Should I use my turn to retaliate?

I'm measured by the size of my caliber it seems mine

Let's go

Should I use my turn retaliate?

I'm measured by the size of my caliber, it seems mine could make a lil room to recalibrate

Between time hangin' by a thread, that's Balmain

Street signs navigate our cities to accelerate, gang signs orchestrate my hood to boost the murder rate

FaceTime reassurin' me love stayed the same, whole time they was in my face and everything changed

Oh I'm haunted by the 45, the ones that I love it took those lives

Stayin' up all night turned to closed eyes, that re-open the day that my soul flies

Oh I know that it's my turn, waitin' on my move is a slow burn

Makin' doubters react like sulfur, cause they see me makin' moves with a chauffeur

Bang

**** where's the chemistry?

Multiply those moments **** froze like a figurine

Apply it to mistake you made, deep inside yo' memories

Divided by the happiness you feel when you pretend to be happy

I was raised where the kids would be nappy, still expected to make a degree happen

I could say the outcome was tragic, cause in the end most 'em made it to a casket

So throw them chains up, all them diamonds on yo' fingers put yo' rings up

Pose for this like a **** who ain't gave up, so I can use it's time to put yo' frame up

****

I know they changed up, they kept tryna bury you once you came up

So why yo' head down?

**** lift yo' face up, so I can use when it's time to lift my pain up

Red beam on yo' nose might knock yo' rude off

Breathe slow relocate and cool off

Cause we know what comes if you T-off, ACP's rip yo' whole Tee off

Bad rules **** made, became law

You fightin' you seemed to steer you wrong, now it's you fightin' me and winner takes all

But I'm through with takin' loses, got my back against the wall

Damn near carryin' this world, who gon' catch it if I fall

Tryna deal with heartbreak, caught up in this jigsaw

Hella pieces in my puzzle that nobody wanna solve

It's too hard to see the bigger picture peekin' through a straw

I've been both feet in with no hand-outs, I'm outstandin' so I know I stand out

I was standin' outside with both hands out, 'til I stood on my own and iced my hands out (yea)

Shotgun sawed-off, got no one in my passenger

Turned shotty to the opps and dumped it out the canister

Turned shawty to a boss, learned how to manage her

Cleaned her dirt out, that's only sum a real man will cure

Jumpin' on a chance and made it here without no landin' gear

Father's a magician, only trick you knew was disappear

Under God's conditions, I still paved a way to conquer fears

Life is a crime and we all servin' a hunnid years, so throw them chains up
