[Verse]

You old niggas should pay homage

I put on and I stay honest

And I do this shit with great honor

Honestly I thought the people just should wait on it

But here it go now so tell me what's your take on it

I've been thinking bout a lot of ways to make money

I'm 17, it's why I'm trynna be great, homie

You heard my old shit, man that was '06

My Track record stretched out like aerobics

I do it big like one man with four chicks

At the same time, still on the same grind

Make my mama proud, hope it all remains fine

It's Young Veggies, know you heard it through the grapevine

Kid rappin bout his girl, hope she stay down

Do my thing man this life is like a playground

On the swing and I hop off on the way down

I dare a hater nigga have something to say now

Tryna shine, get on my grind for the first down

And if I get tackled I hope I don't get hurt now

Started rappin, lotta ho's tryna flirt now

But she ain't good for nothin but pullin' her skirt down

I gave her ass a job, I call these girls work now

My brother in college, I hope it all work out

But I'm a star, it's too late to try to work now

I got a voice, might as well take them to church now

In this world, it's all about what you're worth now

So I rock my aviator clothes, that's some shit you'll never know

Cause it's high up in the sky, that's the place you'll never go

I used to sit up in my room, now I can go and rock a show

We ain't got nothin to prove, but everything to lose

Cause niggas walk around the hood like Ebenezer Scrooge

I always got my morals, but I'll forever think I'm cool

And niggas hating on me now, cause they got nothing else to do

I can see it in my mind, I'm trynna see if it is true

And I swear if it is, then mama you have been proved

That I did it all for you, because you always held me down

If you ain't feelin how I talk it, then respect how it sound

Visions of me and my niggas writin checks at a lounge

Every time the kid do it, know it's bout to go down

I put it all in my music, what can a nigga tell me now?

Just know I did it all for y'all

Grinded summer to the fall

I will answer with pride whenever I received a call

But when I call y'all and tell y'all that it's time to ball

Want you to stop what you're doing, head straight to the mall

Want you to shop till you chained up, can't even walk

We all slaves to this life but it's all we was taught

[Outro]

We was taught

We all slaves to this life but it's all we was taught, yeah

Yeah

We all slaves to this life but it's all we was taught, haha

Yeah

At the end of the day, no matter how you put it, life is but a dream

Dream as big as you can

Sometimes you may lose focus on the things that are most important in the perfect world

But always know there's light at the end of the tunnel

Never let them see you sweat

Never let em tell you you can't

Never doubt, never lose the purpose, never lose the grind

Peace and much love to you
