Testi

[Chorus]
Growing up, I was a slum dog
We was running from the police
Went from skipping time in classrooms
To hitting corners with the homies
Poured out the bottle for my lost ones
I've done some things we must keep lowkey
Ain't scared to die 'cause I'm a real ****
Reputation ain't gon' fold me, this all I really got
[Verse 1]
Me and Mizz go back to Hampton days, campus stays
When ducking off for hoes was therapeutic as we danced through pain, may mans was slain
So college at this point felt like a grand exchange
Trade away the streets, and in return, they feed me bands for brains
I can't explain my reasoning
But tryna do shit right for once, it damn near felt like treason
My allegiance to the neighborhood ****
Posted on Glenwood outside, boy, I was waiting for them ****
Hitting licks feel like a paycheck to ****
Zach was insistent on the grades, but I ain't have that choice 'cause Moms ain't have much money
I'm obvious, no dummy
So my means to live intensified, I'm used to struggle
Hustling ain't shit when you desensitized
A job plus extra shit was how the rent supplied
I'm riding 'round the city with Mizzy as **** talked
That boy a demon on the aux'
He running through that playlist while I'm scanning 'cross the street in case I peep another opp
I keep that pole tucked in case I feel I need to send some shots
That's when Mizz caught my attention 'bout some Jersey **** rappin'
It just so happen he was called in for assistance
He took as a sign from God, he knew not to resist it
So I'm staring at him proud, knowing his life gon' end up different
For me, my fate was sealed, I made my peace, ain't feel no pain
But Mizz assured me
"Bro, I swear to God I'll make sure our shit change
You my brother till we die, if I'm up, then you the same"
But it's hard seeing a world where I'on bang
[Chorus]
'Cause growing up, I was a slum dog
We was running from the police
Went from skipping time in classrooms
To hitting corners with the homies
Poured out the bottle for my lost ones
I've done some things we must keep lowkey
Ain't scared to die 'cause I'm a real ****
Reputation ain't gon' fold me, this all I really got
[Verse 2]
Couple years flash
My God above gon' guide me down a clear path
This Draco hold me down as I revere cash
These tears splash, but hustling through it how I let fear pass
If Death had pressed his ears to doors outside my crib, he hear laughs
I'm in and out the way
I get a call from Mizz again, he askin' where I stay
He with that rap **** from Jersey in the A
Two first names, sound like a fucking nerd
But if Mizz say he the one, then I'm gon' trust his words
I'm sliding for the link
I pulled up to the crib, lil' nervous, lil' shaky
Boy, I'm a gangsta, so I keep my cool
Mizz get the door and dap me up, we like old timers acting up
Until I noticed that rap **** had done peeped my tool
Bro jumped a bit, but he ain't lose composure
He showing love like we grew up as soldiers
First time meeting Chris, I realize why he chosen
Riding through those streets with them **** scoping the scene
That's when bro decide to ask me 'bout my dreams like
"Outside of the street shit, what you really see for yourself?
Is it a wife and kids, or businesses to keep to yourself?"
Truth is, I never gave much thought to really being myself
'Cause in this life, the time is short before a demon gets shelved
That question moved me
Have I gave my all to being more?
