Livin in a dream state
Waking up on airplanes
Hopping out of sprinter vans
That's how I'm living dawg

crt pieces on the wall
Niggas really decorating
Pops told me ima blow
c nigga really detonated

Came far segregated
Racism legislated
Public school educated
Bitch I really fuckin made it

Either love it or ya hated
cint gone stop a nigga flow
Half a ticket for a show
This is how you manifest

Really I'm a fuckin vet
Got my dawg a fuckin check
Michael Prince is fuckin next
Splash Boi is fuckin next

I ain't throwin up a set
I be breaking down a set
I be workin round the clock
Custom made countertops

Really from the Northside
They know me all around the block
Niggas love me where I'm from
Shit I be around a lot

This is how it should look
This is how it should feel
I aint no gangsta shit but trust me I'm good still

Bitch I'm from the hood still
Showing it's another way
Live to make another M
Live to see another day

Live to see ya family grow
Never let ya family go
They gone get on nerves
But they still family tho

They gone be around when you down tryna figure it out
I lived in doubt
Took some time just to figure it out

I'm still that same lil nigga just a bigger account
I'm still easy to book just a higher amount

I gotta travel
eat
perform
meet
Greet speak and probably not sleep
Probably aint even seen my momma in a week
So please pardon me if some days I don't wanna speak

I don't wanna hug
I don't wanna smile
I don't wanna laugh
I don't want a picture

I don't wanna hop on FaceTime with ya sister
Don't wanna text Tessie and tell her how much I miss her

Pride been the death and rebirth of me
Shed so many tears tryna be Hercules

Jealousy only hurt the rat not the cheese
Poison only kill the dog not the fleas

Came in the game with a pocket full of peas
Shitted on the land then started plantin them seeds

Pulling out weeds
Raking up the leaves
Thinking back now
My parents gave me the keys

Momma use to have my black ass in the tree
Cutting down branches
Befo they grew to be

Long enough to scratch pops truck
Cut em off
Pick em up
Til the green bin stuffed

No cap rap this really how I came up
400 years how could you crackas blame us?

Y'all feel guilty so you wanna hang us?
White friends wonder why we don't wanna hang out

......
Trauma

The same reasons we can't connect with our mama's
The reasons our daddies can't get they health right

Riddled with disease
Know that I'm his seed, I could feel his dis ease

Know the anxieties that comes with tryna please
Everybody but yo self

Why do we choose? To suffer with all we got to lose
Sad that you made it like you paying for them views

10 million plus that's just on youtube
White men can't jump my song on Hulu

....50 years of hip hop
That mean more to me than hashtags on tik tok
