This rap shit is real so why you playing wit yo time Either you gon grind or dont write another rhyme My only piece of mind is when I vent to a beat This is me being me, you need people like me This life shit is real so why you playing wit yo time Either you gon grind or dont write another rhyme My only piece of mind is when I vent to a beat This is me being me, you need people like me Domesticated dogs dont fit in packs wit wolves A nigga rather go out like pac then end up like suge So many hits, its gon be hard to miss I got some shit in tuck for whoever disliking this Threaten my mother crib, I'll show up where ya mother live Im droppin whoever on sum disrespectful shit Fuck a diss track, I can't afford a get back Body bags and coffins, toes gettin tagged Tell em hate or relate, they gotta drop me to stop me Even after I die bet a nigga try to copy New perspective demand respect from the reckless From hand shaking wit peasants to going to war wit legends Niggas get disrespected for being disrespectful Niggas a test you and wont be scared to stretch you Its kill or be killed, they all see you as food Short his fuse wit the tool and have em star on the news My only piece of mind is when I vent to a beat This is me being me, you need people like me Get it together, ya smokin more than ever You fallin off wit the rhymes but you gettin better Ahead of the curve, death to you birds, im better wit words So you should keep my name out ya verbs Sicker than you and whoever you bring around I see you now so now I'm coming to beat you down Fast forward for future reference, you was the new attendant I was in the upper class battling all the legends I been here before, nothin's new under the sun Im shootin up dis shit til I'm shot to number one Its hunger where im from, drums given to sons If you cant afford to fend then you give him a gun Top ten aint what im after, I came to debate Like when a nigga say a line and you can relate I write for the writers who read between lines Writing 16's from different spaces of mind These are the times to put it in perspective Understanding each other so we all get the lesson God blessed me for all the things that he showed me The pain's a reminder to stay away from the old me This is for the people that never jumped from the ship Real dialogue that I'll never let me forget... This is me being me, you need people like me This rap shit is real so why you playing wit yo time Either you gon grind or dont write another rhyme My only piece of mind is when I vent to a beat This is me being me, you need people like me This life shit is real so why you playing wit yo time Either you gon grind or dont write another rhyme My only piece of mind is when I vent to a beat This is me being me, you need people like me

God wrote the gospel, i just do what i gotta do They said winning's impossible, i dont think that was logical But we here anyway, might as well celebrate Had set the record straight, now its time to elevate Case and point, i play a joint you feel the soul in it Can't look me in the eyes cus niggas is cold timid I dont rock wit kind, you niggas is outta line But i guess we can chalk it to, outta sight, outta mind You niggas flows is behind, you niggas is losing time You paying off the refs, you niggas is getting lined Old school flows wit a up to date tempo My business hours 9 to 5 or hang out the window This is for the niggas that never gave up on me When I'm going thru my shit and niggas around for me If i ever forget, rewind me back to this Rest in peace to my niggas, you'll always be missed Dis shit insane, im switchin lane, still spittin pain Still the same, im in the range wit different dames Its ashame that niggas will never learn the game We aint the same, im into thangs wit bigger names Millionaires and billionaires, a million here, a billion there I can it feel it in the air, so I took my business there Drastic mind switch, kept the hood shit in bondage Perfect the craft that other shit is nonsense Whats in yo conscious, build or destroy ya black people Destroy the fakeness and uplift yo black people We are the culture and vultures be tryna take from us If history repeat itself they tryna separate us Yall still aint paid us, til then we need them papers Ya'll waiting on Christ to return he aint gon save us Once you learn the tricks of the trade, they cant play you Never let em break you, they aint the ones that made you These Benevolent flows is irresistible

New year so im going for mine Niggas better catch up or get left far behind Ahead of the curve, I seen em hating from years away They fear the strength in our power, they tryna take away It's clear as day that I'm here to stay for the legacy Chasin my destiny with every single breath in me Im switching lanes so im fading to black on some niggas No U-turns but I'll be back for my young niggas Get away clean and wipe my hands of the shit Start my own business and put my fam on some shit Never settle for less the work builds your worth Keep ya head in the game, and focus on ya work Ridin thru the city, gettin high wit some biddies A mami jawn wit a big booty and bomb tittes Watching tv while rollin a game leaf Smoking and thinking of leaving the game, b Game point, and I hit that shit from the half court Niggas tryna pass scores but everybody passed yours We not a match cus im cut from a way better breed Til the death of me im working on my legacy To be the best, you beat the best, see thats the real move Niggas selling you stolen lines but you the real fool I was in it for the paper then transcended to the art Niggas rappin bout fake lives, thats what sets us apart These words is for my people to feed em cus i cant free em If they aint apart of the solution, then i dont need em Was never perfect but im worth it in the long run This gon be the kiss goodnight.. and its a long one Throw whatever at me, I'm coming back for some more shit We can get to it like men on some war shit Hit the turning signal then im switchin up lanes Light the L behind my ear and breath out the pain I arrived wit a different approach Til I die they'll be feeling my ghost (Im not a nigga that boasts) Switching Lanes is how I did it for sho Switching Lanes is how I did it for sho (I thought you niggas should know) I switch lanes like I switch up my flows Switching lanes like I switch up the flows

