Outro

Boom

I turn things to reality from dreams

I used to get my salary from fiends

And now I'm makin' money from a stream

I came a long way from doing this for free

And I can't stop now

'Cause a man ain't just doin' this for me

I do this for Monique and Khiana and Kelis

And I know the police want me off the streets

That's why lately I've been keepin' it discreet

I just move behind the scenes

I rather spend my money overseas

With some duty free Hennessy and weed

And the weather's gotta be at least twenty eight degrees

There's gotta be at least seven of my G's

'Cause we never thought we'd get to see 2017

And all the works the man them's had to mash with the machine

And all the times the feds had tried to catch me with a key

And all the times I've sat up in a cell for crimes committed

And they're tellin' me I did it, and it actually wasn't me

All I know about is death before dishonor

Standin' in the dock wishin' death towards your honor

I said that I would put these guns and bricks down time ago

I guess that nothin' isn't promised like tomorrow

And shoutout Giggs, he brought me out in Hammersmith Apollo

These fans have got a **** takin' pictures like a model

I'm gonna write a book about my life

And chapter one is how I made it through the struggle

I've put this shit together like a puzzle

I'm pushin' kilograms just to keep my money growin' like a muscle

And my jewelry game's the opposite of subtle

I'm rollin' with a guns, true, I'm sick and tired, fuckin' up my knuckles

I'm havin' conversations with my uncle

He's sayin' that he's prayin' day and night

To keep his nephew out of trouble

And this Cali's got a **** movin' power

The only person I could really put my trust in lately is my shadow

I'm switchin' up the program like a channel

I'm whippin' in the big Pyrex's, not the one that's got the handle

But the drug game's blatantly a scandal

The prices on the bricks keep risin', so I need another angle

Last year, all my shows was gettin' cancelled

The jakes were tryna damage my financials

Well, someone tell them filthy motherfuckers

That the fire keeps burnin' like a candle

And I every day I gamble with my freedom

And I battle with these demons

And I can't believe the things I'm seein' on the social media

I wish that they could take me back in time when it was realer

I wish there was a lever I could pull

That could make these fake ****'s disappear without the thirty years

I hate to see my mum with her eyes full up of tears

I rather crack a bottle of some wine, tell her, "Cheers"

Started from the bottom, now I'm here

And when I was a kid, she didn't know what I was on, but now it's clear

And gradually, I'm killin' all her fear

I'm happy that she knows now the reason

Why I never stopped when she was sayin', "Slow down"

My attitude was young when I was young, but now it's grown now

And you know I've got my own style

I've been a dads way before I had my first child

But I think it's time I leave the streets alone now

Not just keep on stayin' up until it goes down
