You should be proud that i'm not in prison
All of my n***as done seen a sentence like they in the reading business
Be happy i'm not a menace
I come from shooting at opposition then starting a
Cleaning business
Yet oddly the ceiling missing
You probably drown in the streams i've been in
I'm here but the meanings different
Be happy that gods forgiving
You're witnessing what could happen to men when you
Tackling demons in him
Be proud that i'm not in prison

I was tryna decide if i wanted to carry packs or let my mama provide
Cuz the dudes who had the stacks said the secrecy was important
So i was wavering favor with flavors of different jordans
Ultimately concluded when cousins were doing shootings
To branch out of the movement to headquarter improvement
Stomach touching my back but i vowed to not have regrets
And i didn't know what was next but i did carry respect
No role models

Out on the porch they talking urban legends
And who the top hustlers were i never heard the second
Ain't say a word you know they say stay in a kids place
They was playing games down by the curb i stared at diamond necklace
By 10th grade me and won't say was selling dimes of haze
School did raids so i ain't stay was getting paid for grades
Auntie Tina took us to dinner for the merit roll
Went back to doing my after school practice then headed home
When Ronald died it hit a nerve that's when i made the turn
I started learning different terms that's on Deandre word
When he got killed i felt a chill, I had to go forreal
Moved to mound ain't have no rounds but yet my soul was still
Role model
If i'm to fail know i tried to prevail
I was tryna do well i got memories still of Tamar when he laid in that car with the wheel in his hand
That was way back before i was 12 understand
I seen Mikey before he was killed understand
I connect with the pain shit is real
I got plans of just going from starving to mils in my hands
Born in the grave like
Shits hell never really seen daylight
Just 12 cops shoot or they beat you
So my n***as sell work cuz they need to be true
Hit stores and tag rip, boost too cuz youth need a tablet and new shoes
See me i even did that
Lucky now i just rap coulda kidnapped
Lucky i don't sell crack when the kids nap
Lucky i don't put straps where ya wig at
I was born in the trap where the fib at?
Free now i need a rack where the rib at?
Whole time i rhymed it was deeper than the lines
It was deeper than the crimes
It was seeping in the mind
From myself i tried to hide
Really had to pick a side
I was battling my betterment
You see what i decided
You should be proud that im not in prison
All of my n***as done seen a sentence like they in the
Reading business
Be happy im not a menace
I come from shooting at opposition then starting a
Cleaning business
Yet oddly the ceiling missing
You probably drown in the streams ive been in
Im here but the meanings different
Be happy that gods forgiving
Youre witnessing what could happen to men when you
Tackling demons in him
Be proud that im not in prison
