Jansport Strings (One Time for Chi-Ali)

One time up for Chi Ali

Cuz I could be in a box if I ain't see that screen

My mama prayed that I wouldn't be Chi Ali

Now my mama straight cuz I wanted to be Chi Ali

They say my Jansport strings was tying it all together

My Jansport strings was tying it all together

My Jansport strings was tying it all together, and now that new thing got me riding out for whatever

One time up, sowing the sides up

Hometown heroes, like you know where to find us

Looking over your shoulder like I'm slowing the ride up

First time listeners, they ain't kno what a line was

Blue & orange everything, loaded the line up

Got em looking for lines like they hope they can tie up

A spoon full of 'ron when I shoot & give a bar

Give or take, I'm in a space that's usually regarded

For wakes or living aces, truthfully regardless

Look at who they telling me to par with

Pardon me though, bred different so I'm arguably so

You arguing over crowns dude arguably no

I was fitted to wear that fitted and wear that living

For the living, you hear that penning?, well yea that did it

I mean, its all just as real as they say

And blame Chi if anybody is feeling a way, one time

Doing numbers, tryna do the summer

Dreaming outta control, said we tryna coupe the hummers

Leaning out of a hole like we tryna duck the edges

And leaving papi alone cuz we out here running credit

Young, early 90's in the heart of the K

Saw the servers, corners had targets for days

Any reason is a go, how they squeezing you should know

Draped in Columbia jackets, beepers & Girbauds

I mean, played lockers wit tomorro's front pagers

White & purple huaraches, tryna murder the lobby

I mean, all we knew is what we saw first

Wheels up for whatever til it all works

And I tell 'em one time up for Chi Ali

Cause I could be in a box if I ain't see that screen

Grey basements on all of my fitteds, if I'm on then we did it

Applaud wit it if you see my lead, one time
