You give me hope, girl
You give me joy
Let me say something that you should know (COUPE)
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
They never showed me a Black god, only a trap god
Wanted some zapp, so after my last job, I started to crack cards
I can adapt dawg, I can dodge an attack, I can attach parts
Good kid in the city but raised in the mad parts
My blood on the asphalt, my brother was half out
I told him what happened, he ready to crash out, my mama had passed out, yeah
Too woke to know what awake meant, I made it out of the basement
Too broke to know what a break meant, but not enough to do a break in
Still I don't take shit, 'cause sometimes it was nigga with glistening golds
That I seen out here kickin' in doors
That I seen out here risking they soul
Is it Earth or Hell? I can't tell
My niggas loadin' up K shells
Thinkin' of holdin' up a shell, I know that idea won't age well
Not good at acting my age well, from age 12, up to grade 12
Every reason to hate 12, came apparent to me like a daycare
Bitch, I'm original nine gang, you can tell by the nine chain
Who gon' be here when my mind change?
Who gon' be here when the time change?
You give me hope, girl
You give me joy
Let me say something that you should know, girl
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
They want me to pray to the most high, to me, that's a crackhead
In the city with closed eyes, a city with no god, impending the nosedive
Spinnin' the block and spendin' a long time pretending I don't cry
I be tellin' a lie the day I tell you I don't lie
My mom on the phone line, remind me to tell you when I make it home now
I'm reachin' my goals now, the notes in my phone resemble a gold mine
I'm here on my own now, I thought a few G.O.A.T.s would reach out and show how
To maneuver the game, but it feel like they goal is keepin' us closed out
Keep it on me, for sure, it ain't for show, it show
It's gon' be the last shit you see before a side of me they never seen before
