Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When they gave up on me, I still held ’em down
They jump ship, man, I should’ve let ’em drown
Back when I was killin’ shit, I was it, shit, it was lit
But when I no longer was it…
They tried to play me like a—like the clown
They even tried to rob Banks, I had to take ’em to the town
Talkin’ masked up, n****s lucky I ain’t follow through
Talkin’ way before the ’Gram, was ’bout to have them killas follow you
They ain’t care about the story, they just had you in they views
But had too much to prove, and a lot to lose too
When shit was up, man, I was stuck, ain’t know what to do
It’s either send some them vultures at ’em, and they don’t play about they food
Or chalk one up to the game… but then I’m playin’ by they rules, so
I had to pick and choose
Sign that 360 or get they block spunt
But I chose to lock in instead of the homies locked up
I was down to risk it all, man, I was doin’ this for y’all
Tryna feed your souls and feed my family
But then I went and dropped the ball, man, I done missed my shot and all
Breaking bread, they takin’ food off my plate
But I’m happy it ain’t go down — I wouldn’t have my son now
I know I’m ’bout to make him proud of me
[Bridge]
F**kin’ models and poppin’ bottles
(That ain’t the goal at all)
Tryna get my n****s up out the trenches
(That’s the protocol)
Real ones that held me down, yeah
(We goin’ on — we goin’ up)
It ain’t no hoe in me — I’m still about my business
(I hope they know what’s up)
By any means, I gotta feed the fam, so I’m showin’ up
Now whenever we in the building…
(They gon’ know it’s us)
[Hook] (x3)
I’d do it all again — yeah, I’d take the pain
Still carry all that weight, it made me who I am
I’d do it all again — wouldn’t change a thing
Still carry all that pain — it made me who I am
[Verse 2]
And it ain’t shit that I would change
All them statements that I made is what made you invest in Banks
But I be goin’ through these withdrawals — hidin’ behind this pain
Thinkin’ that was the way to keep me safe
Took some losses and some gains
It don’t work out, I get bent all outta shape
Hometown hero just couldn’t put down the cape
Tryna save everybody… the one that need to be saved
Silent cry for help, guess I’m the only one could save me
They mad that I stayed ten toes — they couldn’t break me
Pressure on me, still ain’t fold — and see, that’s what made me
Paranoid still, I won’t let a n***a shake me
So if you play both sides of the field… it’s off safety
B*tches mad I’m so unavailable lately
Chrome hearted — how materialism made me
Love ain’t an option ’cause f**kin’ you just don’t pay me
Right now, it’s only f**k you… pay me
Til these labels pay me!
[Bridge]
F**kin’ models and poppin’ bottles
(That ain’t the goal at all)
Tryna get my n****s up out the trenches
(That’s the protocol)
Real ones that held me down, yeah
(We goin’ on — we goin’ up)
It ain’t no hoe in me — I’m still about my business
(I hope they know what’s up)
By any means, I gotta feed the fam, so I’m showin’ up
Now whenever we in the building…
(They gon’ know it’s us)
[Hook] (x3)
I’d do it all again — yeah, I’d take the pain
Still carry all that weight, it made me who I am
I’d do it all again — wouldn’t change a thing
Still carry all that pain — it made me who I am
