[Intro]
Yeah, you seen so much (Browz, you got another one)
And you been through it all
And the vibration and the
And the frequency was so different and uh
From an era that we stood on, you know what I mean?
Thirty years, "Doe or Die" for me was
I rather be dead if I can't live how I wanna live
Now I wanna live 'cause so many of my loved ones died
Who else gon' carry on tradition?
Word up man, I'm here baby
[Verse]
Cuban link built, sleep on satin silk quilts
Spinning through them blocks where me and Half-A-Mil chilled
Had fist brawls before Phil got killed
Living piss poor, learned to deal with that filth
Lips got sealed, old wounds got healed
Groomed to getting money, got in-tuned and I peeled
Left my mark to success I start
Then that rap game came, I perfected my art
Impressive with the smarts, I already had the heart
Deadly with them darts, moving steady on the charts
Bred by them sharks, give cred to the narcs
'Cause I found my lane, pulled up and I parked
Peep my style, got a ego, how?
Wiggled out the way, I don't need no trial
I don't want no beef, only here so I can eat
I guess them streets kept a nigga on his feet
[Outro]
Always walk light, but hit hard
Schooled to keep antennas up, and stay under the radar
I made it
If you're hearing this right now, you made it
We programmed to keep it pushing
No pausing, never stop
Never give up, never quit
Respect, make today count
Until we meet again
