Nothing was overnight this life took a lot of prep
Got to crawl before you walk I tried to skip a lot of steps
Momma said stay out that deep end
I went and got wet
Since I came up off the steps been a gamble like roulette
Karma right around the corner I could feel that shit on us
Paranoid, cautious
Cause one error then you a goner
Or sitting in them cuffs thinkin how to get them off ya
Grew up a good kid
How the f*ck I get caught up
Came a long way from that Tenth & Wolf porch
Still filling voids
Still inhaling Newport's
Was feeling like a corpse, but I took a new course
I can tell you my worth and I ain't selling you short
You can see the pain in my eyes when you see me
Tell you what they seen you probably won't believe me
Roll up on them like a beanie
He wishing he had a genie
From the home of beanie where them macs ring like Peedi
Wasn't for this rap shit you would never see me
Police asking if I seen it and I just turn Stevie
Wondering if she love me or is this lil bitch just needy
Cuz we been through a mess and she still ain't leave me
We still rocking out
Everybody got the strap
What happened to boxing it out
This is Chess not checkers got plot this shit out
I was trapping out the caddy Oxy Cottons was out
A 120 perc thirties when I left the doctor
Pitching out of Hondas registered to my momma
Or co signed by my dad
We was living too fast
Always knew I was a star since I was rhyming with Matt
That money don't stay if you don't get it the right way
Know what they say Rome wasn't built in a day
So many ways to get it
Just got to be consistent
Nothing was overnight even Scarface was washing dishes
Plotting on a bigger picture got to watch them bitches
But find a real one you cuff it like you rocking knickers
You can't change what Gods got written
I'm talking to my grandpop in the sky please help guide my decisions
Damn, Damn
Man I miss him
We all got a number wishing time stop ticking
We all got a dream it's like my mind wired different
Need an electrician
So much stress my eyes start twitching
Shit happens
The shift happens
In my proception
Had a do a 180 backflip to get the message
It wasn't overnight been rapping since eleven
But I couldn't see a life past drugs and depression
Now it's time to start stepping
No weapon gone prosper that's ever formed against them
I'm in some khakis and some orange mo' f*ckin' Pradas
Hoes trynna holla
I was more than willing
When you're losing all you friends it's a bitter sweet feeling
What am I suppose to do
Keep giving
Keep lending
All them losses that I took I deserve to keep winning
Keep swiping
Keep spending
I came through on the night shift was nick's I was pitching
Could of got an overnight shift at Wendy's but I'm spitting
All it really took was one nigga to tell me that I'm different
And that's when I took it serious
I'm back on my Mt. Airy shit
Had to grind
Had to grind
The rain make you appreciate the times when it shine
I took the legal route
I could of chose a life of crime
I met some needle sweats I'm falling back I'm with a dime
I stood outside the chinks I'm yelling Yeo I got them dimes
The tens I took was pink for everything that's on my mind
They hoping that it sank I cut them off and drew the line
I'm laughing at the bank I came from Ellio's and fries
I'm trying to pick a car but I'm not sure what to decide
These nigga's ain't gon brawl these nigga's dying cause of pride
I gave this shit my all it was a ladder and I climbed
They gon sit outside your mom house and give it time
It was me and Wan the day to day the fifty-nine
All we had was us before I moved back with my mom
And even when I moved back I got held down by his mom
I think I got my groove back I just had to give it time
It's Seven Nine
And it's Strada
I'm in some khakis and some orange mo' f*ckin' Pradas
Hoes trynna holla
Eh real talk
Its Seven Nine
Strada you already know what it is
Get with it get lost
Uh Yea
And I'm a genius with the sound
And I meant sound uh
Eh real talk
You already know what it is
Mt. Airy
And I just keep this shit going
