Ahead of My Time (Intro)

[Intro]
You know, a nigga never really took the time to really, you know, tell niggas what was goin’ on with a nigga, you know I’m sayin’? I just took a little time to myself, you know I’m sayin’? And I ain’t really into all that sentimental shit, you know I’m sayin’? I rather just get it up on my own and get my bag right, you know I’m sayin’? But shit, you know, I learned a lot of life lessons with this shit, you know I’m sayin’? When you down, you down, and when you up, you up, you know I’m sayin’? Niggas gon’ fall on you. Bitches gon’...bitches gon’ change, you know I’m sayin’? It’s when you find out who your real niggas is, you know I’m sayin’? I appreciate everybody who stayed solid with a nigga. I’m back now. Come on, yeah

[Verse]
Thinkin’ rob[?] was a set, shit, I’m proud of myself
Still got a ways to go, I got mom’s I gotta help
Got my sister lookin’ at me, gotta make up for my daddy
They took my whole life, how the fuck I’m gon’ be happy?
I’m really tryin’, ma, I’m really grindin’ now
Yeah, can see up in your face, I see you tired now
If I say that shit ain’t hurt me, I be lyin’ now
Yeah, it’s been some years, I know we sick of cryin’ now
Tryna get my fight back, tryna get my life back
Blowin’ all this money, ‘cause I know I’ll make it right back
Shit so real in my head, I swear, I couldn’t write that
Walk around like, “Fuck niggas,” yeah, bitches like that
Tryna get my cake right, swear this shit, it ain’t right
I’m goin’ so hard, my mama still workin’ late nights
Tell it how it is, nah, nigga, I ain’t the fake type
You don’t get no love, lil nigga, unless your bank tight
“You could’ve chose a different life,” but I ain’t want that shit
I rather get it out the mud, that’s why I wrote that shit
Lame niggas out here hatin’, that’s why I tote that stick
Lil nigga, I’m a boss, you can’t take my bitch, nigga
Ayy, I really do it, I ain’t lyin’ ‘bout it
A nigga speakin’ on my daddy, then we dyin’ ‘bout it
I was down on my knuckles, really cryin’ ‘bout it
Now, I walk around grinnin’, with my pockets knotted
I was lookin’ in the mirror, thinkin’: this ain’t me
Really starin’ at my face, thinkin’: this can’t be
Yeah, I couldn’t believe it, I never been so weak
Yeah, people talkin’ to me, I ain’t even wanna speak, nigga
Baggin’ up zips, thinkin’: DJ, what you doin’?
Tryna come across some money, I was really ‘bout to lose it
Niggas doubted me, I really had to prove it
I’m in the same spot, everybody kept on movin’
Niggas askin’ where I’ve been, I had to get myself together
Had to get it on my own, had to make my life better
Y'all wasn’t ‘bout to help me, y'all ain’t do shit but left me
Runnin’ up y'all cheese and left my pockets lookin’ empty
So, I got up off my ass, found a hustle, made it strong
Had a talk with my uncle, I swear, that nigga never wrong
Now, I took all my pain and went and put it in a song
And now, y'all can’t fuck with me, and I put that on my soul, nigga
Put the mic down and went and got my bread up
Tear droppin’ to the floor, they tell me keep my head up
If my brother down bad, then I’m gon’ pick my mans up
Pray to God for some help, on my knees with my hands up
Swear, I’m ‘bout to get it, I deserve this shit
I really had to grind for it, I had to earn this shit
Niggas turned they back on me, I just learned from this, yeah
I swear to God, I had to work for this shit, nigga

[Outro]
Yeah. Stay up, young nigga, you know I’m sayin’? We all done been through some shit, you know I’m sayin’? Just keep your head up
