I went from tryin to make it trapping, to trying to make it rapping
Now by any means necessary just trying to make it happen
I remember way back when I was out acting a back end
Playing into the stereotypes of us young black men
Gang banging, slanging drugs, Dickies sagging to my knees
Flashing lights and sirens make you do da opposite of freeze
Now you running fast
Cause you know that if they catch you they gonna take your gun
Drug stash and bundle of your cash
Charge it 2 da game, some of your hearts ain't in the game
I paint pictures like an artist and my heart is full of pain
That's why my personal songs are known for being the deepest
I ain't got nothing to hide and I ain't known for keeping secrets
Ain't no reason to lie they say that once you become something
You'll always be that, the only change may be n how you function
Some of y'all visions blurry without alcohol consumption
I'm always working the day I was born is when I punched in
& I ain't punching out until da death of me
I guess da chef in me got me serving lyrics from original recipes
I believe my destiny consists of God blessing me
Try not to get caught up in the world when it be stressing me
All the things I've endured, all the things I've made it through
Places I thought I'd never return from being taken to
People can only get what you choose to let them take from you
Some niggas do what they want others do what they able to
Seeing loved ones die constantly can disable you
People love to see you suffer like they watching paper view
Staying true the bottom line no matter how they label you
Even when minding your own business they develop hate for you
A lot of things these days just ain't making no kind of sense
I ain't convinced that there's enough people with common sense
I don't fear man & I don't put my faith in him either
Been saving that for God ever since he made me a believer
Life said it, churches turned into a fashion show
I don't dress up I put on everyday shirt & pants & go
God knows where my heart is although Sometimes irrational
Always been a realistic person thinking practical
As an artist you gotta give fans what they been asking for
Dropping bars & metaphors whether I'm rapping fast or slow
Proved this what I got a passion for so they ask for more
Dropping classic hits you can change my genre to classical
