[Intro]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

And it's hard to keep your eye on the prize, when you come out the trenches where, niggas, they don't survive (They don't survive)

Will I get a mil' and put on for the team? (Put on)

Will I see eighteen and get to live out my dreams?

I'm startin' to think I think too much

But my mama, she think I don't think enough

But I'm startin' to think that I think too much

But my mama believe I don't think enough

Ayy, ayy

[Verse 1]

Young nigga and I come straight out the bottom

Where the younger niggas pistol poppin'

And that's how we solve all they problems

And it kinda make me wonder, “Will a nigga fall a victim?”

My brother hit for a chicken, I think somebody gon' kill him

I think it's best I give him this choppa while I tote a thirty rounds

I don't pull over for coppers, I know how it's goin' down

Won't shoot me with my hands up

'Cause I'm young, black, and handsome and in this Phantom, tryna get my bands up

Beast while in the streets but I'm still my grandma grandson

No remorse for me so I gotta keep my pants up

Beast while in the streets but I'm still my grandma grandson

No remorse for me so I gotta keep my pants up

[Chorus]

And it's hard to keep your eye on the prize, when you come from the trenches where, niggas, they don't survive (They don't survive)

Will I get a mil' and put on for the team?

Will I see eighteen and get to live out my dreams? (What about my dreams?)

I'm startin' to think I think too much

But my mama, she think I don't think enough

But I'm startin' to think that I think too much

But my mama, she think I don't think enough

Ayy, ayy

[Bridge]

I don't think enough (No, I don't)

I don't think enough (No, I don't)

I don't think enough

[Verse 2]

Sometimes it feel like nobody understand me

I'm tryna get moms a Bentley and get a mansion for granny

I got bigger problems than you, bitch, I'm tryna feed my family

Everybody get mad, they can't get a piece of the candy

Can't make everybody happy, they feel like I'm doin' 'em dirt'

Was sippin' lean and smokin' purp, just tryna calm down my nerves

Everyday somebody else face end up on a shirt

So the shit won't work, I think I need to go to church

Instead, I'm thuggin' and robbin' and hangin' with all of the goblins

Mama said, "Go to school" but I was hangin' in the projects

Can't think in math class 'cause ain't no money in my wallet

Can't even go to lunch 'cause ain't no crunch in my pocket

[Chorus]

And it's hard to keep your eye on the prize (On the prize), when you come from the trenches where, niggas, they don't survive (They don't survive)

Will I get a mil' and put on for the team? (That's for the team)

Will I see eighteen and get to live out my dreams? (My dreams)

I'm startin' to think I think too much

But my mama, she think I don't think enough

But I'm startin' to think that I think too much

But my mama, she think I don't think enough

Ayy
