I remember when I was much younger than now
I used to sit and listen to the news, I was the only child
Another day and another night
Wishin' daddy would come home
Me and mom couldn't sleep at night
Roaches, rats everywhere what you know about it?
Shit got normal to a nigga had to go around it
Wanna get some money, tell me how I go about it? (How I got about it)
Everything you ever loved you gotta go without it
Nigga strugglin' I know about it
Ma could only cover rent with her check
Ain't get no allowance (ain't get nothing)
Niko showed me how to hustle, ain't know where the pound is
"You get all that for that?" I was so astounded
My mama told me not to talk to strangers
But ma ain't know every time she watch me
Leave the house her baby life in danger
Most of them niggas you grew up with be actin' strangest
It be the strangers who genuine as life changes
I'm full of anger, but I don't wanna be angry
I live in Bel-Air now, I'm off the e-way in Topanga
My high anxiety I gotta ride with the banger (I got to)
Fly as his salary, three-hundred thou' on some hangers
Ridin' like a wrangler, dyin' like a gangster
I don't trust no nigga how I'm ridin' with a stranger
Street nigga, I ain't been outside in a minute
But I stand on what it is, so I'm dyin' how I'm livin'
Grindin', ain't put nothin' to the side in a minute
Three, four mil', I'ma be up five in a minute
Do I wanna sign? I'll decide in a minute
They get fifteen we get eighty-five independent
I been slidin' for a minute
Thankful I ain't seen a homicide in a minute
Put my niggas on I been tryin' for a minute
Diamonds on the face ain't checked the time in a minute (ayy)
Valentine, can I get your time just a minute?
Hit the line, "I'ma be outside in a minute"
Take my time when I'm in it, she replyin' in a minute (uh)
If I start somethin' I take my time gotta finish it
Way before the rappers on the Nine on some killer shit (yeah)
Bite me all the time I don't mind I invented shit
Coulda been rich but I ain't sign on some trippin' shit
Guess it was divine intuition, I'm still killin' shit
On some independent shit, now we all rich as shit
'Cause doin' a bid, told him chill, he ain't missin' shit
Still at the beginnin' we just really gettin' into shit
Anythin' possible they usin' us for instances
Niggas own businesses
Ridin' like a wrangler, dyin' like a gangster
I don't trust no nigga how I'm ridin' with a stranger
Street nigga, I ain't been outside in a minute
But I stand on what it is, so I'm dyin' how I'm livin'
Grindin', ain't put nothin' to the side in a minute
Three, four mil', I'ma be up five in a minute
Do I wanna sign? I'll decide in a minute
They get fifteen we get eighty-five independent
I been slidin' for a minute (ayy)
Thankful I ain't seen a homicide in a minute (thank you)
Put my niggas on I been tryin' for a minute
Diamonds on the face ain't checked the time in a minute
Valentine, can I get your time just a minute?
Hit the line, "I'ma be outside in a minute"
Take my time when I'm in it, she replyin' in a minute
If I start somethin' I take my time gotta finish it
My life really lit don't need no witnesses
I don't gotta Instagram shit, I'm really in this shit
Niggas havin' shit I'm serious, hope you experience it (yeah)
30K just for appearances, I got like six of them this week
Might buy a Richard if I tweak
I don't clout chase on the net, that shit ain't losin' me no sleep (uh-uh)
They ain't shittin' what I eat and you can't get rich off a tweet
I record shit so much, like eighty hours in a week
But the streets dry, might get a nigga rich just off a leak
Don't look in my eye, I hit a nigga bitch just off a peek
I knew all them hoes was on the same shit since Dominique
He won't shake my hand, he know I know his babymom a freak
Used to give my mom a G, now that ain't shit but Prada sneaks (ayy)
Ridin' like a wrangler, dyin' like a gangster (gangster)
I don't trust no nigga how I'm ridin' with a stranger (how I'm ridin' with a stranger)
Street nigga, I ain't been outside in a minute
But I stand on what it is, so I'm dyin' how I'm livin'
Grindin', ain't put nothin' to the side in a minute
Three, four mil', I'ma be up five in a minute
Do I wanna sign? I'll decide in a minute
They get fifteen we get eighty-five independent (uh)
