[Intro] Growing up in Baton Rouge Nigga, first dream was to be a basketball player Like, I wanted to be like the nigga Kobe Bryant We like a block away from our opps, and we out there in the trap everyday sellin' dope Them niggas right around the corner You just like don't be outside right in front of the trap without no rod Trap or strap [Verse 1] Made so many enemies, but why they envy me? Bitch, we come from the gutter, the struggle makin' pennies bleed I was splitting swishes down the middle like a centipede Fucked a bitch under the bleachers, told a teacher, "I ain't finna read" Shit that we was taught in social studies wasn't facts I was studying and moving blow, the subject was smuggling packs Can't trust your own mother, it get bloody for them racks Bobo put me on apple Fanta's, made it muddy with that Act' (Uh-uh) That was way back in the days when he used to line my taper up Me calling the day, they couldn't grab some paper, tryna save it up (Tryna save it up) Now I be tryna stay away from my savings, it gives me paper cuts Shit was a dream, gettin' paid in my sleep, all I got to do is keep waking up Shit no longer my imagination, I can't make this up Shittin' on all my classmates, and bitch, my grades went up They gave lil' Ray ten, gave me three and lost faith in us Menaces, they labeled us, DA said we was made for cuffs (Fuck 'em boys) But we got blessed 'cause Keitha and Aretha prayed for us (They prayed) Now I'm obsessed with success, I can't wait for nothin' My own CEO, fuck the checks, the labels cuttin' Made it from hard labor, I wouldn't be you bitches slaves for nothin' [Bridge] See, at first, I had to sign a couple of fucked up deals Fucked up boo-koo bags to get the object of this shit If you ain't got a plan, you ain't gon' understand, you heard me? They'll give you the bag, but they ain't gon' tell you what to do with it [Verse 2] Personal two checking's and one saving I got with Chase INC with PNC and LLC with BOA Like NIP, this shit a marathon, bitch, it's not a race (At all) A minister Luwop Farrakan, show my people the way Johnny just like Barry Bonds, I slide to make it home safe Won't dick pull for shortcuts, fuck it, take the long way (Let's go) Two clips taped together, hang under this long K They starved me to the bone, I ate alone and scraped my own plate The long face, they face expression when they see the Wraith sittin' next to 'em at the light (Skrrt) It was a long way from home, they had to extradite me Back to the Parish, waiting on a bond, I smoked an extra night No words for detective's, before I rat, I'll serve a extra life It's true, they still gonna step tonight (Yeah) On the top, make sure my weapon right (Facts) This ain't from the grave, I'm blessed with life TEC gotta play, like, this is life (Grrah, grrah) Ain't slept tonight, fuck ZZZ's, I need M's Stacked up on weed, no more pills, free my mind, feel like Tems Tell them bitches come see me perform live, not on film But the bitches gotta book tickets like you at the Colosseum (Yeah) Wrecked the 'Vet, fucking with my BM Cop a X-6, bought that Tesla, it's electric (Electric) Benjamin Franklin stuffed in my britches, 'cause my craft been perfected [Outro] The price of greatness comes with responsibility and you was made for this shit You didn't go through the struggle for nothing, you always took the lead, remember? That's how you got here Keep your foot on they neck, stand up on they chest
