[Intro: Hunxho]

Huh

[Verse: Hunxho]

Goin' to jail helped me find patience with myself

Ain't feel like waitin' on myself or nobody else

Don't need nobody help

Can't put my pride to the side, do it all myself

On Dre, that shit there killed me, I don't know how I'm still livin'

And I pray the Lord forgive me, but I'm like God inside these trenches, God

Xho, how you get money, but still let all of your young niggas rob? Yeah

'Cause I can't say that I made it, I ain't there

Do they hate me? Should I care?

'Cause thеy don't check on me, ain't worried 'bout nobody but thеyself, aw

And I done fell a hundred times, but never fell off

And lately, I been wearin' condoms, but I'm still raw, dog

Can't never get stuck in the middle, I know I'm a winner

A shooter be drivin' in all of my cars, if any nigga play, they'll end 'em

I don't like talkin' 'bout beefin' on songs, but all of my opps tryna spin 'em

Know I done been in that jam, shit, I know how to get out that blender, yeah

I put everything on Brenda, six, no I ain't just a pretender, yeah

They could have a hundred hands, shit, I know they still wouldn't lend 'em

If you know me, you know I'm a dog, shit, you know I belong in a kennel

If you know me, you know all my cars bought, ain't none of these bitches a rental

Woah, wait, I wake up and get more pape'

Can't believe that I'm so paid

Most of these bitches I'm fuckin' go both ways

Now I make me a million in four days

You live by the gun and you die by the gun

I don't see me dyin' from old age

I get a hundred a show, I used to rob for 4K, yeah, yeah

Huh, I been goin' hard, can't say I'm not tryin'

She jump when I say so, she not Zion

Yeah, made it up outta the jungle and, nigga, I'm not lyin'

[Outro: Big Rube]

I tried to come into this world feet first, so God saved my life before it even started

I was blessed with the guidance of my father's wisdom and the love of an understanding mother's heart

I was taught the value of respect for self and others in a world where this has become luxury

All the things that I complained I didn't have, I know now that was really more than enough for me

Some kids don't have food in they bellies, clothes on they backs, or a bed to even sleep at night

Often, we don't see the things we should be thankful for until we suffer through enough to make us see the light

For a people to be displaced and enslaved, robbed of their culture, God, and stripped of their identity

And after generations gone by, forced to live amongst and be dependent on the enemy

Put into situations where survival is through hard choices and then judged as if they ever had an equal chance

Brutalized by the ones that should protect us, and they say that our society is civilized and more advanced

The fact that I can send this message to you now proves without a doubt that miracles can still happen for us

We gon' overcome the obstacles we're facing now, no matter what the adversary does, he cannot destroy us

All the murders and the drugs and the prison ever has done or will do is waste our lives

We will transcend this darkness and not only just survive, but I guarantee we rise

Above the putrid stench of death and evil deeds

Above the hatred and not caring for each other's needs

We can change it all starting with our hearts and minds

Because as long as we draw breath, we still got time

Thank God
