Текст песни
Yeah
I really mean this, you know I stand
On this, you know what I'm saying?
Nigga, I'd die for this shit
NCP, yeah, look
The truth stand the test of time, the lies get exposed
My nigga Jos told me that, that saying won't get old
I'll never violate the code, I put that on my soul
Wrote down my vision, time to manifest when I was old
When niggas turned they backs on me, it kinda made me cold
I used to hustle in the cold with Rooster at the store
Was buying double ups from Po, just tryna up the score
When Curly set that Lincoln on thirties, it made me want it more
Used that shit as motivation, stacked and watched my racks grow
Helping mama with her bills, was tired of getting paid locked
Police hit the trap, they ain't find no dope, but they got mag Glocks
Honda Pilot in the back had ten bricks in the stash spot
Norman Butler on the case, that nigga there like Madlock
My brother beat that body, DA wanted to see his ass rot
My mama prayed, my brothers prayed
My granny prayed, my sisters prayed
That he'd make it out the system without his life getting took away
COVID got the world numb, my young nigga still doing drills
Asking God to save Glock, that young nigga really in the field
Rearranged my values and what it mean to keep it real
Either build or you destroy, and I think it's time we start to build
Stack our guns, increase our funds so we can teach our kids
That it's more to life than fucking hoes and doing prison bids
Made a promise to myself that one day I'm gon' do it big
Learn to speak my truth without the fear that they gon' do me in
Phone call from the pen, my lil' nigga doing ten
Glad he ain't doing life, he fought the feds, they usually win
Lost so many to the system, shit, I can't lose again
Gentrified the ghetto, now them pale faces moving in
They tell us social distance from my family, now we losing touch
Niggas living in a rush, they opening Atlanta up
Barber shops, hair salons, nail spots, bars and shit
All the places niggas go, but we can't even see it though
We know they tryna kill us, but it's like we don't believe it though
Chasing full potential, when I catch it, you gon' see the glow
COVID stopping everything, ain't questioning the reason though
I'm jumping in my bag, meditation got me breathing slow
Mom eating better, I ain't saying she no vegan though
God get the last laugh, the devil working overtime
Hard to see the big picture when you still live with a closed mind
Been chasing after my greatness, but
It's been waiting on me the whole time
But I'm here now
