Lyrics

Aye

Ever since a youngin' I been feeling misplaced

They put food on the table but then spit in my face

I been really bout a bag, I swear to God anyway

I put my life into these streets without knowing the stakes

I'm a give it all or nothing cause if not, that's a mistake

They say they gangsta but they bluffing I can see it in they face

I was the only one shooting had to load it up and spray

I was the only one losing had to pick up on the pace

I lost a brother to them drugs now I look up and pray

Every day I'm getting farther cause you standing in place

I went ahead and grew a rose from the dirt on my name

I know they hate I came out shining and it ain't go they way

But what the fuck did you expect from me

Cause I'm destined to be great, why are you expecting less from me

I'm the closest to a chance everybody tryna pressure me

I just need for y'all to chill cause this stupid shit been stressing me

And now it's back to the basics

I been finally getting tired from the goal I been chasing

And I been staying out the way cause it's too many hating

Man, all these hoes be in my DM probably thinking I save em'

But I ain't with it

Tell that bitch to get a bag and go about her business

From a city where they shooting and they don't stop until you finish

Had a couple people try it, but I still came out, I'm winning

Man, the streets is getting wicked, but I won't let it phase me

Ever since a youngin' I been feeling misplaced

They put food on the table but then spit in my face

I been really bout a bag, I swear to God anyway

I put my life into these streets without knowing the stakes

I'm a give it all or nothing, cause if not, that's a mistake

They say they gangsta but they bluffing I can see it in they face

I was the only one shooting, had to load it up and spray

I was the only one losing, had to pick up on the pace

I lost a brother to them drugs, now I look up and pray

Every day I'm getting farther cause you standing in place

I went ahead and grew a rose from the dirt on my name

I know they hate I came out shining and it ain't go they way

Look, I'm the GOAT with this shit

They be hating on the white boy cause he cold with this shit

Could drop a million-dollar song, they wouldn't notice a hit

Been in the game for a year man, we been over this shit

But y'all the reason that I'm fighting still

I lost a brother to them drugs, now I look up and pray

Every day I'm getting farther cause you standing in place

I went ahead and grew a rose from the dirt on my name

I know that hate I came out shining and it ain't go they way

But what the fuck did you expect from me

Cause I'm destined to be great why are you expecting less from me

I'm the closest to a chance everybody tryna pressure me

I just need for y'all to chill cause this stupid shit is stressing me

I just need for y'all to chill cause this stupid shit is stressing me

More and nothing less from me

Ahem

Look, all praises to the most high

Internal motivation, you wouldn't see it with both eyes

We ain't going back to ramen noodles and horse flies

Now we eating noodles with bow ties, those guys

Young, rap, and talented lungs packed with African

From the slums and guns and young cats, is clapping em

But not for long cause Korleone is about to balance it

I load my songs with magic and poof there goes a Vatican

Introverted in liquid I bleed water

Whenever you need me, you need water

The God and The Father

He would die before dishonor, my brother's a martyr

It's crazy how shit come to light when you seeing it darker, now give me some water

Man, this that "finish line" flow

And I can only trust em far as fishing lines go

Continue to rise above as the tension die low

I'm just reaching my goal, while y'all eating my

I'm having breakfast with my children, we eating Eggos

Janelle and Janiyah, my little angels

On the side, we having Halos with halos

My son probably complaining about his Legos, and forgot his bagels

But that's just how my day go

A family man, that's how you handle business and stay low

I pay attention to them **** that don't never pay those

I'm a winner, I deserve some pesos

You a loser, you deserve tomatoes

I don't never pace those

Charge me up, they giving me prongs

They won't be satisfied until they seeing me gone

Half my life I live, the other half live in my songs

Take it or leave it, I'd rather take what's mine and I'm gone

I'm gone
