[Verse 1]
I come up in New Orleans aka ground zero
No Limit and Cash Money man these was our heroes
I don’t know why God chose me but he using me
First youngin’ on the block with a college degree
I could’ve sold that weed tho
I could’ve slang that iron
I’m out that nine and you know
One thing we don’t mind dying
But I would be lying if I said that I ain’t know better
My hood ain't make me
God made me to make my hood better
But it ain’t easy ‘round here
If it’s a cold world then dog its freezing 'round here, aye
I’m trying to reach ‘em ‘round here
And where I’m from success the best teacher ‘round here

[Chorus]
(my people need me)
I’m important to my dawgs
What I look like falling off
(me people need me)
I’m providing for my fam
Man, I hope you understand
Patna, we can get it popping from the beat to the street
And if my people got a problem then I’m coming to see
(my people need me)
I ain’t living with regret
Life too short and i’m too blessed

[Verse 2]
This stressful life will kill ya
My spoon wasn’t silver
My struggle so familiar
This here for la familia
Just take the hand life deal ya
And up the ante on em
I told my grandma watch me
I’m a win a Grammy on ‘em
And I’m still driving my Honda 280 on the odometer
Hot boy check the thermometer
Check me Presi Obama
No street fighter I‘m a rhymer
Both pockets fat like E Honda ugh
Mention my name faces light up like Blanka
But it ain’t easy ‘round here
If it’s a cold world then dog it’s freezing 'round here, aye
I’m trying to reach ‘em round here
And where I’m from success the best teacher 'round here

[Chorus]
(my people need me)
I’m important to my dawgs
What I look like falling off
(my people need me)
I’m providing for my fam
Man, I hope you understand
Patna, we can get it popping from the beat to the street
And if my people got a problem then I’m coming to see
(My people need me)
I ain't living with regrets
Life to short and I’m too blessed

I’m important to my dogs I ain't falling off
I’m providing for my fam hope you understand
I’m a always hold it down can’t mess with you clowns
I ain't living with regrets homie I’m too blessed
(x2)

I got the camouflage on right now
Slingshot David stay focused
It’s a war outchea man
