Oh, yeah, Oh, oh

70's, young, good Breath still heavy with yesterday's smoke

First words, Oh, oh

Thank you, Lord, Oh, oh

Next stop, Oh, oh

Show me the money, yeah Oh, oh

Round the clock, ticking loud in my skull This life a tightrope walk

Love on one side, hate waiting to shove

What don't kill me, only builds the armor Got the heart of a pharaoh, like a farmer

Dug my dreams from the dirt Every damn day, hustle, yeah

Every single day, yeah

Your boy ain't shit, yeah, I caught the whispers Kept my eyes on the prize, ignored them cold blisters

Thought we was fam, where they do that at? Mud slung on the love, cause the bag got fat

Love was abundant, back when we shared crumbs Now the feast is mine, silence, they stare drums

Uh, man

Seen too many sunsets, turned to eternal night Life snatched senseless, ain't a damn thing right

Little **** we knew, toting that pain Banging for nothing, caught in the rain

Can't swim in that water, too murky, too cold Same old cycle, stories too often told

Locked up, soon as free, trapped in the grind Don't get it twisted, Vance County stills mine

Blood of it's soil, flesh of it's streets Love it to death, where my heart beats

But I'm moving forward, might touch down, take a knee But living back here, nah, that ain't thucky

And yeah, I stay pet, for any foolish games Keep that strip close, protecting my aims

Your flashy distractions, they cause me no stress Real recognize real, put my truth to the test

Better quarter mill, boy, I don't feel

Uh-huh, yeah

Park, drive, soul, fling, hill, host

What don't kill me, only builds the armor Got the heart of a pharaoh, like a farmer

Dug my dreams from the dirt Every damn day, hustle, yeah

Every single day, uh
