[Verse]
A lotta bad decisions
Couldn't tell you no regrets
Ma though I was trippin
Til I brought us home a check
Picking up the phone
When my pops would call collect
Type of shit that show you freedom
Worth way more than respect
I was gettin it on my own
Ain't too much that I expect
But you gone pay me
You don't stand on your word
That's a bet
I been makin' sure
I stand on the word that I set
A lotta n***as made me promises
They knew they couldn't have kept
Momma told me keep it modest
I be knowin' I'm the one
Had to be since when you told me
How you lost your first son
Glad to see the day I'm earnin'
Shе don't got to pay for none
Rap beef really petty
N***as barеly see the slums
Rap sheet weighing heavy
On my n***as that shit dumb
12 knowin' it's a reason
Why a n***a carry guns
They be looking for a reason
Just to do a n***a bad
But they ain't have to dodge bullets
Til they went put on that badge
They don't understand
N***as gettin' killed
Just for being a man
For a chain, some to slang
Or a couple bands
For the gang, for the name
Or they lost some fam
I had to reach out to my hood
And be their helping hand
N***as feelin' fucked up
Tired of startin' over plans
Couple n***as lucked up
And never looked back again
If I ain't get this come up
You still would see me stand ten
I'm more than grateful
For my blessings
Not all of 'em wins
Sometimes it's hard
To find my way back
I still relate to mine
But now how we did way back
I'm going up
Got people stuck
I'm trynna change that
My dawg hurt behind them bars
On the phone fake happy
I'm trynna make it far
My people trynna make it happen
My cousin hurt me
Hard injections got his brain trapped
The guilty pleasure make me hate rap
Cause it don't feel good
Ridin' by the homeless in this Maybach
And it don't feel good
Seeing n***as hopeless in the same trap
I spent a mil
Coulda paid everybody bills
With them same stacks
I pop a seal of mud shouldn't
But that's where I put my pain at
I do a lot and pray
One day it be enough
Shit I'm just stating facts
