[Intro]
Uh, uh, ah, ah, ah, ah, oo-ah
M-E-L-V-O-N-I
Hey, Melvoni, Melvoni

[Verse]
Let me tell y'all a story of a lil' n***a comin' out from Flatbush
Young n***a from the trenches tryna make it
I'ma show you how that look, Melvoni that good
I am from the jungle, I ain't never had shit
So n***a fuck being humble, when the money come in
Thirteen, I was posted on the block with the older heads
'Cause I ain't really socialize with the other kids
Wanted to be a gangster, a scammer
Went to Pennsylvania, and touched a hammer
Mama told me read a book, but I rather
Stand up and pose with guns on camera
Wasn't a bad kid, but I wasn't average
Picked up a notebook and it was automatic
I never fucked with school
'Cause I don't like n***as tellin' me what to do
I put the pencil to my temple, and it gave me fuel
I'm not gon' lie, it kinda helped me in some certain ways
But, I kinda started goin' through certain phases
I started goin' different places
I starting seein' different faces
And something was wrong, what's going on?
Let me make it clear
I never feared no man
But I never really liked problems
I call up Retro and he gon' solve 'em
I call up my dawg, pull up in all black like it's Gotham
Lately, shit been gettin' realer
I seen n***as I grew up with turn to killers
Duckin' from the jakes, 'cause them n***as tryna kill us
My worries sickenin' and I've been gettin' deeper
Man, this shit is so sad
Bitches I grew up with, tryna fuck me for a bag
It's a different ball game and we came a long way
From sellin' candy to sellin' weed in the hallway
What the hell is going on today?
But I can't lie, I cannot complain
'Cause I did some shit I'm not proud of, I'm afraid to say
I'm so sorry to this day
I was wrong
But now I'm on a roll
And I can never fall
They tryna stop my glow
Oh no, no, no, no, no
