Ball 4 Sly

Lighter, pour that shit up, man

Them lighters in here hot

Hold the lighters up, swayzz

You know I got it

When I first started out it was more than rappin'

Livin' what I preach, I had result to cappin'

Start off slow but when it takes off, man, it overlaps you

I told a different passion, told mama at eight years old

I'ma buy her a mansion then I started stackin'

Thoughts aren't lettin' up, it's goin' after

Born to lose but I'm built for victory

Any weapon form against me could never get to me

Prosecutors tryna get me but it never threaten me

Keep it cool, collected, careful what energy, be selective

**** tryna get in where they fit in like Tetris

I could show you how to move in a room full of steppers

I turn on my vision, got my mind out of prison

Had to sit back and listen to all the signs I was given

RIP to my pops, whole family gon' miss him

But you lookin' down on us with no frown, just a big smile

Shit, different energy, I feel it now

Shit, you taught me how to drive, you taught me how to woot

Got older, got nice, watch your, watch your boots

Taught me fear no man, don't forget about your roots

It's when you said that I'm ready

I went preppin' Diana on the court, now I'm litty

Every day check my phone, you hit your boy on the celly

Ask if I'm in the gym, every day you check in

You 20/20 my legs, you did it first in my gym

You my twenty, my equal, you hit and you the sequel

You put love on your daughters, I'ma hug 'em lil' harder

I'ma put out this work, feel it jumpin' like Carter

It's funny how you can hurt, stay tight and get harder

Steppin' through sixty first, feel like Madison Gardens

Tell 'em pardon my back, ain't no beggin', no pardons

Probably my heart is L, but I'ma get it regardless

And you right now gotta stay strong

Hold it down for the fam' all day long

And when the family feuds, take the pain off

Be the sauce when they call, they remain calm

I know you love your auntie, love to fight with Leroy

You rep for your brothers, you told 'em how to eat up

Every time tricks call collect you would pick up

Tell him hold your head up

And when you touch Rose she could better

Yeah, your third daughter Melissa

Didn't grow with us, but don't you worry, 'cause she here with us

And Xavier he just like us, he attached the nine nine

Oh, I love and I, and I'ma be there for Jelly

Be their father figure, I know he wanna be like me

But he gon' do it bigger

Had your difference with Jada, but now she thinkin' bigger

Just know your baby rabbit good, that void, I'ma fill up

And I cannot forget 'bout Angela, all that cushy shit you did to her

You always try to make it right with her

And every time you told me pass her the phone

She said hang it up, I know you would never give it up

Shit, I know that you love her, I'ma make sure that she feel it

All that pain you felt, that I'ma miss you, I'ma heal it

I grind for my last name, I take care of business

Nigel Sly, you the realest, my pop till I'm finished

Shit

RIP, shit, pops

Lighter, I got you

I got us

Till the end

Pour up a little something

Just pour up all of this shit

Just watch over us

Protect us and bless our paths
