[Chorus]
You can do everything right and they gon’ still judge
Got millions in my bank account, I used to deal drugs
This ain’t no Hollywood script, I hang wit' real thugs
No longer knee deep in them trenches, but I’m still plug
Ain't one of mines and you can die, bitch, catch a steel slug
Knives in my back turned me numb, so I don’t feel love
And I had too much love for you, for me to hold a grudge
I just feel bad 'cause shit'll never be the way it was

[Verse]
These bitches treat you like shit, you ain’t livin’ up to they standards
Told that lil’ bitch to beat it, can’t fuck wit' Dirty Diana
It’s evident that they hate us, they quick to kill us on camera
Lil Stank like to drive fast, free my n***a out that slammer
Feelin’ groovy off the X’, I dropped a four up in my Fanta, and now we rockin’ out
We was just sellin’ Hannah Montana, Draco wit’ a K clip
Ayy, pull up on the opps and go bananas
It’s a warzone, all you hear is shots up on that scanner
Always one up top, bitch, I be wit’ them pistol blammers
Them tools gon’ fix a problem, like Thor we grippin’ them hammers
Thought he was hard-body, we turned that boy to a dancer
Mama’s like, “Lord why?” and they still waiting for answers
I asked him the same thing, when I lost my grandma to cancer
No point in going to school, they feed us with propaganda
Christmas was disappointin’, we never believed in Santa
Come from nothin’, now we want those finer things and a blammer
[Chorus]
You can do everything right and they gon’ still judge
Got millions in my bank account, I used to deal drugs
This ain’t no Hollywood script, I hang wit' real thugs
No longer knee deep in them trenches, but I’m still plug
Ain't one of mines and you can die, bitch, catch a steel slug
Knives in my back turned me numb, so I don’t feel love
And I had too much love for you, for me to hold a grudge
I just feel bad 'cause shit'll never be the way it was

[Verse]
Always had my own agenda and that kept my mama trippin'
Them gut feelings always right, so I just trust my intuition
They said give up on your dreams, something told me not to listen
It's like I had to make it happen, that's what kept me optimistic
Bitch, I put in overtime for this brand new watch to glisten
I took over, made a name, and barely any props was given
Too rich for the rappin' beefs, so tell 'em boys to stop the dissin'
Bro, just sit back and observe, this shit ain't no competition
Can't just walk through Evergreen, n***a, you need our permission
At fifteen, they took my homie, so it's fuck the opposition
Every time I'm in the city, I go pay my block a visit
Still ten toes up in the hood, foenem said the opps was slippin’
A hothead on that corner, I think they knew not to risk it
Plus, I keep a Nina on me, bitch this Glock could get to spittin’
My son can’t hear that story, like that your pops was flippin’
They slid through for like a week, but it’s like all them shots was missin’
[Chorus]
You can do everything right and they gon’ still judge
Got millions in my bank account, I used to deal drugs
This ain’t no Hollywood script, I hang wit' real thugs
No longer knee deep in them trenches, but I’m still plug
Ain't one of mines and you can die, bitch, catch a steel slug
Knives in my back turned me numb, so I don’t feel love
And I had too much love for you, for me to hold a grudge
I just feel bad 'cause shit'll never be the way it was

[Outro]
I just feel like, if you make it out them trenches, you one of a kind
Don't too many people do this shit man
When I was comin' up, and I was on my way to the top, everybody doubted me, ain't nobody believed in me, but I believed in me
I stayed through that shit, I pushed through that shit, I made it through the storm, now we shinin'
For everybody out there, chase your dreams and stay on your grind, forever
You can do everything right and they gon’ still judge
Got millions in my bank account, I used to deal drugs
This ain’t no Hollywood script, I hang wit' real thugs
No longer knee deep in them trenches, but I’m still plug
Ain't one of mines and you can die, bitch, catch a steel slug
Knives in my back turned me numb, so I don’t feel love
And I had too much love for you, for me to hold a grudge
I just feel bad 'cause shit'll never be the way it was (Way it was)
(Way it was, way it was)
