[01:06.19] You niggas just cubs but no, not the ones in the big leagues

[01:08.69] After The Fall Off, I promise I'm comin' to sellin' out Wrigley's

[01:11.19] Nigga, I'm just a product of poverty, full of narcotics to profit off quickly

[01:15.69] My family tree got a history of users that struggle with demons

[01:18.44] Not really the hustler instincts

[01:19.95] Therefore, often, my pockets was empty

[01:21.70] So while some of my partners was servin' up rocks on the corners, the project assemblies

[01:24.70] Me, I was startin' to envy, wanna be on the top where it's plenty

[01:28.44] Wanna be in the spot like where every bitch want me like Rihanna droppin' new Fenty

[01:31.70] What I see in the sky, the 'Ville is the ceilin', can't reach up too high, evidently

[01:35.46] Nah, shit, I can't reach up too high, evidently

[01:39.21] Never seen no one drivin' a Bentley

[01:40.69] I can't be out here moppin' up Wendys

[01:42.19] My life is all I have

[01:46.44] My rhymes, my pen, my pad

[01:49.44] And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me

[01:52.69] What you sayin' now won't budge me

[01:56.19] 'Cause where I come from (Come from), so often (So often)

[01:59.19] People you grow up with layin' in a coffin

[02:02.45] But I done made it through the pain and strife

[02:05.69] It's my time now, my world, my life, my life

[02:11.19] Say what? The stuff that I've seen got me traumatized

[02:12.70] I let the K go when Johnny died

[02:14.69] Swangin' that muhfucka' side to side

[02:16.45] We don't participate, ain't with that squashin' shit, all we believe in is homicide

[02:19.19] I got a good heart, so I send teddy bears every time we make they mommas cry

[02:22.94] I pray that my past ain't ahead of me (21)

[02:25.19] When I'm in love, I love heavily (On God)

[02:26.70] If you betray me, you dead to me (21)

[02:28.44] I disrespect you respectfully (Straight up)

[02:40.44] I blame my pops for that shit 'cause if he didn't fail, he could've corrected me (21)

[02:43.71] Give all the props to my momma 'cause no matter what, she always protected me (On God)

[02:46.94] I promise you, it ain't no checkin' me (On God)

[02:49.19] Jump in the water, get wet with me (Straight up, 21, 21)
