[00:02.93] You good, T-Minus?

[00:07.68] Niggas been countin' me out

[00:09.47] I’m countin' my bullets, I'm loadin’ my clips

[00:11.68] I'm writin' down names, I'm makin' a list

[00:13.44] I'm checkin' it twice and I'm gettin’ ’em hit

[00:15.68] The real ones been dyin', the fake ones is lit

[00:17.18] The game is off balance, I’m back on my shit

[00:19.43] The Bentley is dirty, my sneakers is dirty

[00:21.18] But that's how I like it, you all on my dick

[00:23.19] I'm all in my bag, this hard as it get

[00:25.18] I do not snort powder, I might take a sip

[00:27.20] I might hit the blunt, but I'm liable to trip

[00:28.95] I ain’t poppin' no pill, but you do as you wish

[00:30.93] I roll with some fiends, I love 'em to death

[00:32.68] I got a few mil' but not all of them rich

[00:34.69] What good is the bread if my niggas is broke?

[00:36.70] What good is first class if my niggas can't sit?

[00:38.68] That's my next mission, that's why I can't quit

[00:40.71] Just like LeBron, get my niggas more chips

[00:42.68] Just put the Rollie right back on my wrist

[00:43.93] This watch came from Drizzy, he gave me a gift

[00:46.44] Back when the rap game was prayin' I'd diss

[00:48.19] They act like two legends cannot coexist

[00:50.18] But I'd never beef with a nigga for nothin'

[00:53.19] If I smoke a rapper, it's gon' be legit

[00:54.19] It won't be for clout, it won't be for fame

[00:55.20] It won't be 'cause my shit ain't sellin' the same

[00:56.68] It won't be to sell you my latest lil' sneakers

[00:59.93] It won't be 'cause some nigga slid in my lane

[01:01.93] Everything grows, it's destined to change

[01:03.93] I love you lil' niggas, I'm glad that you came

[01:05.68] I hope that you scrape every dollar you can

[01:07.68] I hope you know money won't erase the pain

[01:09.68] To the OGs, I'm thankin' you now

[01:11.43] Was watchin' you when you was pavin' the ground

[01:13.43] I copied your cadence, I mirrored your style

[01:15.43] I studied the greats, I'm the greatest right now

[01:17.43] Fuck if you feel me, you ain't got a choice

[01:19.44] Now I ain't do no promo, still made all that noise

[01:21.43] This year gon' be different, I set my intentions

[01:22.95] I promise to slap all that hate out your voice

[01:25.68] Niggas been countin' me out

[01:26.93] I'm countin' my bullets, I'm loadin' my clips

[01:28.94] I'm writin' down names, I'm makin' a list

[01:30.96] I'm checkin' it twice and I'm gettin' 'em hit

[01:32.93] The real ones been dyin', the fake ones is lit

[01:34.68] The game is off balance, I'm back on my shit

[01:36.68] The Bentley is dirty, my sneakers is dirty

[01:38.18] But that's how I like it, you all on my dick

[01:40.93] I just poured somethin' in my cup

[01:46.18] I've been wantin' somethin' I can feel

[01:50.43] Promise I am never lettin' up

[01:54.18] Money in your palm don't make you real

[01:58.18] Foot is on they neck, I got 'em stuck

[02:02.21] I'ma give 'em somethin' they can feel

[02:05.93] If it ain't 'bout the squad, don't give a fuck

[02:09.73] Pistol in your hand don't make you real

[02:11.46] I'm dead in the middle of two generations

[02:13.68] I'm little bro and big bro all at once

[02:15.43] Just left the lab with young 21 Savage

[02:17.43] I'm 'bout to go and meet Jigga for lunch

[02:19.44] Had a long talk with the young nigga Kodak

[02:21.43] Reminded me of young niggas from 'Ville

[02:23.18] Straight out the projects, no fakin', just honest

[02:25.43] I wish that he had more guidance, for real

[02:26.93] Too many niggas in cycle of jail

[02:28.93] Spending they birthdays inside of a cell

[02:30.68] We coming from a long bloodline of trauma

[02:32.68] We raised by our mamas, Lord we gotta heal

[02:34.74] We hurting our sisters, the babies as well

[02:36.68] We killing our brothers, they poisoned the well

[02:38.43] Distorted self image, we set up to fail

[02:40.18] I'ma make sure that the real gon' prevail, nigga

[02:44.69] I just poured somethin' in my cup

[02:48.43] I've been wantin' somethin' I can feel

[02:52.43] Promise I am never lettin' up

[02:56.18] Money in your palm don't make you real

[03:00.18] Foot is on they neck, I got 'em stuck

[03:04.18] I'ma give 'em somethin' they can feel

[03:07.93] If it ain't 'bout the squad, don't give a fuck

[03:11.68] Pistol in your hand don't make you real

[03:16.93] Money in your palm don't make you real

[03:19.68] Pistol in your hand don't make you real

[03:26.93] Money in your palm don't make you real
