[Intro]

I'm in the motherfuckin' zone

Hold tight to my brudders

We the realest, we the realest, ha

Okay, tell 'em

LJ


[Verse]

Life...everything I've written I've witnessed

But I ain't spittin' everythin' I've witnessed

If you're not part of the circle, and you want to live it, then it's business

Look at all these fake artists

Tell me, can they touch a heart or soul like this?

Nah, I remember gettin' no last gifts

I rose from the rubble and the cold night shifts

Like, blue bag, fam, just give me what you got

I remember card evil and the druid, yeah

Then the recession hit every kid in the block

But I kept some hard food in the pouch there

That's when I clocked the cat's addiction to the rocks

Then soon after, my addiction to the guap

After that it became difficult to stop, like

Give me the liquor, let me hit a couple shots

I said, give me the light, I been swallowed by the darkness

Give me the line and I'll shot Oz's to these bastards

Gimme the nine and I’ll cock it for my partners

Gimme the pride and I’ll honour it like my father

I swear the day they came and took my dad

I could've killed a cop or two, and I wouldn’t look back, uh

Imagine, back then, I was only 6

Just picture what I’ll do now with a loaded stick

Like, blue bag, fam, have you wishin' you were dead

Violate my brothers and I'm fillin' you with lead

I'm tryin' to get the grub, 'cause I've got sisters to be fed

But I am tied to the hustle, still, I'm in this till the death, uhh

I said we're in this to the death

Sick of this life, I'm tryin' to be righteous, but we singin' for the bread

Commitin' the crime and stay silent when you're dealin' with the feds

Give me the mic, let me ignite it, I'm deliverin' my stress

City in the west, in the west of the city

If you want vengeance, invest in the strizzy

If you need protection, stay blessed with the Lord

Fuck it, pay respect when you're mentionin' Jinny

Said I, city in the west, in the west of the city

If you want vengeance, invest in the strizzy

If you need protection, stay blessed with the lord

Fuck it, pay respect when you're mentionin' Jin-nay

I'm feelin' twisted from the Henney

I need to risk it for the belly

Yeah, I've gone a few years and I'm karma

Steal from the family, go ballistic with the semi

One bag, two bag, three bag, four, find out who you trust to be knockin' at your door

To my brudders, I'll meet you at the top of the four

I pray I don't lose the hunger when I stop livin' poor, like

Brother, can you relate? I've been slangin' for ages

A couple of ounces of the flake, then up and down the estates

Spunk it all in the bookies

And take the ounce back again

Lord, show me a way

I been out here for days

Blue bag, fam, the beginnin' of a story

This is just the first page of the book

In it to win it, I won't forfeit

Yaseen said it, we was raised by the wolves, slap

Nina, we're the realist, we don't need to say shit

Shouts to my mother, 'cause I seen her raisin' 8 kids

You always knew what's best for me

I hope I die before I see you rest in peace


[Outro]

Calm

Yeah, I'm calm (calm), yeah, I'm calm

Fuckin' calm, LJ!

Still here

Just warmin' up, motherfuckers

Holla at me, ha!
