Live from the same city where my heart turned cold
Same ones you call friends, the same ones that turn foe
Never know, always gotta keep your head on a swivel
Does a gangster believe in God as he clutchin' on that pistol
Is it beneficial, for me to paint this canvas
Fuck the fame, y'all can have it, I'm just tryna be established
In this game at top tier, don't have no remorse
When you make it, they do everything to throw you off course
Was never forced, was writing this before I jumped off the porch
Premonitions predict precisions when I carry the torch
Got backstabbed too many times, by the ones in my circle
Your day ones say they love you, but they're more bound
To hurt you. At many times I questioned what's my destiny
Then I looked down at my pen, remember we got chemistry
Niggas words stay lackin' substance, never hold no density
I mean respectably, how you want it? You can get your top
Shot off like Kennedy. Habitat 25, peakin' out the blinds
My weapon in hand just tryna stay alive
I quote these scriptures page to page the Lord needs me
To help the blind. Sacrifice is bigger than us, no reason to divide
Less' we talkin' verse for verse, disperse, converse you to a hearse
What's worse, the fact you can't reverse your hurt
Or exert your work to a greater worth
Took the torch and ran with it, my plan's vivid
Gotta pivot from 360's, stay away from bad business
Got the world on my shoulders, but I make through every time
Don't step in the both if you don't feel it in every line
Took my wins with my losses, that's just how a nigga's designed
To the top I had to climb, and I ain't even in my prime
