I swear to God man, I'm trying to stay positive
My life really needs to quiet down right now
You know what I'm saying, 'cause it's way too loud
What I'm saying is this better be rock bottom man
I'm tired of being in the trenches
I've made music, sold drugs
Followed up an old grudge
Listened to the old thugs
Been stabbed, never even got it sowed up
Family got old blood
Clean it up, so what?
You know what? I need to separate to blow up
I grew up breathing coal dust
To almost stopping 3 feet short from a gold rush
Dined with murderers and soldiers
I buckled under the weight of the world on my shoulders
I'm buckling down, a round in the Sig on my holster
Tested again and again cause I'm a soldier
Lessons in the cities of men have made me colder
Bloodied my blade but I'll sleep fine
Just a little dirt on my shoulder
Trying to stay hopeful, but most of all vocal
Opportunity didn't knock, I kicked the door open
I'm loving every moment
Just trying to make the most of it
I been through- so much of the bullshit
This I do it for all of my people
And I do it for all that I love
I was living a light amongst evil
But there was never a price on my soul
I won't be on this earth till I'm old
So I'm giving you everything, oh
And I'm giving you all that I know
All that I know, all that I know
I've been so in love
Been so down, gimme dap and then we hug
Went from cleaner than suds
Kicks and fresh cuts to not giving a f*ck
And sleeping in the truck
I lost my fam
I lost my man
I lost my little sister but you still see me standing, handling shit
Acting like a man not flying off the handle
I never would imagined in following my passion
That I'd become the answer to people crying out
A motherf*cking lion, taking nothing lying down
Dumping out the iron, making money, flying round
Unfortunately Yemeni. My family is my enemies
They want me in the ground
But my AR muzzle's pointed at you and not down
Going for my dreams but I got knocked down
Scarred up but I'm here
Through all the blood and all the tears
Doing something real, I'm a leader, no fear
No fear
This I do it for all of my people
And I do it for all that I love
I was living a light amongst evil
But there was never a price on my soul
I won't be on this earth till I'm old
So I'm giving you everything, oh
And I'm giving you all that I know
All that I know, all that I know
(I was the last person at your sister's funeral
When mine died, I didn't even get a phone call from you, man
Talking about she like family to you
All you motherf*ckers fake
This is it, man
If I'm done, if I go, I want yal to know, man
I want to leave it all on the table, man
Let's go!)
I'm coming from the colony
It's draining my blood like phlebotomy
They lied to me for years
That's why I have this anger inside of me
Trying to be a witness to the American dream
But all I seen was crack fiends
Greed, and folks bleeding
Hard to build a teamy when people are so weak
But every time I leave, I leave a big part of me
Pardon me, I lost my baby sister to the evil of the same motherf*ckers who would love to slaughter me
A better life is calling me, it's all on me to take it
I feel my heart racing, getting so impatient
What, with all the shit I'm facing
All below the surface like a basement
All the time I wasted
Success is so competitive, repetitive, but basic
If I'm bucking at my own, then I'd rather get the racist-in-chief
Pacing, paying my dues, cutting my teeth
Till my meet my old friend again, the cousin of sleep
This I do it for all of my people
And I do it for all that I love
I was living a light amongst evil
But there was never a price on my soul
I won't be on this earth till I'm old
So I'm giving you everything, oh
And I'm giving you all that I know
All that I know, all that I know
(F*ck family, man
Talking about they wanna see me dead
What kinda shit is that?
I thought we was blood, man?
That's why them other motherf*ckers is stronger than us, yal don't stick together
Until you understand that, you'll never understand nothing, man
Trying to play the victim, f*ck you!)
