Yea
I made you bear witness to all my near misses
When nothing changed around me, I was the clear difference
Put my blood, put my sweat, put my tears in it
I'm about to share my dreams with you, don't you dare kill it
I played the hottest parties
Bagged the hottest shorties
You niggas popular, that ain't what's popping for me
I never tried to fit
Different and I'm proud of it
Looking for my counterpart, but all these hoes is counterfeit
They don't want issues
They don't want issues
They want something to talk about in hopes it offends you
The ones I used to idolize never made it but I still spin through
The whole time talking game to me, I still listen though I been knew
Lately I've been telling myself if I'm going to do something do it on my terms
If you try to take that from me then one of us will have to die first
I looked inside of that cage, looked inside of that grave
Everything felt dead inside it looked alive when I prayed
My mind clouded with doubt I couldn't be proud of my plays
A heart to heart with Kash always pushed me outta that space
You don't see this side of business morals just for solid niggas
Tell me who gonna hold you down and don't point into a crowd of bitches
Money phone like benji got you oh you think you slick now
Show me you're your brothers keeper, tell me if your kids around
I always believed that the measure of a man is not in what he's attained
But it's by the quality of the people around him
An island is no more beautiful than the beach that surrounds it
Brim down
Look around and it's big smiles
Love the path that I lived out, although its harder when your skin's brown
Its no brighter when you're self made and your papers up
Rich or broke, its no saving us
The constant hate from you niggas rubbed me the wrong way now I'm chaffing up
So when I bend the streets I need a Benz at least
I need 10 a piece for my niggas
I'm talking M's so get wit us
If she's too mixy she's a dipper
She belongs to you so go figure
I can't say I'm surprised, a hoe with a hoe nigga
No warning
