Yeah, nigga (you are gone)
We done made that, man (it is hard for me to leave)
Shit for my sock, son (carry on)
This shit is real men ('cause I know that you are)
My motherfucking Alligator, jackets, and retro
Jeans is all on the floor (far away, far, far away)
The vault is open nigga, shit ain't changed nothing, no (far, far away today)
But is still real though, you know what I'm saying? (Baby, won't you (oh))
Roadsart what's up (yeah)
(You ain't got your head right), let me tell y'all a story, man
Listen man, from here
I'm tired of fish scale wars, stayin' in all-green
New Balance sneaker, white wranglers on the scene
We was youngsters, '80's babies, getting in shit
Stolen cars, fell from monkey bars, flippin' and shit
Little thieves fresh out the P's
Broke heads is sled, slidin' through, two-five in my sleeves
Eggs and cheese, young niggas, by any means
We was saved watching Malcolm and Martin
Hold them things police, freeze
Niggas is jettin'
No time for off-track betting, we was wetting niggas
Take these gunshots, sipping rum shots on the roof
Hibernating, blow with ease
Better needs, the father seeds, cutting school, dippin' but truancy Ds
Influenced me with trees
Blue and cream, sat back, all I know is how to dream
Check the theme, watch the playboys run with kings
We was going there (uhh, oh)
But like breaking up, another, each other (another)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Baby, can't you see?
That there's other, feeling happening with me
Wake me up, when you want
Now it's all about good living, raising my children
I done seen the flames, escaped from the hell storms
Credentials of a high chief, blowing on that potent brock leaf
My whole worth, got a chance to see a black man run the White House
She shows her bright teeth, oh, what a beautiful sight
But still some living strenuous, through the struggles are unbearable
To ease the pain and eagerly seek the preacher for parables
To stop the rain and hoping somewhere to bring some sunshine
I'm living proof that it's possible, any obstacle, you face it
Can be erased son, don't let it conquer you
Throughout my journey, had some snakes in my past
But I couldn't let 'em strike me and catch the devilish germ from them
But the lesson was valuable, yeah, I learned from them
If they ain't godly, they wicked, there's no concern for them
Now in a good space, more connections, with more cake
Before I let something come between a nigga, I burn some
Aiyo, burn some, kid (we was going there)
(But like breaking up, another) see if a man can flip himself inside out, pal
He fall out and die, if you see all this shit that's going on man (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's real (baby, can't you see)
(That there's other, feeling happening with me)
(Well, you lost when you walk)
