Modern Day
[Intro]
Woo, yeah
Cannon
Being black n***a, it's like a modern-day crime
M-m-m-modern day crime

[Verse 1]
They say I fell off, I bounce back, I got it in me
Hustle fully automatic, dawg, don't do no semi (Yah)
Seven-day grind theory, dawg, Hustleveli ('Veli)
That's why I got that thug motivation 'cross my belly (Yeah)
You confusin' me with them dawg? Must be a mix-up
Lots to celebrate, yeah, pour me up a big cup (Yeah)
N***a I ain't dead, I ain't in the penitentiary
All the shit I did, yeah, I could've did a century (Talk that shit, n***a)
N***a I was plottin' on missing elementary
Third period holdin' my vision, pockеts empty (Damn)
Please don't tеll me I can't do it, that will tempt me (Tempt me)
What you know about adversity? I tell 'em plenty (Let's go)

[Chorus]
All these chains on, feel like a modern-day slave (Slave)
Ten-year sentence, that's a modern-day grave (What's up?)
Real estate n***a, that's a modern-day flex
Seven-figure n***a, that's a modern-day check (Let's go)
Self-made n***a, that's a modern-day grind (Haha)
Being black n***a, that's a modern-day crime (Yeah)
If he got a badge, that's a modern-day opp (Opp)
Motivation 'cross my belly, like a modern-day 'Pac (Let's go)
[Verse 2]
A soldier dies one time, coward dies a million
Came back reincarnated, what a feelin' (Damn)
Forever I'm immortal, nah, you can't kill my spirit (Nah)
Why they always hatin' on your name? 'Cause they fear it (Believe that shit, n***a)
Give them all of me, like John, I'm a legend (Legend)
Word to Bush, drug war n***a, I'm a veteran (Haha)
Post-traumatic stress, for the pain I need some morphine
Cash rules everything around me, need some more cream
If I die tonight, wonder if heaven got a ghetto (Ghetto)
Me and my girlfriend on brown liquor, gettin' mellow (Boo)
Sippin' brown, blowin' green, yeah that's thug passion (Yeah)
Y'all thought that I was done-done? That's all a thug askin'

[Chorus]
All these chains on, feel like a modern-day slave (Slave)
Ten-year sentence, that's a modern-day grave (What's up?)
Real estate n***a, that's a modern-day flex
Seven figure n***a, that's a modern-day check (Let's go)
Self-made n***a, that's a modern-day grind (Haha)
Being black n***a, that's a modern-day crime (Yeah)
If he got a badge, that's a modern-day opp (Opp)
Motivation 'cross my belly, like a modern-day 'Pac (Let's go)

[Outro]
All these chains on, feel like a modern-day slave
Like, like a modern-day slave
Being black n***a, it's like a modern-day crime
M-m-modern-day crime
Self-made n***a, that's a modern-day grind
M-m-modern-day grind
Being black n***a, it's like a modern-day crime
I'm like modern day 'Pac
