating you put yourself in that situation
Me I'm not cooperating to help yo investigation
Learned how to move in these streets that comes from observation
Police listening? Different translation in this conversation
Smoking medication, trying to find some inspiration
Staying out the way, raising my kids a different motivation
Give them proper preparation, in this world that we facing
You want something, work for it, You ain't gotta take it
Any problems? Face it
You gotta dream? chase it
Cause all it take is dedication and determination
With a lil patience
But don't never fake it, Nigga
For Nobody
