I’m old enough to know better, young enough to not give a fuck
Rather hold my head high and die than live and duck
Remember I was down to die just to live it up
But life’s a bitch and that judge is quick to give her up
They say that life is short, several looking through the bars
Gotta keep your head up, I be looking to the stars
I been through a lot, wasn’t looking for no cause
Didn't kill me though, now I’m here looking at the scars
Sometimes you get caught by people looking from a far
That’s how it is when you out here taking cookies from a jar
That’s what my son said, they came and took him and his draws
He support the family, they took the mama favorite bra
The feds, snatched my favorite boy
These the rainy days they say you should be saving for
But when sun shines no one carries umbrellas
And if they did, we would look at them as dumbfellas
I’m trying to become something, they probably become jealous
Have a lot to say about it, but afraid to come tell us
I’m here to beat the odds that were set against me
Wished the worst luck to anyone who bet against me
I wanna be somebody, somebody that’s never been
No squares in my circle, best shape I ever been
I’m growing up, my daddy planted a seed
My mama watered me with a plan to succeed
I was that kid in the ghetto, hand full of seeds
But I’m here now and I don’t plan to recede
Sometimes I think I lucked up at right time
Imagine I would’ve fucked up that night slime
It hurts to even think about it
Would be in the streets, thirsty, trying to get a drink up out it
Black hoodie, I pull that quatro cinco out it
While they put that iron to your clothes
Like I’m taking wrinkles out it
Take every Franklin, Grant, Jackson and Lincoln out it
Look you in the eyes and tell you don’t you even think about it
So as you hear me dropping this rhyme
Know my opportunity could of been stopped at a dime
The life you chose come from lack of options sometime
Gotta do what you gotta do, even opting a crime
And who am I? Without a name, dropping it I'm
Someone who saw the top and didn't stop, he just climbed
Someone who get money without dropping a dime
Transform to your leader in my optimus prime
So, for dinner you’re stopping at Prime
Round of chill Patron, top of the lime
Hold ‘em up, look at your niggas and say
There was no way out, but we figured a way
And now we chill, loaded up a steel
We just wish a nigga would but I know a nigga will
But for real, good is how you feel
But as soon as a nigga good is as soon as a nigga will
And we don’t owe these niggas nothing
Put that in a nigga will, yeah
