You Should Be Proud

Lyrics

You should be proud that i'm not in prison All of my niggas done seen a sentence like they in the reading business Be happy i'm not a menace I come from shooting at opposition then starting a Cleaning business Yet oddly the ceiling missing You probably drown in the streams i've been in I'm here but the meanings different Be happy that gods forgiving You're witnessing what could happen to men when you Tackling demons in him Be proud that i'm not in prison I was tryna decide if i wanted to carry packs or let my mama provide Cuz the dudes who had the stacks said the secrecy was important So i was wavering favor with flavors of different jordans Ultimately concluded when cousins were doing shootings To branch out of the movement to headquarter improvement Stomach touching my back but i vowed to not have regrets And i didn't know what was next but i did carry respect No role models Out on the porch they talking urban legends And who the top hustlers were i never heard the second Ain't say a word you know they say stay in a kids place They was playing games down by the curb i stared at diamond necklace By 10th grade me and won't say was selling dimes of haze School did raids so i ain't stay was getting paid for grades Auntie Tina took us to dinner for the merit roll Went back to doing my after school practice then headed home When Ronald died it hit a nerve that's when i made the turn I started learning different terms that's on Deandre word When he got killed i felt a chill, I had to go forreal Moved to mound ain't have no rounds but yet my soul was still Role model If i'm to fail know i tried to prevail I was tryna do well i got memories still of Tamar when he laid in that car with the wheel in his hand That was way back before i was 12 understand I seen Mikey before he was killed understand I connect with the pain shit is real I got plans of just going from starving to mils in my hands Born in the grave like Shits hell never really seen daylight Just 12 cops shoot or they beat you So my niggas sell work cuz they need to be true Hit stores and tag rip, boost too cuz youth need a tablet and new shoes See me i even did that Lucky now i just rap coulda kidnapped Lucky i don't sell crack when the kids nap Lucky i don't put straps where ya wig at I was born in the trap where the fib at? Free now i need a rack where the rib at? Whole time i rhymed it was deeper than the lines It was deeper than the crimes It was seeping in the mind From myself i tried to hide Really had to pick a side I was battling my betterment You see what i decided You should be proud that im not in prison All of my niggas done seen a sentence like they in the Reading business Be happy im not a menace I come from shooting at opposition then starting a Cleaning business Yet oddly the ceiling missing You probably drown in the streams ive been in Im here but the meanings different Be happy that gods forgiving Youre witnessing what could happen to men when you Tackling demons in him Be proud that im not in prison
