[Verse]
17 in thousand dollar sweaters
Knew better than tell my mom it's Margiela
Had to floss, hitting stains on eBay making pickups for *beep*
Touched more money than my momma house costs
Young jugging n***a on honor roll
Gotta hide them dollars, can't let momma know
That was when the same n***as who was plotting on me for some weeks
Probably ran up in my crib and they only took my sneaks
The same n***as up at lunch in middle school, I'll help 'em eat
Must have not noticed the shoebox with 2 racks by the seat
Couldn't even get mad, I used to hit licks too back, in '06 too
Aight, take him out of his kicks too
14 made honor roll, 16 I skipped school
17 got my diploma, 18 I had fees
7 I had bars, at 8 I had 16s
6 was in the booth because big bank had believed
Hitting shorties at 14, fell in love at 16
Broke hearts the next year, mine was broke at 18
I was broke at 18, could have sold dope at 18
Got to college, she let me stroke while my roommate was there sleep
Looking like my father, it's crazy how we barely speak
Met BK, now his brother is mine
He in LA, I'ma slide right off the 405
I been depressed, I be happy, I be stressed all the time
Them ain't your real friends 'cause they say yes all the time
Getting this college diploma, last night I wasn't sober
So now I'm up in morning, just praying with a hangover
I used to wanna be Hova, I used to wanna be Kola
I still wanna be Kola
Still think I'm dope but I still wanna be doper
I'm still not with the drama
Know God is real, I see him in sis and my momma
It's crazy, I used to pull women with no confidence
So imagine when I got low confidence
Still question if I got it, Tun still say that I do
Still feel like King Dilla, might body you and yo' crew
Gotta keep it authentic
Know what you going through, know I feel it
Since jeezy had them snowman tees, I been the realest
Comp, man, I welcome that
Leave 'em at the welcome mat
Blocka blocka blocka
How's that for a welcome back?
Delacreme
[Outro]
Yeah
And Tun said, "Don't let 'em take their soul", yeah
So why I got my soul back, uh
He said, "Don't let 'em take control", yeah
So I got control back, yeah
He like, "What they hating for?", yeah
Blocka, tell 'em don't want that, yeah
It's like they tryna take my soul, yeah
But I might take my soul back
