If you don't grind you don't shine homie

If you ain't chasing dreams, you wasting time homie

Oh you with them extras, aight homie

I feel your vibe but don't let that shit ruin your mind homie

I walk away when I came

Situations lose lose, some just don't understand

I work hard to provide and be the man for my fam

And at the same time, help these rappers much as I can, damn

What's with all hate in your heart, smiling in my face, you a pro at playing the part

I struggled upstream but now I'm in to deep with my sharks

Torn between taking your life or saving it with my art

Yea, the hood got us crazy think about what you do

Why you got enemies that got the same struggle as you

They got the same skin tone that your father does too

You on a mission and your victim look exactly like you

You know it's hard out here and I ain't lying

Move how we move cause we ain't scared of dying

We came here alone, every man is an island

Used to the pain so there ain't no point in crying

And that's because this dream got me numb

These drugs got me numb

Only thing I feel is I can't trust no one

Yea this dream got me numb

These drugs got me numb

Only thing I know is I can't love no one

And that's the biggest lie the devil told you

And you really believe you ain't a soldier

You let the people and crazy world mould you

You gonna let the ways of the world fool you

Stop

I was made for this shit

Talk the talk and I walk it

Got the trail in a grip

I ain't saying I'm a killa, I don't mean that one bit

But if you looking a victim, best believe I ain't it

Bitch I'm brown and I'm proud of what my father done did

Came to this country with no papers and he worked for what's his

Had a son with a woman who had 2 other kids

And provided for us all, that's the life that he lives

And why this generation act like they were the shit

Why the OGs be basing the youngsters up a bit

Can't do they time when they get busted so they snitch on the clique

Shoot their homies in the back and rob them for a lil drip

You know it's hard out here and I ain't lying

Move how we move cause we ain't scared of dying

We came here alone, every man is an island

Used to the pain so there ain't no point in crying

And that's because this dream got me numb

These drugs got me numb

Only thing I feel is I can't trust no one

Yup this dream got me numb

These drugs got me numb

Only thing I know is I can't love no one

You know it's hard out here and I ain't lying

Move how we move cause we ain't scared of dying

We came here alone, every man is an island

Used to the pain so there ain't no point in crying

And that's because this dream got me numb

These drugs got me numb

Only thing I feel is I can't trust no one

Yea this dream got me numb

These drugs got me numb

Only thing I know is I can't love no one
