I can't call it Like 976, is it the Five or is it Spaulding Or is it my nigga when he making them poor decisions For the ones he can't take back I just pray that The Lord forgive him Daddy told me that way back: God the only thing that is greater Live that truth til they commit yo obituary to papers Days are longer for the youth, take yo time and get it right Exercise all yo ambitions and live yo muthafuckin life Pay yo tithes and pay attention put it on that mog titty I ain't perfect, I been smoking way before jamaal tinsley I been working, I been working, while they playing on yo phone Less it add up on the statement, I leave well enough alone I ain't taking no vacations, I predict the fall of Rome Tryna elevate my station, replicate and send it home Inspiration for my niggas, I just want my people Free Put that on my daughter name in case i never live to see it [Norvis Jr] Tryna maintain got a nigga doin so so much...

Sun shined when my eyes opened I'm good %|\/\/\/\/\|> You wake up. They taxing. Fares rising on transit. Posted up on that sofa bruh. I'm knowin way way back when you showed up on they campus you thought it be a lil different if you aced all of they classes. That's square shit thats action. difference in that canvas. Stakes same y'all both flamed if y'all don't pay them taxes. what they don't say in them transcripts: fuckboys is in fashion, make factions, enforce fines and then fuck you in the fine print for yo fractions in they off time. Mogs kill and go to work the next day and shit. Keep that in mind when I'm deciding who I get paper with. He not designed to push no papers, I can't play em Everybody wanna ball but only few a make the papers Hella mogs be standing tall but only few a skyscrapers And I seen a tower fall—two-uhm, it's crazy Where i grew up. And these grown ups on that crazy shit. Should keep that in mind when you deciding who you lay up with There could come a time when they deciding who gon babysit Just keep that in mind when you deciding who you lay up with Therapy and time'll do you fine it ain't no shame in that Activate yo grind and in due time you'll find yo way in that Everything fine Sun shined when my eyes opened I'm good %|\/\/\/\/\|> Sun shined when my eyes opened I'm good. Awaken by nickel and dimers wit reggie, the pedigree off in my hood, so I keep turnips by the volume young Petty Roosevelt they know I'm loud. But my OG hard of hearing so I can not turn it down Not her neither mane that's file, I don't drop box but I stay off in the clouds On it, float like ain't no ground. Tell you bout it how I show you. They know how I get down Ain't no minute like the moment that we living in right now Seen a numba niggas clone it so I know they got no style or we shining Barry O. ambition I don't even need a lining Barrio to Bedford Stuy don't even a guide Bet I always kept it g whatever city I reside in MAN

Kings shot a nigga car up hit a couple queens tore they heart up I was hard up for a lil'tention til I got it. Got it then I got up out the muhfuckin jam like Charles vs Shaq when he played for the rockets. Product turn to profit off the muhfuckin fans got me holding hella cards in my hand like a wallet Wearing Wally's and a iPod playing Chris Wallace in the everyday struggle mo money mo prollems Yeah they catching niggas slipping on the bus stop. Ain't no mo Olympics so the buck stop. Values on the east side dip, time to flip Til the hood turn white than a truck stop. Redline mogs now the rent high. Making headlines tryna make the deadline. So they going hella hard no money mo probms No iPhone still gon FaceTime. Now they catching mogs slipping with them phones out ten percent to pay them student loans down but tuition stay high den the js by the time Shit paid you'll be laying in a hole now Grind errr night tryna get the bread right Pushing redline tryna meet them deadlines Got em goin so hard, no money mo probms No sleep have ya fucking up the bread now Now the people with the paper print the paper. You a sharecropper with a chopper or a caper ain't no different than Them mogs stripping copper out the casings They just work a lil hard than that dollar gon take em. Only probm if we fair it up, everybody hair cut Knowing all I wanted was a muthafuckin taper. Fore I catch a fade from the Feds I'll be in the shade Growing marijuana on my muthafuckin acres baby Call it Old Gold
