They turned our lights off and they stayed off We all stressed out, my granny laid off Some of my partners got years, can't take a day off I stayed on my grind and it paid off They turned our lights off and they stayed off We all stressed out, my granny laid off Some of my partners got years, can't take a day off I stayed on my grind and it paid off Taking advantage of their time on earth Where they ask questions last and blast first Ain't never prayed or went to church Hecka confusing to the old heads, scratchin' their heads Like "who the fuck raised these motha fuckin' kids?" "Where their daddys and their uncles at?" Aunties too active, her booty fat Hella youngstas from the trap already hit that 'Cause she on dope, she'll suck you up for a hubba sack The streets are his family, he had to raise himself After his granny passed, there was no one else It's barbaric out here, you gotta watch your eyes Where I reside, you gotta have six eyes Two on the sides, two on the front and back In case they sneak attack, keep a gat so you can bust back I don't like too many people, people evil I'm tryin' to go legit, I'm tired of livin' illegal They turned our lights off and they stayed off We all stressed out, my granny laid off Some of my partners got years, can't take a day off I stayed on my grind and it paid off They turned our lights off and they stayed off We all stressed out, my granny laid off Some of my partners got years, can't take a day off I stayed on my grind and it paid off From being stuck in quicksand, to making money in my sleep That's how we trying to eat, me and my fleet Bought a microphone and start producin' beats One day I'ma be at the Warriors game on the front seat Like E-40, "The Ambassador" Thousand dollar shoes on the hardwood floor Until then, I'ma grind 'til I can't no more Continue rappin', snappin' off like a Labrador Suckas hatin' I'm gettin' famous I don't want 'em jealous of me, that's hella dangerous I just want to drink and blow tree, I pack my stainless I can't let 'em spaghetti me, and leave me brainless Just got the sonogram back, I'm hella glad Good news, I'ma be a dad The doctor suggest that we go to Lamaze class Life is a test, so I'm hoping that I pass They turned our lights off and they stayed off We all stressed out, my granny laid off Some of my partners got years, can't take a day off I stayed on my grind and it paid off They turned our lights off and they stayed off We all stressed out, my granny laid off Some of my partners got years, can't take a day off I stayed on my grind and it paid off Built a loyal fan base and I'm livin' the dream Physical sales is down, so I'ma get paid from streamin' I'm a human just like you, every other day, I learn somethin' new It come with the package, look what I do Taught my own self how to tie my shoe Brothers be outta pocket when they be wishin' down on their brothers But they don't do that to the others Twenty-four-seven-three-sixty-five Gotta thank God that I'm alive Put hands on The Devil, I'll black his eye Tell him in his face he a liar (Biatch) They turned our lights off and they stayed off We all stressed out, my granny laid off Some of my partners got years, can't take a day off I stayed on my grind and it paid off They turned our lights off and they stayed off We all stressed out, my granny laid off Some of my partners got years, can't take a day off I stayed on my grind and it paid off
