[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Don't compare me, dog
No, no, don't compare me, dog
Not like them, nigga, that's the difference, dog
Yeah
[Chorus]
Don't compare me nowadays shit get scary
In the streets attitudes gets deadly
Shot my first gun, popped that cherry
My grandpa was tryna prepare me
(Don't know how you move but we ready)
My grandpa was tryna prepare me
(Don't know how you move but we ready)
Don't compare me nowadays shit get scary
In the streets attitudes gets deadly
Shot my first gun, popped that cherry
My grandpa was tryna prepare me
(Don't know how you move but we ready)
My grandpa was tryna prepare me
(Don't know how you move but we ready)
[Verse]
I was just young at the time, young in the mind
Took me some time to arrive
Pops locked up, grandpa took me under his wing
The goal was for me to survive
I saw the pressure apply
That's why I'm quick on my feet when I'm caught by surprise
I know it's millions of brothers out there that had a similar situation as mine
I paid attention too, we used to do what y'all niggas do
Back then there was no internet for proof
So I can't imagine what y'all living through
Comparing y'all lives to the next online
Tryna find someone to impress
Record labels giving out more money nowadays
But the real rap artists start coming out less
That only tell me one thing, I'm proud of the route I chose
I'm not gon' waste my breath tryna win y'all over for something that's been exposed
Real niggas tryna infiltrate a fake industry, it's really getting old
No artists development, so as quick as they get it they losing control
Probably can't even even hear your own thoughts sometimes
Tryna keep up with the next man
You the type to try to wait til those credit cards decline
With a heart this size, man, I have no choice
I was taught to speak up loader and don't be afraid to project your voice
They gon' provide you all your vices, but not many niggas gon' move like this
[Chorus]
Don't compare me nowadays shit get scary
In the streets attitudes gets deadly
Shot my first gun, popped that cherry
My grandpa was tryna prepare me
(Don't know how you move but we ready)
My grandpa was tryna prepare me
(Don't know how you move but we ready)
Don't compare me nowadays shit get scary
In the streets attitudes gets deadly
Shot my first gun, popped that cherry
My grandpa was tryna prepare me
(Don't know how you move but we ready)
My grandpa was tryna prepare me
(Don't know how you move but we ready)
