[01:08.72] After The Fall Off, I promise I'm comin' to sellin' out Wrigley's

[01:11.21] Nigga, I'm just a product of poverty, full of narcotics to profit off quickly

[01:16.23] My family tree got a history of users that struggle with demons

[01:18.71] Not really the hustler instincts

[01:20.22] Therefore, often, my pockets was empty

[01:21.72] So while some of my partners was servin' up rocks on the corners, the project assemblies

[01:25.27] Me, I was startin' to envy, wanna be on the top where it's plenty

[01:28.48] Wanna be in the spot like where every bitch want me like Rihanna droppin' new Fenty

[01:31.97] What I see in the sky, the 'Ville is the ceilin', can't reach up too high, evidently

[01:36.74] Nah, shit, I can't reach up too high, evidently

[01:38.22] Never seen no one drivin' a Bentley

[01:40.72] I can't be out here moppin' up Wendys

[01:43.72] My life is all I have

[01:46.99] My rhymes, my pen, my pad

[01:49.21] And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me

[01:52.21] What you sayin' now won't budge me

[01:59.72] 'Cause where I come from (Come from), so often (So often)

[02:00.46] People you grow up with layin' in a coffin

[02:02.96] But I done made it through the pain and strife

[02:06.47] It's my time now, my world, my life, my life

[02:12.22] Say what? The stuff that I've seen got me traumatized

[02:14.23] I let the K go when Johnny died

[02:15.22] Swangin' that muhfucka' side to side

[02:16.49] We don't participate, ain't with that squashin' shit, all we believe in is homicide

[02:19.46] I got a good heart, so I send teddy bears every time we make they mommas cry

[02:22.98] I pray that my past ain't ahead of me (21)

[02:44.46] Give all the props to my momma 'cause no matter what, she always protected me (On God)

[02:46.98] I promise you, it ain't no checkin' me (On God)

[02:48.97] Jump in the water, get wet with me (Straight up, 21, 21)
