It's a parade in my city
Riot squad, just a case, it's too litty
I'm notorious for saying no biggie
She asked what are we and I told her it's tricky
I told her it's tricky
Phone on DND but that don't mean I'm busy
That just mean I'm really at peace
With a piece and the peace of mind to love
Everybody but keep it strapped, just in case they come kill me
Real gangsters that'll vouch for me
Real queens that put it out for me
One time for the one time
This take me back to those lunch lines
Death around us, we was just fine
Gun sounds was our drumline
We carry so much heat in this country that we don't care that the sun dyin
I was the one nobody believed in never gave me a reason
I've been balling my whole career
They playing twoK for the seasons
Life is nothing but a game
You shoot and you miss
The hustlers passing out dimes
The fiends just shooting up bricks
No matter how you see it
You know I'm speaking the truth
Been in the booth
He cheated on his wife
Thought she had a happy home
Till she put a hole in his roof
Now you got nowhere to move
The kids got nowhere to school
Caught in a cycle
You think about Michael just praying that you can just walk on the moon
Uh, yeah, okay Stay up out the way
I ain't going out cause the camera's in my face
We went through that fire I keep that nine up on my waist
And that bag the only thing that I chase
I remember eating noodles out the double cup
Now I first served at Benihana
I was a young nigga, I had no drip
Now I got bitches, never call them
I got the sauce and you know it
Bitch, I'm my boss and I told you
I took a loss but I'm on my way up now I'm on my way up now
Life is better than I ever could imagine
From London to Paris, I'm never lacking
Paid up front, never backend now I'm back in
Man, I got Suede on my J's and on the track then
All real, never acting
But if I was, I would be casted
Like I witch doing magic
I'm always on go like the start of Monopoly
There is no stopping me, all I get is long stares
Now I know just how Rocky be
They always clocking me
So I keep tick, tick, tocking me
Now they pay me just for watching me
Showed you the way like a prophecy
Now I have a lot of reasons
To make a lot of you feel like you just won the lottery
This is a dream, always reppin' for the team
Shining but concentrated like a beam
My life is a store and I'm stuck in the exile like It's Idi Amin
I know what's best too
Too many women press me to be pressing you
Write too many checks just to be checking you
I'm just hoping that you find what's best for you
On my way up, I refuse to look down I know I hater and you're it
Cause you look like a clown
You the hardest on the internet
But the real know that you shook in the town
Look at him now
All the real ones know that I got em for real
Shorty with a great father is calling me daddy for real
Like, for real
Uh, yeah, okay Stay up out the way
I ain't going out cause the camera's in my face
We went through that fire I keep that nine up on my waist
And that bag the only thing that I chase
I remember eating noodles out the double cup
Now I first served at Benihana
I was a young nigga, I had no drip
Now I got bitches, never call them
I got the sauce and you know it
Bitch, I'm my boss and I told you
I took a loss but I'm on my way up now I'm on my way up now
