And to begin a song
It's just my thing
This fight, hey
And to begin a song (What?)
Man, on the gang
Racks to the top, I'm gonna go
Not gonna stop, I'm gonna blow
Get it before I do anything (Uh-huh)
Nigga in the door, I came to win
What are they doin', what are they sayin'?
Who are they foolin', why are they playin'?
And that's a space, bitch, nobody's feelin'
I'ma start the bass to pick it up
Never forgive, never fuck with, destress
Somethin' wrong? Here, come and get me (Yeah)
It takes time to pull out the chest
Hit you with something, leave a hole in your vеst
Yeah, now, every day, I wanna shinе (Wanna shine)
I wanna take it back this time (This time)
I want to (I want to), 'cause I know what I am
But I gotta focus on the grind
Go ahead and don't look back, just climb (Just climb)
And I will (And I will), 'cause I know what I stand for
(What?)
(On the gang)
(Just climb and I will)
Uh (What?)
(On the gang)
Uh, uh
Look here, if don't know what you doin', stop playin' with it
You ain't fucked in the streets, stop sayin' that you hit it (Aight)
If I say I did it, it's shit I've done
The motherfucker got killed 'cause they was with that one (What?)
Fuckin' with a real nigga in his wrong mind (Get some)
Tell a nigga through the wrong time, I ain't say I'm too off the fire
They brought that and they saw my knuckle pad, I'ma fuck it
Yeah, now, every day, I wanna shine (Wanna shine)
I wanna take it back this time (This time)
I want to (I want to), 'cause I know what I am
But I gotta focus on the grind
Go ahead and don't look back, just climb (Just climb)
And I will (And I will), 'cause I know what I stand for
Now, every day, I wanna shine (Wanna shine)
I wanna take it back this time (This time)
I want to (I want to), 'cause I know who I am
(What?)
(On the gang)
It's just my thing, oh
Now, every day, I wanna shine (Wanna shine)
I wanna take it back this time (This time)
I want to (I want to), 'cause I know what I am
But I gotta focus on the grind (On the grind)
Go ahead and don't look back, just climb (Just climb)
And I will (And I will), 'cause I know what I stand for
