Never Leave

[Intro]
Gotta move like it already is
I can see it

[Verse 1]
Nothing you can say to me, I've seen it through my lens
Tried to fight the good fight, I lost family and friends
Snake me, try to break me, I did everything but bend
Shoot out on the black top, I done played above the rim
Yeah, I played above the rim
Since I was a young one I put everything in Him
Fist fight for the fruit, we out here thugging on the limb
Beat the odds a couple times, I'm coming back again
Uh, I can't lie, I've seen a lot
Spent the block on MLK before they made it pop
When they snatched the chain, I had to get it back on God
Ran and told my cousins we gone set the block on fire, uh
Thirteen with that strap on me, I cannot take my time
Daddy died when I was nine, so now I'm next in line
Mama cried a thousand times, her faith was hard to find
I felt she'd break her back with it, so I put it on mine
Made it out a lot would not
Thought some things, I thought a lot and scraped the pot until it popped
Birds of feather fly together, bucking shots to scatter flock
Cash talk, I'm worth a lot, you going broke, you count me out
Never

[Instrumental]

[Transition]
And for a long time, I didn't know I was supposed to make it out
I ain't known there was nothing wrong with where I was
I didn't know that I had anywhere to go

[Verse 2]
I turned chances into risks
Trying to light my wrist, forced it, then I missed
That's another brick, wanna ball, not like this
Wanna give it to my daughter, so we gotta be legit
Mama pulled a magic trick, survived on minimum wage
Now my baby girl's four and got her own IRA
I stayed focused on my come up, pray to see brighter days
They say dark is the absence of light, scope on the K

[Instrumental]
