Uh uh

M-E-L-V-ONI ah

It’s Melvoni

Let me take y’all back

Before a **** was into the rap

Back when a **** use to chill in the trap

Where do I start, where do I start

Let’s start with the first gun

Found my first gun at six

The heater was under heater

Use to play with that shit like

Any **** run up he gon be a Peter

Bow he won’t make it a couple meters

Mentality changed soon as I touch that nina

I was just listening to Justin Bieber

Now I’m thinking bout shooting from the knee up

Any **** play my finger gon delete em

Now fast forward, when I was a jit

Thinking bout where is my placement

I grew up with them killers and drillers

Remember chilling with my dad in the basement

He was wildn but he only went to the island

For mother fucking immigration

Got caught on some other shit

But I ain’t gone talk about all his cases nah nah

I used to think that life was sweet

But now a **** getting older

Remember looking up to other ****

Now I gotta look over my shoulder

Summer nights was getting hotter

And winter days was getting colder

I know where I’m from, I won’t forget

Forever I’ll remain a soldier

I found a couple more straps in my life

But at 13 I was carrying knives

At 14 bitch I hopped off the porch

And after that I was carrying fire

I created that gang forever I bang

Babyface Apm you know the name

I was the **** that couldn’t be tamed

And this shit was right before all of the fame

Kicked outta school so I turned to the streets

Started getting money a **** got flee

Around this time met my brother ob

Funny **** tryna sell me a P

He showed me crack for the first time

I’m like gimme something I could work with

He like Rojay keep a strong mind

Trust me this ain’t really worth it

I used to think that life was sweet

But now a **** getting older

Remember looking up to other ****

Now I gotta look over my shoulder

Summer nights was getting hotter

And winter days was getting colder

I know where I’m from, I won’t forget

Forever I’ll remain a soldier

Back when I was cracking cards

And use to sell my little weed

Remember when I had a job

But it ain’t get me what I need no

And let’s not forget about

When I almost lost my mind over a bitch

They use to ask what I wanna be

When I grow up

And I always respond rich

I was always writing music

But I never thought I use it

Cause I grew up watching criminals get it

And trust me it was a influence

Then retro told me just try this shit

We was skipping school to go to Chris crib

And that’s all we did

Young dumbass kids

Feel me everyday I gotta thank god for the opportunity. Like shit really different keep it a stack. Wasn’t for this music shit i probably would’ve been in jail or not even been alive. Remember all those times I made mom dukes cry. Now I could buy her a crib and all the shit I promised as a kid.

I used to think that life was sweet

But now a **** getting older

Forever I’ll remain a soldier
