Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Practice what you preach
Stop lettin' snakes rattle on your streets
I remember feds put in a grapple in my teens
I was chokin', screamin' that I couldn't breathe
Imagine I was Eric Garner
This was way before the camera phone sagas
Stopped me in my middle and I didn't get no after
Imagine Martin Luther King was Obama
[Verse 2]
Lately I feel they've been preein' my vibe
That's why I keep it in drive
Pull up, skrrt, jump out the ride
(Big 45) Shit, that was broad daylight
If I shoot you, I'm brainless
If you shoot me, you're famous
Jay wrote the Bible and I studied all the pages
Never judge a book by the cover, you get cases
The game so dangerous
Social worker flow, I grew up in a social worker home
Never let the social get involved 'cause
Now I'm antisocial
When everybody's tryna find emotion
Me, I'm tryna go and buy a ghost so I can disappear in it
Fruits of my labor, now I'm Tony Blair wit' it
Black lives matter 'cause they're killin' bare ****
And we're some rare ****
They don't wanna know our life story
[Verse 3]
I don't wanna know about nobody else
'Cause I swear nobody else here wanna know about me
I still barely know myself, but now they know about me
They want hugs, but there's arms lettin' go around me, yeah
I hope my **** safe
There's no church in the wild, but I know my **** pray
I spent days in the back, back in the days
That's why the only social thing about me is my Twitter page
[Verse 4]
Tweet, tweet
I can get a couple bags for a retweet
You don't buy views when you're chillin' in the box seats
Before I couldn't afford to see Thierry Henry
I just shared a box with Thierry Henry
It's just perspective
[Verse 5]
Now let me give you mine
The shit I don't is the shit you like
Imagine havin' nothing but a diamond that'll give you dimes
That's you, mama, I'd kill myself just to give you life
You taught me to have a bottle and now I give you wine
Whatever's mine is yours, that's why I give you mine
That's real **** shit, I know, ****
Shit's real where I've grown
We grew up in broken homes, tryna fix bein' broke, uh
[Verse 6]
Heads high, tryna kill 'em on the low
We were young, Kid Rock's just slingin' from our phones
When the block got hot, we were tippin' on our toes
Then they got tipped off, started kickin' in our homes
[Verse 7]
How the fuck you gonna kill my dreams? I don't even sleep
I ain't reachin' my peak, I'll peak and I won't even reach, yeah
I was in T with Os and some P
Now I sat nav T-O-P when I'm roamin' the streets
[Verse 8]
Was an O or two away from ownin' a key
But now I've got Millennium Dome in my reach
I'm roamin' the streets, holdin' my peace
Holdin' my piece, so you ain't got a chair for me
'Cause the throne is my seat
[Verse 9]
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole game
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole game
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole game
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole game
[Verse 10]
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole game
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole game
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole game
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole
[Verse 11]
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole game
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole game
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole game
Young fire old flame
Young fire old flame
Let it burn till we kill the whole game
