[Introduction: Che Noir]
Uh
That's that feel right here
Trust Gang shit

[Verse 1: Che Noir]
Yo
Fruits of my labor had to come from a tree
It was all sweat and tears but the blood was from Eve
Once I figured out the difference between a want and a need
I stacked my money up to save I only touch what I need
It's hard to run fro these streets when it run in your genes
That's why I told a young king ain't no love in these streets
I seen family members hustle to becoming a fiend
Or six feet or taking jail visits once every week
Yeah, hustle to eat never hustle for free
I put a pen to a pad, bitches' blood in my ink
And keep a gun in my reach, I got to clutch when I sleep
Don't make me introduce you n***as to the cousin of sleep
Everytime I pour my heart out it's a flood when I speak
And if you take a sip from it you'd be drunk from one drink
Enough water on my wrist to fill a tub and a sink
The company I keep, you'll never see a bum or a leech
I got love for the hood but I hate it here
And can't relate to n***as that want to stay in here
Back on [?] where we partied while auntie laid upstairs
N***as scrapping while we on the front porch braiding hair
I don't complain when they ain't make it fair
Don't let the mobster clothes they put out for you make you scared
Ain't get no help from a label so we take the stairs
And build an empire off of worth
N***as can't compare
Facts
[Chorus: Che Noir]
I come for the top
For my sisters on their grind but they come from the block
But we come from penny-pinching
We determined for great
Never took a handout, just hard work and I slaved
Told my life from a mic, every verse is a page
And I'ma be the realest from my birth to a grave
I just took my pain and I turned to a stage
And I'ma stay the realest from my birth to a grave right

[Outro]
It's like this
The solution is knowledge of self
(Mhmm)
And the reason that knowledge of self is the solution
Is because once you know yourself
Know who you are, know where you came from, know what you are capable of doing
You would do all things accordingly to who you are
You see the problem is that people, we don't know who we are
When we know who we are
And we understand what we did
Then we'll make those moves so we can have the economic power
So you can know yourself
