[Intro]
EmI had to get out of Hollywood
EmGet back to the trenches, they said they need me
EmLittle fish
[Verse 1]
EmI used to cop my little reggie tryna feed myself
EmMy cousin had that work but I didn't need no help
EmMan I was so fucked up I couldn't believe myself
EmThat's why I be at the jeweler tryna freeze myself
Em'Cause my heart so cold, we ain't got no goals
EmAll these young niggas killin' like they ain't got no souls
EmTalkin' Grand Marquis, before I cop my Rolls
EmIt was all so sweet until Dashawn told
EmReally hurt my heart, ripped my feelings apart
EmOut in Philly it's dark, we was really so scarred
EmBut actin' silly so hard but we just wanted some love
EmMama workin', daddy dead, I just wanted a hug
EmWhy you think we spillin' spade when we go to the club
EmAll my homies think I smoke, we just rollin' it up
EmI'm stressed out, niggas got Jordans, feel left out
EmSo I went to chasin' them birdies, I went south, fuck it
[Chorus]
EmI went from goin' to school, to totin' them tools and makin' a move
EmSaid I would win, they said I would lose, shit
EmWe're so confused, hope I don't make the news, oh Lord
EmWe was breakin' the rules, trappin' to get some food
EmRisking freedom for shoes
EmKnowin' that I don't need em, I'm spending money on jewels
EmJeweler like, "He's a fool"
EmThey told us that this was cool
[Verse 2]
EmCaught my first case, it was me versus the state
EmI just wanted some steak and some food on my plate
EmCame up from shit I'm like "how can you hate"
EmI'm just tryna be great, I survived with the snakes
EmLook what they did to Lil Kodak and Gates'
EmI can't lose faith, I just want shine like the stars in my wraith
EmWe go to war in fatigues like it's bape
EmI don't feel safe, can't sleep without it
EmMaster with them P's yeah boy I'm bout it bout it
EmBrought me to my knees back when everybody doubted
EmCan't let my youngins see me fold, I'm too solid
EmIf I stand on it, I'ma stand on it
EmPut some bags on the scale, put some grams on it
EmThis the only shit I knew I seen my man done it
EmTryna be like niggas who were never there for us
EmWe ain't have no guidance
[Chorus]
EmI went from goin' to school, to totin' them tools, and makin' a move
EmSaid I would win, they said I would lose, shit
EmWe're so confused, hope I don't make the news, oh Lord
EmWe was breakin' the rules, trappin' to get some food
EmRisking freedom for shoes
EmKnowin' that I don't need em I'm be spending money on jewels
EmJeweler like, "He a fool"
EmThey told us that this was cool
[Verse 3]
EmCoppers scoopin' niggas out their radar.
EmNiggas puttin' niggas in the graveyard
EmJobs told us beat it like an A&R
EmSo we play with heart, fuck it we gon' play it raw
EmCut the lights, told my momma they ain't stayin' off
EmThey killed my daddy and it turned me to a man, dog
EmWe play with rugers, play with Glocks, we ain't playin ball
EmShit we tryna stay alive it's a standoff
EmMy life for your life
EmGo to war like we got like four lives
EmTalkin' before like, all this lil' rap shit
EmWhere I'm from if you turn eighteen, then that's More Life
EmFor real nigga
[Interlude]
EmWhen you have no voice
EmAin't nobody hear us, so we ain't have no choice
[Chorus].
EmI went from goin' to school, to totin' them tools, and makin' a move
EmSaid I would win, said I would lose, shit
EmWe're so confused, hope I don't make the news, oh Lord
EmWe was breakin' the rules, trappin' to get some food
EmRisking freedom for shoes
EmKnowin' that all I'ma be spending money on jewels
EmJeweler like, "He a fool"
EmThey told us that this was cool
