Hometown Ode (Bonus Track)
Most of my homies been looking for other ways to eat
So this an ode to those who grew up round the same streets
For my niggas down Wade and Broadway
I know y'all still be hustling, hope you paving more ways
More lanes I've been trynna create
Through all pain, I remember them days we would play them ball games
I was barely even eight, couldn't reach the door Frames
Helped me grew up on the way, I could thank you's all day, but
I can feel this sore pain in my brain cuz
Might of left the west, but the love is all the same bruz
Your fam is like my fam
Kinda like the same blood
We've been everything
All the best, I hope you stay up
I'm never going back, guess my minds made up
You doing nine straight up, and yo that could of been me
Yo that could've been JJ, could of been D
While I spit these 16's, know this should've been we
Only difference In between, you stayed hugging the streets
Dawg I threw that shit away cos I decided to leave
If we traded made-decisions, you'd be right where I'de be
So it's unfortunate your skewed to chase the rights to your dreams
Its never rightful it seems
Privilege not in your genes
But we be on that same boat, this ship been rocking at sea
Keep it rocking for weeks
And I ain't stop till I'm deep
This shit gone be like Titanic when I rot and I sink
There ain't gon' be no other way that you'll be stopping the king
Stomping my feet, I stand proud
Hands down, Fuck these niggas dawg I stand out
Man Down, If you coming for my stand now
Stand down, all you rappers should've planned out
Stand ground when my dawgs help a man out
Nan's proud, sucks that she won't hear this blaring out
But that's life nigga
From the burbs to all my niggas doing life nigga
And I'll be right with ya when my time tick up
But for now, It be 6:09 get ups
Cook a sweat-up
Cos for future breakfast I'll be eating cheddar, yo that mozzarella
Anything is better than these chains they got set up
In my brain, yeah I'm fed-up
Everyday is a set-up
Am I crazy or mental
Or just stuck in my head
Cos some mornings I wake up and I just wanna be dead
Some days I see the dream and I just wanna be there
I wanna be scared/
Cos if I ain't, it's not what it is
Knock all my peers
Even ones I've rocked with for years
I'm just trynna reach the top my nigga
Business is biz
I'm just trynna leave some shit for my kids
Cos I ain't never had shit when I was fit with a bib
That shit can trickle for years
Over time, I done tripled my tears
I got straight back up when I tripped on my fears
But now I'm here, I be back on my feet
I'm wont ever turn my back on the streets
Although the streets has turned their back on my G's
And they be still going back for the P's, shit...
I feel they befriending me for my energy
My family is faking
Everyone is fake and
I've been keeping patient
Sitting here waiting
Working so hard feel my back's gonna break in
I've been running shit since the basement
I've been pulling whips since the slaves ships
I've been doing hits everyday shit
Building empires from the pavement
While most of y'all sit and waste it
Face-it, I've been going hard since I came here
May get, couple murder charge for the game shit
Gang shit
I'll be doing large any day shit
(Day shit)
I got you in heart
Everyday shit
(Day shit)
