[Intro]
If you don't stand for something
Fall for anything
Promise I would give my all
That's on everything, my people perishing
The world needs a hero
Time to do or die, you'll never unders-

[Verse 1]
My mind is always racing
Amazing they still degrade us
I'm fallin' deep in despair
My position was never favored
Detached from being a replica
Truth is in my retina
No more wasting my talents
It's time to restore the balance
Of n***as living life backwards
Devil wants my soul said hell no
Such a cynical feeling
When every word gives you meaning
They want me dead but they need me
Grandma told me "Tre be careful"
Don't you realize you're special
This life don't owe you nothing
This world just might be bluffing
Gotta keep your soul intact though
Reignite my commitment
Been a forerunner in this business
Never really settling for distance

Don't pray for me baby
Don't pray for me baby
This the lifestyle
I guess you'll never know
Can't replace me oh you think I'd never grow
Finally made it clear
Now it's time to show, oh my god
I been runnin' ever since a n***a
Ever knew the code
Had to make you proud I guess one day you'll get to know
Don't you know this life for a n***a
And you know it's so wild for a n***a
Wild for a n***a

[Bridge]
Money and crack sales
Business is all black
They wanna kill me now
Kill me 'cause I'm black
America loves greed, America hates hope
N***a I'm legendary, I'll never sell dope
Look ma, I made it out
Check out my situation
Promise you'll never leave
Watch how the topic changes
We're all being blindsided
Caught up in fabrication
Living under domination

Beat Switch

[Verse 2]
If I make it out
I know I'm packagin' some real shit
Prophet of it all, a youngin' n***a hit the kill switch
I prophesied my death, they want me dead
I feel alleviated, profit off the margin
I could make it if I double that
Doubled off the pack
Before I made it I supplied with rap
They know Hero going for the gold
They know the coldest back, In my cul-de-sac
They label me the n***a comin' through
Peep the clearest view
My vision always been apparent
You really think that you had it
I'm the one who chanced it all
I really heard the call, I really had to ball
So fuck 'em all, what you label greatness
Is insulting to the personal
Everything I do attached to verses serves a purpose bro
Always keep it real
The only quality that keeps afloat
How you truly dope if you can't realize
I'm the fucking hope, tryna make the money
I can show you that it's worthless ho
