I remember days when I didn't have shit
Niggas robbed you and they kill u in a ditch
Movin thru night yeah it's hard to hear shit
They bussin thru the doors momma just paid rent
Trusted no one cuz these niggas seemed fixed
Never had friends cuz they always wanna snitch
I rather be close to the lord than a bitch
I was so young but I had to get a grip
Raised in the slums so I had to move quick
I was never dumb you a fool if you slip
Momma used to ask why I never liked friends
Momma used to ask why I act like this

Step into my life it'll never be the same
I was so broke that the money never came
Pissed at the world I was going insane
Quit being broke cuz I had to make change
Left certain folks they was hating on mase
Ride in Lacrosse with a hoodie everyday
Where I'm fucking from never known when it would rain
Since being different I was never seemed the same

I am makin bread and I ain't never gon stop
Tryna slow me down u fool without thoughts
Toting that steal but that safety unlock
And if he a goon yeah you know I'm gon pop
Been bout that action when my nigga got shot
Doing that dirty gotta clean up the spot
Them niggas be sneaking we know you who you are
Down at the bottom she only give top
A milly a show thankin god that I'm up
Lord only knows that I could've been shot
Covered in blood in them streets you get lost

I remember days when I didn't have shit
Niggas robbed you and they kill you in a ditch
Movin thru night yeah it's hard to hear shit
They bussin thru the doors momma just paid rent
Trusted no one cuz these niggas seemed fixed
Never had friends cuz they always wanna snitch
Rather be close to the lord than a bitch
I was so young but I had to get a grip
Raised in the slums so I had to move quick
I was never dumb you a fool if you slip
Momma used to ask why I never liked friends
Momma used to ask why I act like this
Hey
All in my city yeah these niggas be gritty
They holding them 30's cuz we armed and we ready
Wantin the smoke cuz we love to get petty
Bring round them opps and you know it get messy
Testing my nerves never liked when I'm stressing
Smokin an ounce or I'll feel that aggression
Step to a boss and im sendin a message
Tend to get mad and I tend to get reckless
Doin the dash but they never could get me
Stop by them cop so we had to get risky
Only some kids but we never some snitches
Lived in the hood yeah my gang was the sickest
Never that good don't know how I got blessings
Had to take L's now my ass in a mansion
All of my demons they hungry they fishing
Got me a grip through them nights I was trippin
Came from the south i can never be bitchin
Sleep with the heat and the door locked behind me
Love on no bitch if she swallow she lying
Realest of all but they love to deny me
Pray like a priest put that past all behind me
Live like a boss cuz I pick who I'm hiring
Never no bitch wish a nigga would try me

I remember days when I didn't have shit
Niggas robbed you and they kill you in a ditch
Movin thru night it'd be hard to hear shit
They bussin thru the doors momma just paid rent
Trusted no one cuz these niggas seemed fixed
Never had friends cuz they always wanna snitch
Rather be close to the lord than a bitch
I was so young but I had to get a grip
Raised in the slums so I had to move quick
I was never dumb you a fool if you slip
