[Intro]

Ay Turn That Bitch Up Glory


[Verse 1]

They say the good die young, so I was born a sinner

Lot of l's in my past, I wasn't born a winner

You see, where I'm from, I'm just another nigga

Another nigga with a voice, just another singer

Hood nigga, street nigga, hope you know the difference

I know they compare me to other niggas, I don't ever listen

Don't ever think me and you are the same, you and I are different

I swear we must be playing different games, I don't stand for ignorance


[Chorus]

I swear ima' be a legend, for I past thru'

Gotta keep your head straight, don't let em' gas you

Momma said you gotta work hard, don't let em' pass you

And just watch out for the snakes, don't let em' catch you

I said watch out for the snakes and I wouldn't put it past you

Watch out for the fakes, so my heart began to bag you

I did what I did, 'cause I had to

If I ever did the things you did, you'd be mad too

Trust me, you'd be mad too


[Verse 2]

Lookin' for it, I was skeptical

And I ain't have time to be stressing you

And I ain't have time to be frontin' you

Feel like my ditches became smaller than a decimal

Look me in my eye when I'm addressin' you

Askin' me before, so your word to me isn't credible

He told me before, you can't make yourself accessible

You can't let these niggas get next to you

They did that, they always step ahead of me

Ahead of me

You came because I know that you envy me

Envy me

Frienemy, these niggas ain't no friend of me

Ion't understand how the energy, with the enemy

And I know they wanna see the end of me

Know they wanna see the death of me

The jealousy, got them tryna stop my destiny

Swear I climb to the top while you rest asleep

And climb when you not unconstantly

Move cautiously, cause you petty niggas hate my prophecy, it's not hard to see


[Chorus]

Ima' be a legend, for I passed em'

Gotta keep your head straight, don't let em' gas you

Momma said you gotta work hard, don't let em' pass you

And just watch out for the snakes, don't let em' catch you

I said watch out for the snakes and I wouldn't put it past you

Watch out for the fakes, so my heart began to bag you

I did what I did, 'cause I had to

If I ever did the things you did, you'd be mad too

Trust me, you'd be mad too
