Oh, you came there, God. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh,lord. No matter how
No matter how long it take, n***a Oh,God,Yeah You better be

Spiralin' up, just like a rich n***a staircase(Spiral up)
No fly zone, please stay the **** out my air space(Out my space)
N***as say things behind backs they wouldn't dare say(Dare say)
Know it's on sight when I see you, I'm workin' with SquareSpace
Yeah, top of the mornin', I know that you thought I was dormant
Woke up early from shots were swarmin'. A block full of opps, now the cops in a orbit
'Guess somebody got popped ,now they knockin' on doors
Tryna find an informant but I ain't see nathin'
I'm mindin' my business as God is my witness
No weapon gon' proser that’s formin' against me
N***a, I'm starvin', immensely
Know when I'm done with these songs, you gon' miss mе
Ja Morant, I'm on my grizzly
You n***as just cubs but no, not the ones in the big lеagues
After Thе Fall Off, I promise I'm comin' to sellin' out Wrigleys
N***a, I'm just a product of poverty, full of narcotics
to profit off quickly
My family tree got a history
of users that struggle with demons
Not really the hustlin' instincts
Therefore, often, my pocket was empty
So while some of my partner was servin' up rocks
on the corners, the project assemblies
Me, I was startin' to envy
Wanna be on the top where it's plenty
Wanna be in the spotlight where every b***h want me
Like Rihanna droppin' new Fenty
What I see in the sky, the Ville is the ceilin', can't reach up too high evidently
Nah, s**t, I can't reach up too high, evidently
Never seen no one drivin' a Bentley
I can't be out here moppin' no Wendys

My life is all I have
My rhymes, my pen, my pad
And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me
What you sayin' now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from (Come from)
So often (So often)
People you grow up with laid in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It's my time now my world, my life, my life

Say what?
The stuff that I've seen got me traumatized
I let the K go and Johnny died
Swangin' that mother****er side to side
We don't participate, ain't with that squashin' s**t
All we believe in is homicide
I got a good heart, so I send teddy bears
Every time we make their mommas cry
I pray that my past ain't ahead of me (21)
When I'm in love, I love heavily (On God)
If you betray me, you dead to me (21)
I disrespect you respectfully (21)
I got some partners who left this Earth
Maybe the pain made a better me (On God)
Just know they secrets is kept with them (On God)
I feel like the streets is in debt with me (Straight up)
I gave my heart away to all the dawg hoes 'cause that's who accepted me (21)
I blame my pops for that s**t 'cause if he didn't fail, he could've corrected me (21)
Give all the props to my momma 'cause no matter what, she always protected me (On God)
I promise you, it ain't no checkin' me (On God)
Jump in the water, get wet with me (Straight up, 21, 21)
You want my money or wanna have s*x with me?
Can't let the opps or the law get the best of me
I get to answerin', you get to textin' me
I see chicken, you n***as is breast to me
Planted a seed but it ain't a sesame
Can't let you n***as or b***hes grow next to me

My life is all I have
My rhymes, my pen, my pad
And I done made it out the struggles, don't judge me
What you sayin' now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from (Come from)
So often (So often)
People you grow up with laid in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It's my time ,my world, my life, my life
