Lyrics

Oh, you came there, God
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 Oh, Lord
 No matter how, no matter how long it take, yeah
 No matter how long it take, nigga
 
 Oh, God, yeah
 You better be
 Spiralin' up, just like a rich nigga staircase (spiral up)
 No fly zone, please stay the fuck out my airspace (out my face)
 Niggas say things behind backs that they wouldn't dare say (dare say)
 Know it's on sight when I see you, I'm workin' at Squarespace
 Yeah, top of the mornin', I know that you thought I was dormant
 Woke up early from shots that were swarmin'
 A block full of opps, now the cops in an orbit
 Guess somebody got popped, now thеy knockin' on doors
 Tryna find an informant but I ain't see nathin'
 I'm mindin' my business as God is my witness
 No weapon gon' prospеr that's formin' against me
 Nigga, I'm starvin', immensely
 Know when I'm done with these songs, you gon' miss me
 Ja Morant, I'm on my Grizzly
 You niggas just cubs but no, not the ones in the big leagues
 After The Fall Off, I promise I'm comin' to sellin' out Wrigley's
 Nigga, I'm just a product of poverty, full of narcotics to profit off quickly
 My family tree got a history of users that struggle with demons
 Not really the hustler instincts
 Therefore, often, my pockets was empty
 So while some of my partners
 Was servin' up rocks on the corners, the project assemblies
 Me, I was startin' to envy, wanna be on the top where it's plenty
 Wanna be in the spot like
 Where every bitch want me like Rihanna droppin' new Fenty
 What I see in the sky, the 'Ville is the ceilin'
 Can't reach up too high, evidently
 Nah, shit, I can't reach up too high, evidently
 Never seen no one drivin' a Bentley
 I can't be out here moppin' up Wendys
 My life is all I have
 My rhymes, my pen, my pad
 And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me
 What you sayin' now won't budge me
 'Cause where I come from (come from), so often (so often)
 People you grow up with layin' in a coffin
 But I done made it through the pain and strife
 It's my time now, my world, my life, my life
 Say what? The stuff that I've seen got me traumatized
 I let the K go when Johnny died
 Swangin' that mo'fucker side to side
 We don't participate, ain't with that squashin' shit
 All we believe in is homicide
 I got a good heart, so I send teddy bears
 Every time we make they mommas cry
 I pray that my past ain't ahead of me (21)
 When I'm in love, I love heavily (on God)
 If you betray me, you dead to me (21)
 I disrespect you respectfully (straight up)
 I got some partners who left this Earth
 Maybe the pain made a better me (on God)
 Just know that they secrets is kept with them (on God)
 I feel like the streets is in debt with me (straight up)
 I gave my heart away to all the dawg hoes
 'Cause that's who accepted me (21)
 I blame my pops for that shit
 'Cause if he didn't fail, he could've corrected me (21)
 Give all the props to my momma
 'Cause no matter what, she always protected me (on God)
 I promise you, it ain't no checkin' me (on God)
 Jump in the water, get wet with me (straight up, 21, 21)
 You want my money or wanna have sex with me?
 Can't let the opps or the law get the best of me
 I get to answerin', you get to textin' me
 I see chicken, you niggas is breast to me
 Planted a seed but it ain't a sesame
 Can't let you niggas or bitches grow next to me
 My life is all I have
 My rhymes, my pen, my pad
 And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me
 What you sayin' now won't budge me
 'Cause where I come from (come from), so often (so often)
 People you grow up with layin' in a coffin
 But I done made it through the pain and strife
 It's my time now, my world, my life, my life
