Raised in the trap where I seen more drugs out the window than CVS

Murder mo' murder was all that I saw as kid, **** shoulda called CPS

Said I wouldn't make it but I'm headed to the bank

I'm getting famous to a check I got the GPS

Hoes ain't want me back then now they be packed in at my shows and they DTF

I was raised in the trap where I seen more drugs out the window than CVS

Murder mo' murder was all that I saw as kid, **** shoulda called CPS

Hoes ain't want me back then now they be packed in at my shows and they DTF, bitch!

Back in '99 was on the East side

Recalled a couple years before when Eazy E died

And then was Mackavelli, also Biggie, that was heavy how we seen the masses steady murder these guys

What I learned is no age'll decease time and they stupefy to crucify you in the meantime

Then they strip you like it's Vegas for the riches

Life created, is there life after death 'cause I need mine, hold up

**** want a slice of my Key lime

Pirus and the Locs by the v line

And Marie Callender's whenever they receive time

Go to war then run in mine, we try

Everything to break us up but now I see why

See a [?lease?] every single time we ride

All my heroes are dead, can I indeed rise?

You ain't timing caller when it's over can't respawn, geeze I

Pull up where I used to reside

Diamonds on me, 'cause they didn't think we shine

Tried to OD, my father was beside

Me, but I made it but soon I would retry

Now I do it bigger than fee fi fo

And I got yo wife tryna be my hoe

Back then she was hating, she ain't think I'd know

Don't ever call me Tarrel, bitch I'm King Iso

Where were you when I was raised in the trap where I seen more drugs out the window than CVS

This ain't the hook ****, I came to cook ****, yo babe is hooked finna be BFs

Put this D in her league and she can be the ref, VVS flex, I'm C.T. Fletch

Keep heat, yes, big arms, he's T-Rex, and **** can't reach me, believe me, stretch

P.S. I was

Raised in the trap where I seen more drugs out the window than CVS

Murder mo' murder was all that I saw as kid, **** shoulda called CPS

Said I wouldn't make it but I'm headed to the bank

I'm getting famous to a check I got the GPS

Hoes ain't want me back then now they be packed in at my shows and they DTF

Shoulda been learning my ABCs

But I was too cool being D E F

G'd up, cold hearted underneath the chest

PTSD, you can see we stressed

Murder mo' murder was all that I saw

He was just at school now in piece he rest

We believe we next

If you live by the gun you gon' die by the gun

That's an easy bet

And the previous

Summer his mother had to bury his brother, now she's bereft

And the father was shot by a cop who's perturbed

'Cause he urged him to stop it when he request

The sun don't shine when you're submerged in darkness

I was born in it, I was birthed in darkness

Bane of my existence, immersed in darkness

I was sworn in it, now I'm purging darkness

Emerge from darkness glistening

It's a new beginning, like a christening

Had the blues, the depression was crippling

Would I or would I not survive? Suspense was riveting

I was a work of progress God was chiseling

Full court press, in the zone I was dribbling

Far from a saint on the grind on my own going hard in the paint on the baseline I'm pivoting

Going Waka Flocka on the block with choppas

Never stop when coppas got inquisitive

It took a lot to lock us, we would pop the Glocks at all the opps and y'all potential witnesses

I got a strange proposition, accepted it now I'm claiming my position

Unconcerned what remains of opposition, I'm not complaining

Just explainin' my persistence (bitch!)

'Cause I was

Raised in the trap where I seen more drugs out the window than CVS

Murder mo' murder was all that I saw as kid, **** shoulda called CPS
