1997 God gave mama a legend Preacher said that I was destined pay attention to the reverend

Taking heed to the signs not to cool with dotted lines probably why the young boy still independent

I been on a mission tryna give em something new

Check my reputation what I say is what I do

When it all falls apart and ppl start acting new

My God is the only One that’ll stay true

Rappers claim they hot better check on the degrees

When I step up in the booth bettter cut up the A/C

In the club throwing Gs but your bars like the tundra

They dancing with lucy and flirting with karma

Grind like my dad work hard like my mama

I aint never played I ain’t one for the drama

Comma

With or without commas

Im the same dude tryna grind with my partnas

Woo

Bet they don’t it like this

Bet they don’t do it like this

Stay down stay true like this

Man up take a stand like this

Yelling Gods truth like this

Mama raised a gentlemen like this

Hood scholar educated like this

Nah man they don’t do it like, do it

Never let my future be written by my past

I live in the moment cause the present is a gift

Put in work day to day make dreams realities promise young boy imma get it how I live

Mamba mentality I know they doubting me but I will never be something Im not

Im tryna last not to fond of the Jezebels man they be moving to fast

I like my girls like my documents (saved)

I say what i must with confidence (brave)

Won’t be governed by the politics (slave)

They know exactly what time is

I know tricks of the trade

Many enslaved

Ain’t nothing changed but the date

Leaving this earth all in chains

A shameless plug for your brain

There’s freedom in Jesus’ name

Bet they don’t it like this

Bet they don’t do it like this

Stay down stay true like this

Man up take a stand like this

Yelling Gods truth like this

Mama raised a gentlemen like this

Hood scholar educated like this

Nah man they don’t do it like, do it
