I remember scraping pennies for a quarter tank

Now I need a quarter mill gimme when you open safe

Know ya place like a key to a new estate

Switch whip newer plates

Look at how I knew a way

I remember all the times I was threw away

Through the fire and the bridges like I'm Golden State

This was not no borderlands

They never go away

Destroyed by where your morals went

Them preachers can't control ya fate

Praying over flowers casket and a broken face

People tried they best

But the body still cold and gray

My reality was not municipality

Running from the calvary

Or end up as a casualty

Coming home cartoon

Mom's exceeding salary

Tryna get some overtime

I'm warming up some calories

Latch key kid

With this beat playing

I was at the lunch table

With a piece of paper

I was testing out my shit

What was he saying

I was sharpening my craft

Till I kilt something

I was screaming wipe me down

Like I spilt something

Ask em "how they like me now"

Like I'm Silk brother

I was tryna make some cake

Without some milk brother

Watering the seeds till they germinated

Shit worked out when I learned and waited

Come to terms there aint nothing sacred

I think integrity terminated

Back straight

I been walking to the light

Come on

These traits

Got me talking like I run it already

They offended like I'm stepping on they feet

And I'm not

Best advice when you walk into the meeting

Be heavy

Lotta souls lost they way

Tryna step and I'm ready

Bitch I'm ready

Got soul food like I'm Terry

I'm popping shit

Till this shit pop

Stacking my fete
