[00:00.512] Reach for my dog 'fore his shit get dicey
[00:02.885] Shinin’ now, you never seen a clique get icy

[00:22.966]
[00:23.118] Uh
[00:24.143] Climbed up out the trenches as a shorty with intentions
[00:27.034] To switch my whip as much as Rick and Morty switch dimensions
[00:30.088] Never really known for dressin' gaudy, b***h, ’cause listen
[00:33.212] Where I'm from, the bullets feed the ones that's starvin' for attention
[00:36.148] She say, "He hella smart, I would've sworе he went to Princeton"
[00:39.143] Not quitе, but it's the school of life that taught me death prevention
[00:42.287] That's why I barely panic when the hammers, they be blammin'
[00:45.233] No mechanics, but they snuck inside the party with the wrenches
[00:48.303] I think fast ’cause niggas that be tardy get detention
[00:51.351] Your soul lookin’ down over your body in suspension
[00:54.382] The critics, they be on me, but they all be disingenuous
[00:57.149] B***h, I came up 'round addiction, seen like forty interventions
[01:00.551] Your shit ain’t addin' up, know you a phoney, checked your image
[01:03.645] Rappin' tough, but all them niggas in your audience is b*****s
[01:06.616] And white boys mostly, niggas know a verse from Cole be like a signed Michael Jordan rookie card in mint condition
[01:12.493] The farthest thing from harbor shit, be honest with me, listen
[01:15.662] You know if I want it, I be John Gotti with the henchmen
[01:18.698] Right? I mean, it's simple math, a bit of cash can get a nigga bag
[01:22.107] But that don’t make you big and bad, just mean you rich and mad
[01:25.055] Nigga, your pillow soft, so kill the boss talk
[01:27.988] Me to you's a cyanide pill to a lil' cough drop
[01:30.946] This the Ville, filled of hard knocks, they sellin' hard rock
[01:34.029] More plugs than these niggas use to fill a bald spot
[01:37.135] And kill 'em all and fill a morgue up
[01:39.987] I got bars forever, nigga, never will a call drop
[01:43.051] No hammer like a mall cop
[01:44.830] Still the hardest nigga on the planet earth from January first until the ball drop
[01:48.715]
[01:48.853] Yeah, he climbed out the great Ville, that's gangster
[01:52.490] He missed meals to make mills, that's gangster
[01:55.666] Then came back and gave back, that's gangster
[01:58.480] Same chick from way back, he's gangster
[02:01.320]
[02:01.454] Reach for my dog 'fore his shit get dicey
[02:04.312] Shinin' now, you never seen a clique get icy
[02:07.262] Watchin' my step, tryna look just like me

[02:28.299] Just like the Vegas strip, blowin' through chips, I'm rich, b***h, I'm rich
[02:31.439] David Chapelle on his latest Netflix
[02:33.116] Go 'head, try to cancel my shit
[02:34.304] I'll still be on stage with my hand on my d**k
[02:35.846] Seventeen thousand all jammin' my hits
[02:37.415] These are ridiculous times
[02:38.643] Lately, my biggest addiction been lookin' online
[02:40.967] Where somebody's always offended, I'm sick of this cryin'
[02:43.182] Niggas is dyin', victims of time
[02:44.480] Self-inflicted, we sick in the mind
[02:46.062] What's with the gossip? If you really handled your business, then you wouldn't have so much interest in mines
[02:49.966] Breakin' news, I've officially entered my prime
[02:52.452] Which is real interesting, this is the point where a rapper would typically start to decline
[02:55.625] Somehow I climbed
[02:56.567] Right when you thought I was fine, we're runnin' a little behind
[02:58.526] Nipsey was tryin' to tell you this a marathon
[03:00.688] Only listen to Minister Farrakhan
[03:02.136] Oh my God, it just hit me, it's terrifyin'
[03:03.646] I'm a star like the shit on the sheriff sign
[03:05.194] If time was really money, I could purchase like two thousand bricks with my spare time
[03:09.089] All praises due to my God
[03:10.412] Dark days is too far behind
[03:11.808] I part ways with the struggle, my hustle gon' always keep the squad paid
[03:14.860] All labor, no off days 'cause the money don't sleep
[03:17.503] And due to the focus, I couldn't even go broke if I spend like five hundred a week
[03:20.146] And talk is cheap, I got a short receipt, can tell by your heart, you're weak
[03:23.203] One thing 'bout this money, it's easy to get it, but trust me, my nigga, it's hard to keep
[03:26.117]
[03:26.252] Yeah, he climbed out the great Ville, that's gangster
[03:29.631] He missed meals to make mills, that's gangster
[03:32.564] Then came back and gave back, that's gangster
[03:35.717] Same chick from way back, he's gangster
[03:38.413]
[03:38.559] Reach for my dog 'fore his shit get dicey
[03:41.445] Shinin' now, you never seen a clique get icy
[03:44.452] Watchin' my step, tryna look just like me
[03:47.535] Nigga, you can try, but this shit get pricey
[03:50.532] Nigga, you can try, but this shit get pricey
[03:53.555] Nigga, you can try, but this shit get pricey
[03:56.649] Nigga, you can try, but this shit get pricey
[03:59.627] Nigga, you can try
[04:01.529]
[04:01.904] The trials and tribulations of creation
[04:04.458] It's a quiet theme of those in dire need of elevation
[04:07.829] One minute, infatuation
[04:09.844] Next minute, hatin' every statement you makin'
[04:12.562] Constant contemplation
[04:13.905] Yearnin' for hooks uncanny, search every nook and cranny for inspiration
[04:18.344] Step outside for better ventilation
[04:20.586] Smoke somethin', hope somethin' comes from the stimulation
[04:23.897] Through it all, stay patient
[04:26.339] Get in tune with God
[04:27.716] For when lightnin' strikes, it's He who decides
[04:30.562] We from a crueler side where the youth get euthanized
[04:34.153] Small fries get suicide for movin' pies
[04:36.710] All while blind eyes get turned from suit and ties
[04:39.384] The truth, it lies somewhere in the middle
[04:41.545] Of half-ass rappers and cap-ass crackers on Capital Hill
[04:44.620] Ain't no protection for hearts that get spilled
[04:46.856] When sharin' with this world with art can get killed
[04:49.238] Use your discretion
[04:50.466] To believe or not to believe? That is the question
