[Chorus]
Uh-huh
He was the boy, he was the man
He had the jewels, he had the toys, he had the gal
He loved the game, but he wanna leave, he know that it's foul
Even though that he young, the way that he think, he as old as the owl
Makin' a cake, but he won't touch it or spend it for days
Makin' investments, plottin' his route, he's tryna escape
He ain't with the shits, he never did bang, he knows that therе's more
But he's still with the gang, hе frontin' that beef, they goin' to war

[Verse 1]
Tellin' his girl couple more flips, he outta the game
But bodies is droppin' and n***as is tellin', they callin' his name
Ain't used to the heat 'cause he never knew that side of the fame
Then when they get caught in conspiracy charges, he outta the frame
Now he outta town, he outta sight, out of the pic
But n***as is grimy, n***as is foul, n***as is sick
They got the drop, they know his girl, she got his kids
Find out where she live, kicked in the door, showed her the Sig'
Now they got his heart, they got his ribs
He got no voice, he got no choice, he's back in the bits
But remember, he was the boy, he was the man
Tryna round up his mans, but all of them gone, alakazam, damn

[Chorus]
Uh-huh
He was the boy, he was the man
He had the jewels, he had the toys, he had the gal
He loved the game, but he wanna leave, he know that it's foul
Even though that he young, the way that he think, he as old as the owl
Makin' a cake, but he won't touch it or spend it for days
Makin' investments, plottin' his route, he's tryna escape
He ain't with the shits, he never did bang, he knows that there's more
But he's still with the gang, he frontin' that beef, they goin' to war
[Verse 2]
Now he back where he from, but everythin' wrong, everythin' strange
Woke up in the mornin', went to the gym, jumped in the Range
Mindin' his business, stuck in traffic, caught on the mains
Two n***as in masks run up to the car and let off the flames
Stepped on the gas, tryna get ghost, tryna get gone
Flipped the whole whip, crawled out on foot, he had to run
Them n***as split, they thought he was did, they thought he was done
But short, he was good and he got the smarts and he got the funds
Now back in his crib, he got the call, he got the dial
Found out who it was, he got the word from his brother uptown
Was the mandem he knew, them n***as switched sides, n***as is foul
They sold out they man all for the P's, all for the pound
But he got a trick right up his sleeves, he's got a plan
Hire some killys from outta town, they in a van
He want his girl, he want his kid, he want the gang
He made a call, said, "Meet at the spot," he got the bands
They think that he done, they think that he weak, they think he alone
Think they know how he move, they know he won't shoot, but he keep a chrome
They came with the gang, they came with his fam, they came with the boys
But he sent the killys, they came with the chaos, they came with the noise

[Chorus]
Uh-huh
He was the boy, he was the man
He had the jewels, he had the toys, he had the gal
He loved the game, but he wanna leave, he know that it's foul
Even though that he young, the way that he think, he as old as the owl
Makin' a cake, but he won't touch it or spend it for days
Makin' investments, plottin' his route, he's tryna escape
He ain't with the shits, he never did bang, he knows that there's more
But he's still with the gang, he frontin' that beef, they goin' to war
