'96 Benz Video (MV)

Forever seem way too long
I wanna live right now
I don't wanna save no more
I wanna spend right now
I want a Benz right now
I don't need amends right now
Never leavin'
I'm in the deep end
But I know they'll come back 'round when I'm out
Came a long way from the days
Couldn't get none to believe
High top fade like Kane
Movin' up the list like dean's
The principle still ain't change
If it did, then it could lead
To a coffin
It was more than often
That I felt boxed in
4 ways of the street, 1996
He was born, I was dreamin' 'bout a Benz
All black, chrome rims, and limo tint
Fall back, I'm feelin' militant
Paint job is filled with melanin
My niggas back up in hell again
Almost forced that hand to sell again
That water to that well again
See, it's a process
I still ain't digest
I seen 'em digress
And I'll be damned
If I ever end up like them
If I never get back to where I am
Then I'll be Charlie runnin' that ward
This that Burg talk in every word
Open the cage and release the birds
Got that '96 in traffic
Told myself I need to have it
Ridin' through the city with the homies, music blastin'
Heard they blastin' for that power
They can't take away what's ours
Ain't waitin' for tomorrow
Lord give me a couple hours
Open up, like partin' the sea
Tryna break free from the love of these hoes
And my name on the road like marks on the street
Lust keep hauntin' the peace
Takin' all the parts of me
'Til I'm down on my knees
Left with no other choice, but to find that voice inside of me
Time to kill the ego
Everything it feed on
Livin' that life for the name
Settle for a Nissan
Probably get lease on it 'for I cop that chain
Went and put a ring on
Never did agree on love through my personal ways
Maybe that's me
And I'm trapped in the mind of a nigga who never gon' change
That '96, was the validation
That I finally made it where I'm at now
All the moments that paralyzed me
Are the reasons that I won't back down
I came up to give back down
To the ones who been backed down
Who lookin' at me like a statue
'Cause I'm actually you in that background
When that background noise
Start to get too loud to avoid
You can either tap into your soul
Or let your ego deploy
So while it's all black
And limo tinted, with chrome rims
Just how I visioned
I realized, that one born in '96 is why I'm livin'
Got that '96 in traffic, told myself I need to have it
Ridin' through the city with the homies, music blastin'
Heard they blastin' for that power
They can't take away what's ours
Ain't waitin' for tomorrow
Lord give me a couple hours
