LOYALTY

I ain't gon' lie, it's been some days when I ain't have no pride

And I know me a couple people that ain't down to ride

And I know me a lot of people that done lied to me, lied to me

I been talking to my uncle and he still ain't reply to me

Tell me what I'm supposed to do, I'm a youngin'

Got a strong mentality because I came up from nothing

Was sitting in that shelter crying 'cause I knew I was something

But I just couldn't find nothing

Until I picked that pen up

Hungry, stomach was grumbling

Never got a hand out 'cause that ain't what I was raised to be

Stayed in that basement writing until I knew I could chase a beat

Uncle told me if I want it, chase it, never think secondly

I've been giving it all I got and still ain't got the best of me

I got more in me, I stay at ten, never got four in me

Told my mama I won't stop until she got them foreign keys

I ain't worried 'bout nothing else 'cause this my priority

These other rappers babies to me, I call them minorities

I've been going so hard that they cannot get bored with me

I done lost some people I love, so I keep the Lord with me

And I get to pick and choose the people that's gon' soar with me

'Cause you can't go nowhere without no loyalty

If you ain't got no loyalty, then you ain't got nothing

Even when I ain't have nothing, I still had something

'Cause I knew I had a gift, and I had me a bag coming

Had it stuck in my head, I just knew that my dad coming

If you ain't got not loyalty, then you ain't got nothing

Even when I ain't have nothing, I still had something

'Cause I knew I had a gift, and I had me a bag coming

Had it stuck in my head, I just knew that my dad coming, yeah

When I get rich, I'm moving further than the hills

Every time I write a song, it's like a story I got to tell

'Cause I ain't doing well, my father locked in the cell

A lot of people can relate, so I know that they got to feel

Remember them days when me, Tre and Frank was walking around the neighborhood

'Cause we ain't having nothing else to do with ourselves

Remember them days everything was perfect, arguments wasn't working

Now my family going back down that hill

I feel like stuff be going left from right to side to side

Got some people that's trying to work with me, I might decide

'Cause it's ones that's been in my past to me, they really lied

And I'm somebody you won't get, so you gon' need a guide

They say that pressure coming, but I say it's been applied

I'm feeling weak 'cause I got people I love in the sky

They say it's time to eat, so, yeah, I say it's dinner time

They be like, "Noonie, it's your time", I say it's been a time

Yeah, I got bars forever, I got to make it, ain't no stars forever

I got people that's waiting on me, they depending on better

Plus I'm depending on myself, trying to make it all better

My whole life like a brick on my chest, it ain't nothing like feathers

First my granny died, and then my auntie Megan died

And now my uncle died, I know my mama traumatized

I see it in her eyes, she tryna beat the odds

My family tryna beat the cries, but they can't beat the cries

If you ain't got no loyalty, then you ain't got nothing

Even when I ain't had nothing, I still had something

'Cause I knew I had a gift, and I had me a bag coming

Had it stuck in my head, I just knew that my dad coming

If you ain't got no loyalty, then you ain't got nothing

Even when I ain't had nothing, I still had something

'Cause I knew I had a gift, and I had me a bag coming

Had it stuck in my head, I just knew that my dad coming, yeah
