I watched so many people switch over a couple years
Had to let it go, wipe my eyes I shed a couple tears
Had to kick some people out my ride, now I'm tryna steer
Hit the gas and watch em' fall behind, left em' in the rear
Never feared a man at all, the only thing I fear is God
Always keep me blessed with the essentials, shoutout Fear of God
I just bought another scent
New cologne, Saint Laurent
I ain't have to look at my account, know it's safe to buy it
Thankfully I finally made it
A long road, chasing green had me feeling jaded
While I was busy on my grind, other niggas skated
And now I'm finally coming up they act like we related
And I done finally found a lady I been over dating
I woulda bought a bird a ring, damn I'm glad I waited
Cause we been looking at a house, community is gated
And I don't care about amounts, cause ima gladly pay it
I do it for my baby
I started from the bottom, I done climbed so many tiers
I lost so many people telling lies to my ears
And I don't need a shrink, confide in my peers
Through the years I done climbed so many tiers
Tears running down my chopper face
Chained to the trap I feel like I'm running in place
Close friends making statements while I'm tryna make a way
Crashed out and backdoored me while I was tryna make your plate
Ima keep my two cents, I don't need no new friends
Every time I pop out these niggas find a new trend
Outside with the fake smiles telling Cannon he too trim
Let me shine
These niggas hating on me they owe it to them
2AM I'm in the crib holding onto my son
Praying there won't be a day that he resort to a gun
Praying but I'm still the same, I'm still hurt from lil bruh
Behind the enemy lines I wait for help but they ain't come
Times that I can't get back
Toxic ways I sip that
OG told me quickest way you go is if you live fast
First time I shot a gun ain't realize they'll hit back
Public housing shooting craps
I was down but I'm shooting past
Grim reaper following my shadow
God's soldier it ain't nothing I can't handle
All this death left my heart dismantled
Yeah I'm hurt but bills due so I can't panic
I'm back at it
Reminiscing, I'm contemplating
My nigga Chris like why you waiting?
Bound to be famous
I took his statements to the basement
And start creating
Back to the basics, I kept em' waiting
For way too long
In the booth with Sonny
Feds grabbed him two days later
Playing broke in front the hoes
These bitches paper trailing
Meditating in my foreign
The engine quiet to hear the haters
Griefs a motherf*cker I'm still mad I couldn't save him
You can't see the vision I'm rocking with BELIEVERSONLY.
KA$ told me lock in, I see him more than just a homie
Know he going up, I'm just a page inside his story
Started chained to the trap now look at me I'm soaring
I started from the bottom, I done climbed so many tiers
I lost so many people telling lies to my ears
And I don't need a shrink, confide in my peers
Through the years I done climbed so many tiers
