Lyrics

It ain't nothin' I want more
 Ain't nothin' I want more
 I ain't c-, I told you when I first came here
 I said, "I ain't come here to waste my time"
 I came here
 They gave us a chance to get in like we asked for
 And that's, that's what we here to do (yeah, nigga, 26)
 The job still ain't done (straight up)
 But I, I said, "You, you know what I'm here for"
 Back on top, punchin' the clock, clutchin' sanity
 I got more cribs than Habitat for Humanity
 Shit profound, we propagating more profanity
 Paid off collections from recollections of calamity (oh shit, look, that nigga 'bout to shoot)
 The shit pop off, I learned to duck under the canopy (oh shit, run, nigga, run)
 'Til it cool off, they murked a nigga right in front of me
 Told him to come off his chain for tryna floss
 Died over a cross just like the start of Christianity
 When I was a boy, the teacher often reprimanded me (Jermaine)
 Thought it was toys, it was a Glock this nigga handed me
 I busted the trees, was barely strong enough to squeeze
 Bullets traveled through leaves, it probably killed somebody randomly
 Ran in the crib and played it off amongst the family
 Nightmare scenes, the police finally apprehended me
 Woke up screamin', seen a demon had his hand on me
 Still sport the scar on my arm from where he branded me
 Like a Que Dog, my niggas burnin' with the mute off
 Loud pack smoke through the cracks, I catch a contact
 Triggerin' a paranoid mindset, now I'm back
 Teeterin' between enlightened and insanity
 Now that I'm rich, I feel nobody understandin' me
 All I can do is cut the mic on, holler at you
 Can't let the fame scare me off from speaking candidly
 All them niggas is so Kane, they started singin' like Danity
 Now I'm left here, paid like I planned to be, damn
 A lot of times, those situations are, um, are handled way before the time comes
 In the summer, I think when you truly prepare yourself, and
 With training and conditioning, and things like that
 When you cheat yourself, you fail in those moments
 You know, you crash, and when you really put the time in and
 Whether people see it, or whether people know it or not
 You know, it always come to light
