THA MARATHON Video (MV)

All of my siblings grew up in different homes
Solid as a rock and prefer to handle our shit alone
I ain't have nobody to show the boy how to skip a stone
Graduated from the easy bake to a kitchen stove
Quick to burn a bridge, cross me, ain't no turnin' back
No discrimination, red dots where your turban at
Niggaz walk around with seven 9's like the birth of rap
Sippin' Arizona tea, steady burnin' blacks
Grew up in the sunshine state, Californicatin'
Thinkin' when I get to Atlanta, suddenly I'll make it
I ain't leave shit but repossessions and probation
7 years later, I got it, all it took was patience
Now it's only stu' when I cook up,
I crossed the finish line, how much time that it took just
Ain't what's in my mind, word to Nipsey, I run this race at my own pace
From thug holidays to champa-ga-nay, with gold flakes like

Whoa, it ain't take that long
Ain't no I in team, had to get it on my own (uh)
Started at a slow creep, now I'm on a run (what)
And if it's hard to see, just know your time will come, you'll be looking back like
Whoa (whoa) it ain't take that long (uh)
Niggaz don't believe, f*ck 'em, do it on your own
Gotta give this shit yo all, can't settle for less than one (one)
I'll meet you there, my nigga, 'til then, let's get this done

Love come and go with the seasons, so be cautious
A lot of y'all take hate to heart, that right there's yo problem
Niggaz get a couple follows, get to talkin' like they bosses
They be quiet when you win, yet they celebrate yo losses, mmm
We ain't having that, it's hard enough as is in this habitat,
So keep yo head down, get your money, and grow this cabbage patch
Break the curse, so your grandkids shouldn't have to scrap
You can't ride to heaven behind the wheel of a Cadillac
So be mindful where you spend it, 'cause it's always somepne watchin'
Stay out other people business, don't let no one count yo pockets
If a nigga disrespect you, f*ck it, live to see tomorrow (uh)
Why make this shit harder when yo time already borrowed?
Mind your pride, barely know a nigga name but that's your rider,
That's yo slime? He'll be the first to hide when it's time to slide, moral of the story, gotta let it go
Might can't see the other side, but you'll be there before you know like

Whoa, it ain't take that long
Ain't no I in team, had to get it on my own (uh)
Started at a slow creep, now I'm on a run (what)
And if it's hard to see, just know your time will come, you'll be looking back like
Whoa (whoa) it ain't take that long (uh)
Niggaz don't believe, f*ck 'em, do it on your own
Gotta give this shit yo all, can't settle for less than one (one)
I'll meet you there, my nigga, 'til then, let's get this done
