When Johnny passed? (Yeah)
Oh, nah, that - right there was different 'cause it was like
When bro passed, that - was— it was unexpected 'cause it was like
Like, that ain't no nigga you thought
That would die, you feel what I'm sayin'?
Always had a gun, that nigga was always
On point, like, the way he moved, like
So it was like, hearing Johnny die, like
What? Like, that - was untouchable
Tattoos cover my face
Scars on my whole body
On the cut bad, I'm missin' Johnny
I had - with him right beside me
Code of honor, man, it's understood
I gave everything to my hood
Call me -, boy, I wish you would
-, I'd do it
Hundred M's, I done ran through it
Iced the bros out like I'm 'posed to do it
You think I'm bluffin', -, call my jeweler
Twenty chains like I'm Rick the Ruler
Late night servin', it was just me and my
-, Hit your head and matter come out your medulla
Wrecked the hotbox on the move, my mama called a Uber
Scared to be myself around you, feel like I might lose you
Larry got killed with his mama, I broke into pieces
I'ma up this - and - soon as you get to reachin'
I was adolescent thuggin', didn't no OG teach me
Treated buddy like my blood and he was - leechin'
I just want the best for you, my -, I ain't preachin'
You got envy in your heart and that's why we ain't speakin'
Soon as I became successful, like, our bond weakened
Better thank God that I ain't smack your - and leave you leakin'
Tattoos cover my face
Scars on my whole body
On the cut bad, I'm missin' Johnny
I had - with him right beside me
Code of honor, man, it's understood
I gave everything to my hood
Call me -, boy, I wish you would
-, I'd do it
Worth some millions, I was still posted in the trenches
War time, we goin' for it like it's four for inches
Poured a four of Act' with Gilly 'fore he took his sentence
Old days, he was twice my age, not to mention (Yeah)
I told Kobe not to walk home, but he didn't listen
I heard every - go off when them - hit him
Before this rap - got turnt, I really been on missions
That's why anywhere on Earth, I blend in with the
Still remember that first - I -
Back and forth, now this - lit, I had to graduate to a stick
You ain't never pull up in four whips
Jump out, leave everybody on they
I got aim, I don't need no switch, on Cap, I'm empty this - quick
Can't believe that I got rich
Had to move my mama way out to the sticks 'cause - wicked
I couldn't end up like someone I once loved and be a statistic
Act like - 'cause they can't kick it
Or worse than that, they turn to witnesses
Beat the streets, sometimes I miss it
Dead friends tatted in my skin
I lost Greg, damn, I miss my twin
I lost Roc, all I did was spin
Swear to God, I'd do it again
In my feelings, got me - abusin'
Only thing that saved me was music
Got my - on me, I'm ridin', cruisin'
-, I'll use it
(Taurus)
I wish it was back when we was kids
Like, back in the day
Was the best times
Even though it might've been a lil'
Bit of arguin' or fightin' goin' on
But it wasn't nothin' like how it was
When that man started gettin' some money
