This was once upon a time

It all started back in like 2006
When he moved up on the work
They started calling him a prince
Always had the newest clothes
Always wore the freshest kicks
Since he jumped off da porch he's been down here like ever since
Look, once upon a time he was a youngin’ that was thugging on the corners, he was hustlin', [?]
He was mugging, he was jugging and finessing
They didn't like how he was comin’
But the shorties that were with him promised that they weren't for nothing
So they put the hood on lock, yeah they put that bitch on clamps
You couldn't even come around if you ain't get your ass that stamp
Other n***as they was hating , throwing shade just like a lamp
Never paid that shit no mind cause he had killers in his camp
So they had to put respect on shorty name now
He was so insane, hanging with Mosey and Bang now
Freaky died in '08 and he was startin' to feel that pain now
Now he understanding that this shit ain't no game now
Then he started seeing n***as change up, n***as switching lanes
But him and all the shorties he was with was in the rain stuck
Told his n***as that we gotta promise to remain us
All the older n***as left us out here to get flamed up
Saddest part about it, he ain't never had no guidance
All he know was that he ridin’ ’til they run up on [?]
Told his brothers: "We can't get divded, we gotta stay silent. We gon’ run hella [?] 'til we take off like a rocket hold on"
