Lyrics

Uh, California, West Coast
What's divine loves me, only intellectual bitches fuck me
Some got emotional PTSD, it's hard to trust me
Cause I'm a lady killer, my face like a baby ****
I talk proper, but I hate with all kinds of crazy ****
E.G. was my name at first, then I suffered from the blood thirst
That's what turned me to the beast
Yo flower got a bud first before you pollinate the streets
I fertilize my roots in due time, I'll have fruits and seeds
People wanna be like you when they see how you shinin
But they don't wanna be like you when they see how you grindin
Like Frederick Douglass, I taught myself how to read and write
Once was a slave, but I broke the chains, I know how to fight
I'm like an author and a public speaker
Prominent leader abolitionist, advocate for my Queen Latifahs
But I still will kick a **** like I'm Sonny Chiba
Drop you like this classic, while they light the beam up
I'm just a young **** tryna get my cream up
I'm just tryna get my cream up
I'm just a young **** tryna build my team up
I'm just tryna build this team up
It only gets harder
It's only gon' get harder
It only gets harder
You gotta think a little smarter
It only gets harder
So you can live a lot larger
Yo, some tried to escape
I stood my ground with a thousand rounds
Like a strong foundation is how I hold it down
They say I'm serious, never was here to play around
**** delirious thinkin' I ain't gon' stay around
I love this music shit
Love keepin' it real
Love tellin' my stories and how I feel
I'm a West Coast soldier, California born and raised
Used to get suspended at Charles Mack in my youngest days
I faced child abuse, sometimes I used to feel alone
21 foster homes, I lived in each and every zone
Yeshua wants to see me win
But Lucifer wants to see me sin
I disappear to go within
To all the melanin children, in the ghettoest building
Read your Bible, unharden your feelings
They lying to you when they tell you that the top is the ceiling
Keep doing what you love, but make sure it's part of your healing
Everything is mine for the taking
I'm a legend in the making
They be faking like some white Jamaicans
And I ain't even gotta make a statement
Soon as I come in the building
**** know it's king shit, eternal greatness
I'm just a young **** tryna get my cream up
I'm just tryna get my cream up
I'm just a young **** tryna build my team up
I'm just tryna build this team up
It only gets harder
It's only gon' get harder
It only gets harder
You gotta think a little smarter
It only gets harder
So you can live a lot larger
California
West Coast
What up with all my West Coast **** man
One love to my East Coast **** too
My dirty South ****
My Chi-Town ****
