Hey, what up, man?

What's good, baby?

Ron, what up, daddy? What's up, fam? What's good, baby? Peace

How many you got, D? How many in front of me?

About six, bro, I need to cut some lines

Hold me down, alright

Ron, what's up, baby? I'm chilling, man

Yo, shawty, can you, can you— let my man jump ahead of you, man (Alright)

I got you, shorty, I got your cut, what's up?

What's up, daddy? I'm chilling, man

Watching the streets, you know what I'm saying? Waiting for your album to come out

I'll be out in a minute, daddy (Alright), I'm coming out in one second (Alright)

Gon' hit these kids with some right knowledge?

Yeah, I got some shit for them (Alright)

I got a lil' positive, lil' negative

You know, I got a lil' bit of both

Yeah, that's the balance of the universe, you know what I'm saying? Positive and negative

Gangster and a gentleman (Alright)

Spend a lil', about a lil' of everything, you know

Telling 'em how it is on these nasty streets right here (Alright)

Telling 'em how I put they heads down, I got positive shit too, though, lil' somethin'-somethin'

For the shorties, let 'em know something

What the shorties gon' get from your album, P?

They gon' learn how the streets is

They gon' learn what the streets is about

They gon' learn that everything ain't always good, you know what I'm saying? And what you taught ain't always right (Alright)

And sometimes you do wrong and you gotta pay the consequences yourself, so the streets is real

So, shorty say he heard your album, I mean, he heard you talking and you was kicking something about over-stand

You know what I'm saying? A lot of concepts they're picking up from you

Yeah, I over-stand niggas 'cause, like, the way I see the game

Everybody tries to understand something

I mean, I already, I've been above that, like, what I see

I already see the whole thing, like, you know what I'm saying? So, I over-stand the situation I am (I feel you)

So, basically, you teaching 'em how to think outside the box (Yeah, you know)

You taught, when you grow up, you taught to think how you was, how your parents was taught to think and how they parents was taught to think and how they parents was taught to think (True)

But I choose not to think like that

And that ain't the way of the world, you know, that ain't the way of the world and that ain't even the way of the law or none of that (Yeah)

But that's not my way of thinking neither, though

I follow my own, what I feel is right and could justify my heart

So, basically (What I feel is respected)

You saying in your music

You giving 'em, you thinking outside the box (Yeah), you giving 'em some type of outfit, ain't you?

Yeah, I'm giving 'em a gangster and, and a gentleman, I'm giving 'em, I'm giving 'em the Ghost (I feel you)

I'm giving them the streets, a point of view that they can't understand, that they should over-stand

I don't even know, I don't know how deep I'm going (You're giving 'em that shit, nigga)

I'm giving 'em, I'm giving 'em the spirit world

I feel you

And a very plain-form view

You know what I mean? I'm giving them the underworld too

In a very plain-form view

I'm making it easy to understand, you know what I'm saying?

I'm just a Black man

I started off as a Black child

You know what I'm saying? I'm just tryna get some money (I'll be back, yo)

Alright, daddy (Alright)

While I'm here, I'ma get mines, you know what I'm sayin'?

And I'ma raise my family, I'ma treat my family right, and I'ma

And I'ma die and I'ma go where I need to go

And that's gon' be it

Ayy, yo, I'm definitely gon' get that album, yo (Alright, daddy)

Peace, fam (Peace)

Alright

You're good
