[Verse]

3 AM and I'm just riding through my city

Thinkin' to myself like I'm the realest nigga in it

I know I might forgive, but best believe I won't forget it

Be tryna stay low-key, 'cause they gon' treat me like I'm Wemby

They know I got a sack like I'm comin' down the chimney

I wish that I could make every event, but I get busy

I wish that I could post up in the hood, but that shit tricky

The narcs hit the block, I got my gun, that's just too risky

Hell nah, I can't go for that

I be havin' talks with the bros, they gon' tell me facts

Tell me I should move out the Bay 'cause this shit hold me back

Worried about a million other things that I forget I rap

Got one shot and I just gotta take it

'Member havin' hoop dreams, but that shit deflated

Shit, I probably ain't gon' see nobody ever make it

'Cause where I'm from, they call it dick-riding, you say congratulations

Yeah, hatin' on a nigga, I cannot embrace it

Call me what you want, but I am not a faker

Always give my best like Anita Baker

Feel like I'm livin' life fast, I been speed racin'

Thinkin' 'bout my cuz, loyal to the end of time

I don't think you understand the pain I feel inside

Get inside the car, start it up, and I just ride

Thinkin' 'bout the times all we wanted was to shine

Always been myself, I don't do no gimmicks

Yeah, brother love to shoot, yeah, he like Cole Bennett

I be tryna share my heart, but that shit so empty

I'm so close to make it out, shit like fourth and inches

Yeah, I just put my pain into passion and diamonds

Waited my whole life, now I need it on arrival

People do so little, but they feel so entitled

Gotta make it home, this shit all about survival

In occasion when your idol turn your rival

I'm so close, feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope

The same shit, I'm just tryna change the cycle

Gotta stop worryin' 'bout if everybody like you
