Lyrics

Oh, you came there, God Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, Lord No matter how, no matter how long it take, yeah No matter how long it take, n- Oh, God, yeah You better be Spiralin' up, just like a rich n- staircase (spiral up) No-fly zone, please stay the f- out my airspace (out my face) N- say things behind backs that they wouldn't dare say (dare say) Know it's on sight when I see you, I'm workin' at SquareSpace Yeah, top of the mornin', I know that you thought that I was dormant Woke up early from shots that were swarmin' A block full of opps, now the cops in an orbit Guess somebody got popped and they knockin' on doors Tryna find an informant but I ain't see nathin' I'm mindin' my business as God is my witness No weapon gon' prosper that's formin' against me N-, I'm starvin', immensely Know when I'm done with these songs, you gon' miss me Ja Morant, I'm on my Grizzly You n- just cubs but no, not the ones in big leagues After The Fall Off, I promise I'm comin' to sellin' out Wrigley's I'm just a product of poverty, full of narcotics To profit off quickly My family tree got a history of users that struggle with demons Not really the hustlin' instincts Therefore, often, my pockets was empty So I summoned my partner Was servin' up r- on the corners, the project assemblies Me, I was startin' to envy, wanna be on the top where it's plenty Wanna be in the spot like where every b- want me Like Rihanna droppin' new Fenty What I see in the sky The 'Ville is the ceilin', can't reach up too high, evidently Nah, I can't reach up too high, evidently Never seen no one drivin' a Bentley I can't be out here moppin' a Wendys My life is all I have My rhymes, my pen, my pad And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me What you sayin' now won't budge me 'Cause where I come from (come from), so often (so often) People you grow up with layin' in a coffin But I done made it through the pain and strife It's my time and my world, my life, my life Say what? The stuff that I've seen got me traumatized I let the K go when Johnny died Swangin' that m- side to side We don't participate, ain't with that squashin' sh- All we believe in is homicide I got a good heart, so I sent teddy bears Every time we make their mommas cry I pray my past ain't ahead of me (21) When I'm in love, I love heavenly (on God) If you betray me, you dead to me (21) I disrespect you respectfully (straight Up) I got some partners who left this Earth Maybe the pain made a better me (on God) Just know they secrets is kept with them (on God) I feel like the streets is in debt with me (straight up) I gave my heart away to all the dawg 'Cause that's who accepted me (21) I blame my pops for that sh- 'Cause if he didn't fail, he could've corrected me (21) Give all the props to my momma 'Cause no matter what, she always protected me (on God) I promise you, it ain't no checkin' me (on God) Jump in the water, get wet with me (straight up, 21, 21) You want my money or wanna have s- with me? Can't let the opps or the law get the best of me I get to answerin', you get to textin' me I see chicken, you n- is breast to me Plantin' the seed but it ain't a sesame Can't let you-, grow next to me My life is all I have My rhymes, my pen, my pad And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me What you sayin' now won't budge me 'Cause where I come from (come from), so often (so often) People you grow up with layin' in a coffin But I done made it through the pain and strife It's my time and my world, my life, my life
