Ayyy throw my jordans on the line
Get your hands up high celebrate me we alive heyyyy
Smoke that blunt to get you high, drink enough to be a vibe and you come enjoy the ride heyyyy
I just pray that ya'll remember me
East new york is all up in your face
I just pray that ya'll remember me
East new york is all up in your face
Put my name all in the rafters
For east new york I came through and i'm known to make it happen
Though my talent is to balance how i'm chemically imbalanced
Bare my soul on where i'm from cause ain't no way for me to mask it
I'm coming from a drug related block but i'm no addict
More killings and more stabbings by people with nose habits
Reading level below average, lower class low status
I seen a chance then I grabbed it, despite all of this baggage
Beefaroni or some ice and bread sandwiches
All the disadvantages made me gain this advantage and i'm
Standing inside out of the trouble made me outstanding and
I managed it and wrote this get out of the hood manuscript
Well I lived it, a living example handling
Holding it all together while everyone else is scrambling
They couldn't dress me up with they style i'm never a mannequin
And now they channeling who I am to better they chance to win
I am Him
Ayyy throw my jordans on the line
Get your hands up high celebrate me we alive heyyyy
Smoke that blunt to get you high, drink enough to be a vibe and you come enjoy the ride heyyyy
I just pray that ya'll remember me
East new york is all up in your face
I just pray that ya'll remember me
East new york is all up in your face
Ayy I'm just tryna win at life
Cause despite this rocky start, it won't be how I finish life
No longer wanna get it wrong i'm tryna get it right
And momma been a hustler so I always been the type
I broke the norm again, to keep all this green pouring in
While teens adoring this, as I provided this new door for them and they gon soar and win
We gon clap for em need a audience and they got more to spend
They inspired before they call it quits
uhhh
Are ya'll still doubting
Counting me out just means ya'll bad at counting
They can't make my lane and if they tried it re-routed
Everytime you forget, i'mma show you i'm about it
The pursuit of happiness grinding harder we want cheddar
This is for the dreamer who shines and they want better
Survival tactics i'm from east new york's drug era
We gon shine, this be my east new york love letter
And my choir sings