Dear dad, I'm just penning this letter Just to let you know I'll never forget ya I know you watching all the messes i made I can hear u now, boy, why dont you pray To who? Some invisible guy that's in the sky Who gon watch all my moves and judge em when I die I'll pass but the boys gettin bigga Mir so stubborn, he remind me of my sister Mod think he grown tryna do things on his own Shirl got em tablets, they even working these phones I want you to be you proud, look down n smile Who woulda thought I'd have my own child I always wanted a brother so i was blessed wit twins Now i got two sons and i gotta raise them as men Teach em what you taught me n what i learned in life Be mindful who you love, dont make mistakes twice Dear dad, I hope that you can understand That I'm tryna be a better man I hope that you can understand That I'm tryna be a better man Dear dad, I hope that you can understand That I'm tryna be a better man I hope that you can understand That I'm tryna be a better man Dear dad, I'm just tryna be a better man I hope that you can understand Having respect and morals is important to me But some people never learn.. unfortunately I dont know it all but i know what i know So I share it wit my people to help them grow Reach one, teach one is the song I sing Give love to the world, you'll receive the same thing You taught me that a patient man never show his hand Be grateful for whatchu got and always take a stand My mom had a habit i hope you forgive her All i got is memories and a couple of pictures Im grateful for the time we got to spent together Even gave my son ya name so it live forever My fondest Memory is your gold tooth smile And you always picking me when i fell as a child Last but not least ya baby boy is a man Im learning to accept things, i dont understand Like.. women instance, times is different Women movin like men so positions is switching For everything you been thru, your a wonderful guy Kept a clean suit so you always was fly As i bring it to an end, I wanna thank you again Greatest dad in world no man can replace him

Said you'll never change when u get the fame Then get the fame and you start to change Now you in the game tryna switch ya lane All these new faces now you see the change Tryna figure out when it all came Around the same time you said you'll never change With a style like this you couldn't figure me out Over the body like look at me now Been a while since i used this style What's in here can disperse a crowd This the second coming like Adonis Creed You asked for this, naturally Niggas switched cus they fuck niggas Fuck whoever love them niggas No U turns when you jump ship Catch a drum roll from these drum sticks 100 rounds, aint no duckin dis, oh you love the bitch ima fuck the bitch then check her off my bucket list Whats next? Another bitch! LOL, you never heard of me, i turn a feature verse to a murder scene These nigga wanna work wit me Tell them niggas i dont work for free End up in emergencies tryna go 1 on 1 wit me I don't think they really want it wit me Niggas bitchin, bringing guns in beef Get knocked out like ya daddy nigga Get dis free smoke... gladly nigga Back to back wit da killa flows Who killin shit, only killers know This a superkick for you dumb fucks Swinging haymakers like nunchucks Im the Heartbreak kid til they bury me The game sowed up like surgery If you in the crib have courtesy Or cut the check wit US currency You give em da game they take ya style Give em a inch they take a mile Give em a flow, they drop an album Sounding like you, i wouldn't doubt em Niggas is lame, niggas is weird Niggas bitchin, niggas is scared I'm so in the zone, I do not care I am so comfortable anywhere

My plan is to be the father that my father wasn't Still a great man but i plan on being somebody's husband I see pieces of me when i see my son's eyes Tryna do as much as i can before the sun dies I try to start my days before the sun rises I can't leave this world from senseless gun violence I was put on this earth for a bigger purpose So i gotta do my thing or die worthless I wanna be forgiven by all the women I've hurted I wish i was better wit women then I was with cursive That last line was written for the rhyme sake How long ima survive wit dis philly mind state Mothers losing they sons cus niggas playing wit guns Cant stay out them streets cus niggas low on they funds Ima pray for the young, all they need is some guidance Old heads in they ear to tell em to stop wildin Back to the 90s, where its gutta and grimy (x4) In a tribe like quest but they call it uptop If u aint from around, dont come thru my block Hunnit grand man bet it all on a watch You dealing wit the beat cops, I'm dodging FOX Let the media tell it, it was all my fault But I aint did shit except risk it all And I only did that to just save yall lives And this is how you repay me... ungrateful child If i said it i said it, i dont never regret it These kids is gettin reckless and times is gettin hectic Remember on that song, HOV said finish ya breakfast You gotta make an example just to send a message This how ima kick it, the spirit is my religion Pistols on my waist, uncomfortable sittings The world is a nightmare tryna poison ya dreams Shit sowed together its never the way it's seems
