[Intro]

Growing up in Baton Rouge

Nigga, first dream was to be a basketball player

Like, I wanted to be like the nigga Kobe Bryant

We like a block away from our opps, and we out there in the trap everyday sellin' dope

Them niggas right around the corner

You just like don't be outside right in front of the trap without no rod

Trap or strap

[Verse 1]

Made so many enemies, but why they envy me?

Bitch, we come from the gutter, the struggle makin' pennies bleed

I was splitting swishes down the middle like a centipede

Fucked a bitch under the bleachers, told a teacher, "I ain't finna read"

Shit that we was taught in social studies wasn't facts

I was studying and moving blow, the subject was smuggling packs

Can't trust your own mother, it get bloody for them racks

Bobo put me on apple Fanta's, made it muddy with that Act' (Uh-uh)

That was way back in the days when he used to line my taper up

Me calling the day, they couldn't grab some paper, tryna save it up (Tryna save it up)

Now I be tryna stay away from my savings, it gives me paper cuts

Shit was a dream, gettin' paid in my sleep, all I got to do is keep waking up

Shit no longer my imagination, I can't make this up

Shittin' on all my classmates, and bitch, my grades went up

They gave lil' Ray ten, gave me three and lost faith in us

Menaces, they labeled us, DA said we was made for cuffs (Fuck 'em boys)

But we got blessed 'cause Keitha and Aretha prayed for us (They prayed)

Now I'm obsessed with success, I can't wait for nothin'

My own CEO, fuck the checks, the labels cuttin'

Made it from hard labor, I wouldn't be you bitches slaves for nothin'

[Bridge]

See, at first, I had to sign a couple of fucked up deals

Fucked up boo-koo bags to get the object of this shit

If you ain't got a plan, you ain't gon' understand, you heard me?

They'll give you the bag, but they ain't gon' tell you what to do with it

[Verse 2]

Personal two checking's and one saving I got with Chase

INC with PNC and LLC with BOA

Like NIP, this shit a marathon, bitch, it's not a race (At all)

A minister Luwop Farrakan, show my people the way

Johnny just like Barry Bonds, I slide to make it home safe

Won't dick pull for shortcuts, fuck it, take the long way (Let's go)

Two clips taped together, hang under this long K

They starved me to the bone, I ate alone and scraped my own plate

The long face, they face expression when they see the Wraith sittin' next to 'em at the light (Skrrt)

It was a long way from home, they had to extradite me

Back to the Parish, waiting on a bond, I smoked an extra night

No words for detective's, before I rat, I'll serve a extra life

It's true, they still gonna step tonight (Yeah)

On the top, make sure my weapon right (Facts)

This ain't from the grave, I'm blessed with life

TEC gotta play, like, this is life (Grrah, grrah)

Ain't slept tonight, fuck ZZZ's, I need M's

Stacked up on weed, no more pills, free my mind, feel like Tems

Tell them bitches come see me perform live, not on film

But the bitches gotta book tickets like you at the Colosseum (Yeah)

Wrecked the 'Vet, fucking with my BM

Cop a X-6, bought that Tesla, it's electric (Electric)

Benjamin Franklin stuffed in my britches, 'cause my craft been perfected

[Outro]

The price of greatness comes with responsibility and you was made for this shit

You didn't go through the struggle for nothing, you always took the lead, remember?

That's how you got here

Keep your foot on they neck, stand up on they chest