Mizz broke the silence when he asked if I could be on tour
"Security position, if you with it, then it's yours"
Couldn't believe he wanted me to be on board
[Chorus]
'Cause growing up, I was a slum dog
We was running from the police
Went from skipping time in classrooms
To hitting corners with the homies
Poured out the bottle for my lost ones
I've done some things we must keep lowkey
Ain't scared to die 'cause I'm a real ****
Reputation ain't gon' fold me, this all I really got
[Verse 3]
The year is 2023, and I'm at peace now
I'm en route to get a legalized piece now
Chris texted me up 'cause they was finna hit the A for Ville Sessions
Gotta work early as fuck, but I'ma be 'round
Them streets been calling, but I DND the line, can't sell my soul
Since touring with them boys, I recognized that I had goals
I got a job, I got a girl, got a spot to call my own
I want Moms to see my progress and feel proud to see me grown
It's damn near 8:30, just got off work, I'm at the crib
I'm dumb bored, searching for the wave, I chat with Mizz
There's a Spotify event, he tryna find out where it is
But then they right back to the stu', so I might take this time to live
I start reflecting heavy, all my life, felt I was damned
I'm finally at a point where I feel righteous as a man
I went from running streets for work to working night shifts when I can
To being brave enough to dream with excitement 'bout where I land
That's when that knock came
Fuck, that's when that knock came, and everything I was came to fruition
Cops stormed in, warrants in they palm, not tryna listen
Guns raised on me, hands behind me, locked into position
Getting dragged out, I promise I ain't cry, hitting that squad car
I felt like Bruce Willis up in "Die Hard"
I guess I got my hopes up, God done let my karma hit its stride
Only thing I heard get played back in my mind was
[Chorus]
Growing up, I was a slum dog
We was running from the police
Went from skipping time in classrooms
To hitting corners with the homies
Poured out the bottle for my lost ones
I've done some things we must keep lowkey
Ain't scared to die 'cause I'm a real ****
Ain't scared to die 'cause I'm a real ****
[Chorus]
Growing up, I was a slum dog
We was running from the police
Went from skipping time in classrooms
To hitting corners with the homies
Poured out the bottle for my lost ones
I've done some things we must keep lowkey
Ain't scared to die 'cause I'm a real ****
Reputation ain't gon' fold me, this all I really got
[Bridge]
Just got the call that the cops hit yo' crib in the A with the goal to arrest you
They saying its robbery on top of kidnapping plus a lil' murder attempt too
Shit
Aint no way it was Huncho, but Mizz just confirmed it again for the second time
Hearing that news actually wrecked my mind
Hearing that news made me realize that every one here got a destination
Detectives got open investigation, chest feel like bomb during detonation
That sentence they finna write up for my dawg is a sentence that don't got no expiration
Praying my **** could beat it
God been declining my calls as of late, so I'm left here betrayed and defeated
You should be here touring with me, dawg
Should be recording with me, dawg
Should be outside in the world exploring with gang 'cause there so much to see, dawg
Guilt in my heart feeling heavy 'cause I was the **** that came through to promise you
The minute I blow, all that trapping shit dead, fuck the streets, none that gang shit gon' follow you
Three years done passed from the promise, and here I am back in the base' of my momma crib
Contemplating 'bout I'm where I'ma live, concentrating on the grind for biz
Conversations with SwaVay 'bout the jam with the hope that Tunji might sign the kid
Praying the talks with the label ain't fell through
That's when they bagged you, ain't have bread to bail you
Posted a letter this time 'bout yo' struggle, I cried when I saw 'cause I felt like I failed you
Ain't had the number to call when they jailed you, tried being better, but life had derailed you
Day you got locked was the day that a **** met Cole, I was hyped as a bitch just to tell you
Hoping that trial let a **** sail through knowing our wildest dreams is on the way
Look, just did a SOB show in the city, and people is seeing the worth now
Went from the venues with nobody in it to selling out tours and the muhfucking merch now
**** quit jobs 'cause the money we made was enough to do music as work now
When I finally met someone who love me for me, and I feel like it's actually gon' work out
What the fuck?
It's the thought that you might not e'en be there on the day folks get married that's fucking me up
It's the thought that when **** have kids that you might not e'en be there just to carry 'em up
It the thought that when **** win Grammies, you'll prolly be watching that shit from the can
It's the thought that if **** die early, you can't event slide through to bury yo' mans
[Outro]
If only yo' shit had went better
Been praying to God every day with the hope that He get shit together
I'm sorry I couldn't do more on them days you got stopped in the weather
Only thing I got left of these songs that I'm writing to you is these letters
Love, Chris
