[Intro]

That was some shit, you know

I remember all kind of shit that used to happen way back then, you know

There's some things that happen you gotta

Get on with your life and shit

You gotta move on with your shit

It always make things better

You gotta always stand on top whatever you're doing

Always gotta stand on top whatever you're doing

Whether you're in any state..


[Verse 1: Declaime]

My mind's confused

Why did I grow up being abused?

Feeling matters at times give me the blues

Wake up in the night, with my folks for fight

Too young to comprehend there was no end in sight

But still I know what's right

You're no one to shed light

On why life's the way it is what gives?

Tell our vision tell different strokes for different folks

I guess I just was born into a mess

Hardship is stress, but it won't get the best of me

Going for self in my own ways

Straight up caliwayz, straight up caliwayz

[Verse 2: Declaime]

Years get deeper

There's no letting up

Step-pop's a jail keeper [??] in his cup

Tour back now being black or itself

[Flaunt enforce wealth], it's my time to get away

Create better days, time to get paid

During my high school ways

Selling dope and weed loosing myself

Hearing mom's plead, for things to get better

Nevertheless I don't sweater

Blind to the system, only my niggas ever listen

Think he's in t-shirts blue nikes the works

Gots to get mine make my ways pay

Straight up caliwayz, straight up caliwayz

[Verse 3: Declaime]

Still am I gone fresh out of school

No longer under rule of my so-called pops

Baby on the way when will this madness stop

I'm now on my only never feeling lonely

In life living on the edge of a razor sharp knife

So I take a slice, of some good things in life

Fourtys and weed, cadillacs at a young age

During my blind stage, much rage packed inside

Guess I'm just for the ride

On this globe we call home

Now I'm left at Rome alone

Pursue my own faith

Do I have what it takes

To take over in this world today?

Straight up caliwayz, straight up caliwayz
