Ayo, what would you do if you were put in my shoes?
Who real? Who fake? I can't tell who's who
If you down to ride with me, then I'm down to ride with you
But don't think we homies just 'cause I get high with you
The mic is who? Translates my pain to you
Swear to God, my flow should be on pay-per-view
I ain't mad at y'all haters on that bullshit
Y'all poodles get fucked up by this full pit
I'm like Michael Vick every time the eyes spit
Look dawg, this is real as it get
Without all my struggles, I wouldn't exist
This is my dream that I had to commit
Had to proceed regardless
Might set out this world feeling like I'm Marvin or Marshall
Leave the weapon with the mic, I will destroy my targets
I'm comin' in hot, go call the fire department

No matter how you started
When you come from darkness
Struggle's been the hardest
Music's where the heart is
It's where it is, where it is

Yeah, uh, I'm the reason why you knocked at
The reason why the top back
You niggas really think you doin' somethin'? Gotta stop that
Wanna bring Pac back
Feelin' like I knew him 'cause I drove where he got popped at
I'm lookin' where the opps at 'cause I'll split a melon for real
Homie caught a body, came home the next day
Nigga tell me who tellin' for real
Robbin' people house, neighbors put us on the Jakes
Had to eat whatever mama put up on the plate
And now I'm eatin' lobster, crackin' shells 'til it break
And I'm smokin' on the grass, got me weavin' out the snakes
I done did so much wrong, I'm messin' 'round and lettin' Jesus in
This a God flow, had to hit 'em with the Jesus pen
Outside, chubby Jack sleepin' on the rock
Swear they put me in the same situation they put Jesus in
On the airwaves, I know the homies 'bout to see the name
I always kinda knew I had it locked, I'm yellin' "Free the gang"
Hear me, it's the gang

No matter how you started
When you come from darkness
Struggle's been the hardest
Music's where the heart is
It's where it is, where it is
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Shit happens, life ain't easy but we ain't whinin'
We back up and this bitch on the grind
I'm full-time and no days off
And we don't take losses
'Cause even when we lose, that's just a lesson to a boss
Shit, top notch game spitter, lame niggas don't feel it
'Cause he spit it with no filter, that's right, he a killer
Fill you with that good dope, positive vibes only
I do it for the ones goin' through it, so they ride for me
And I been where they at, but I ain't goin' back
The struggle made me better, not bitter
And you can quote that, look at me now
Man, I'm a phoenix out the cloud
I did it, they seen it, and they wonderin' how, why?

No matter how you started
When you come from darkness
Struggle's been the hardest
Music's where the heart is
It's where it is, where it is
Oh, yeah

Coke, the homies rock that, shows, homie, I rock that
Odd numbers, 357, where the opps at?
I reminisce, but we can't turn the clock back
Wish I could bring Vic, Pun, 2Pac, and Shock back
We load lock-gat, he shot, I shot back
Fair fight, bitch nigga, I'm not that
Fightin', fought back, uh
All we ever wanted was love
And this is what it sounds like when you cry with the doves
O.J. with the glove, fittin' snug
With the cold blood drippin' in my coffee mug
So to the copy thugs, I think your baby mama hurtin'
She need a hug
Smellin' like tilapia, drug emoji
Hip-hop gave me all of my homies
I don't care 'bout race, every culture is OG
God's children, we are them, we help them or harm them
So be the solution and not the problem
