A wise man would come to tell me 2020's just a state of mind

What you'll come find, survival of the fittest was no lie

I'm a product of my own environment, if they didn't know

Southeast of Nigeria, back to that 2170

Where they growing flowers out the concrete like a summer weed

Caterpillar, butterfly, brothers we turn to killa bee's

Never got to be a boy, was only told to be a man

Mumma always showed dat love, old man taught a tougher hand

Let me tell you 'bout this youngin'

He was 19 somethin' then came up from nothing

With a dollar and a prayer, hands to the lord, said I'm coming

Fast forward a couple years, a lot of pain, a lot of tears

I put out work and made a stack, I lost it all, then made it back

That's why I can't beef no one on tracks

I make moves to make these racks

If I spit it, they say facts, round of applause, ra-ta-ta-ta

I come home, she rub my back

Now tilt that up and make it clap

But I can't do no 69 possy, man, I don't fuck with rats

What you know 'bout lantern dinners in the dark

Used to ride a push bike, now I push that button on the start

German engineering, while I'm steering (Vroom)

What a feeling, I'm always so humble, but today I tell you how I'm living

Bore my crosses like a Christian

I'm the one the game's been missin'

Gordon Ramsey in the kitchen, chop the dugu, it be hittin'

THC up in my system, had to smoke to numb the feeling

Either turn into an apex or be turned into a victim

They swagger stealing, love black culture, but don't love the baggage with it

Tag the villain, African down under, odds are stacked, but I'll still bag a million

And that's on mums, we gon' be great

There's more ways than one to really crack a safe, give me a break
