Anticipation

Once upon a time in the hood

When I was a shorty, wild and misunderstood

I kept my friends close and my enemies closer

Your right hand man could also be the one who smokes ya

Jealous ones envy, Fat Joe said it best

They stab you in your back or smile and put it in your chest

This lifestyle is stress, anticipate the hate

Sleep is the cousin of death, so I'm awake

I was looking for better, sometimes better is never

Two things don't mix, and that's success and cheddar

In any weather some homies hating, I was anticipating

They foul scowl, jealousy the fragrance

Wait 'til they see the ranges, I'm laughing in they anguish

I had a few friends but those relationships are tainted

I just wanted the feeling of making my first million

Since my uncle had the poster of the paper on the ceiling

I wanna break the barriers, bondage holding me back

If it ain't Land Rovers, it's Cybertrucks back to back

With a mid-century modern ranch sitting in the hills

If the wildfires don't catch it first, shit is real

I'm anticipating a bigger bag, building a legacy from the block

Opportunities up for grabs

And just to think it all came from standing on the ave

Looking over my shoulders for the crabs trying to stab

Once upon a time in the hood

When I was a shorty, wild and misunderstood

I kept my friends close and my enemies closer

Your right hand man could also be the one who smokes ya

Jealous ones envy, Fat Joe said it best

They stab you in your back or smile and put it in your chest

This lifestyle is stress, anticipate the hate

Sleep is the cousin of death, so I'm awake
