[Verse]

Need you right now

16, we was smoking white owls

FDR by the east river

School lunch, ate free, now I need figures

Relief in the way, we could make you shake

Love life, my ride, I ain't trading place

Y'all was saving face, we was hopping just to take the train

Breaking gates, raising stakes

War ready, watched them play the game

Play the subtle and remain the same

Thought they had me figured out, they had me out the way

A million miles away, turning all my doubt to faith

In the middle of the swamp, I used to count the days

How you grow and go without the pain?

Uh, shrouded in the shadow when the power came

Dropping flowers on the grave, sending prayers up

Uh, pulling cards, calling all wages

Momma did the braids up

Plant the seeds, reaping fruits of our labour

Good home, city streets raised up

Remember brushing tryna get the waves up

Kings won't lay, how these niggas sleep all day?

7:30 at the table, overpaid

Grace
