[Intro]
(Yeah... Turn me up, Cutta)
(Haaan)
Ayy, Tay Keith, fuck these n***as up
Yeah... (Cali back in this bitch)
Let me talk my pain... let me talk my pain...

[Pre-Chorus]
Swear to God I seen too much, it fucked my brain up (Skrrt!)
Used to stash them clips inside the mattress at my aunt’s (Boom boom)
Had to watch my cousin die, now I can’t change up (Damn!)
Bitch, I’m from the trenches, we don’t do no fake love (No cap!)

[Chorus]
And if I die today, just play this on my casket (Real shit)
‘Cause I done risked it all just to make a fuckin’ classic (Classic)
Got pain inside my soul, you can’t patch it with no bandage (Nah)
I came up from nothin’—made it out, now I’m the baddest (Let’s go!)

[Verse]
Ayy, slidin’ wit’ a chopstick, whole drum clappin' (Clap clap)
Caught that boy lackin’, had him dancin’ like he Jackson (Ha!)
Bro said stay out the mix, now I’m in it, no cappin’ (Facts)
Grew up in the slums, where your opps get to yappin’ (Boom boom!)
Had no father figure, I looked up to my plug (My dawg)
He showed me how to wrap the bricks and move ‘em out with love
Mama on the phone cryin’, told her I’ll be straight (I’m good)
But truth be told, I was posted with that .38 (Bang!)
My shorty bad, she hold my stick just like a trophy (Yeah)
Told her if I die, turn my hood into a story (Facts)
Used to sleep with roaches, now it’s chandeliers above me
Whole hood love me, now my shooter never lonely (Grrrrah!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Swear to God I seen too much, it fucked my brain up (Fucked up)
Used to stash them clips inside the mattress at my aunt’s (Boom boom)
Had to watch my cousin die, now I can’t change up (Change what?)
Bitch, I’m from the trenches, we don’t do no fake love (Real love)

[Chorus]
And if I die today, just play this on my casket (Play it loud)
‘Cause I done risked it all just to make a fuckin’ classic (On God)
Got pain inside my soul, you can’t patch it with no bandage (Nah)
I came up from nothin’—made it out, now I’m the baddest (Made it!)

[Outro]
(Huh... long live the real, fuck the fake)
(Cali Javo, bitch... 2021, The Streets)
This that pain, this that struggle, this that hunger
(And if I don’t make it tomorrow...)
Y’all gon’ remember my name
The Streets... the streets raised me...
