we been almost rich for a long time
i know you wanna do more than survive
could you hold on for me?
i know it's rough but could you hold on your seat
we came too far to be cold in the streets
i know this isn't all that we supposed to be
if you family you family i ride for ya
if you fake then you know i keep an eye on ya
ten toes down have a little faith would ya
talk down on the fam i can't fuck with ya
grew up petty how could i change that
talking out your neck you get your chain snatched
they got a lot of words but we don't exchange that
most of our peers either facing dirt or facing years
or explaining how they could have had a sports career
we ain't on that coulda woulda shoulda shit this year
we was chosen and i know it 'cause we still here
we been almost rich for a long time
i know you wanna do more than survive
could you hold on for me?
i know it's rough but could you hold on your seat
we came too far to be cold in the streets
i know this isn't all that we supposed to be
all that i've done and overcome
chino got popped i couldn't trust anyone
got out the garden with a green rule of thumb
had this money mindset for awhile man
sometimes i think we was better without it man
sometimes i kick back think where the time went
back when drug money wasn't our style man
we'll get it right probably
and all the people that we lost
and you know everywhere i go my angels following me
and if i ever do you wrong it's just the devil in me
we been almost rich for a long time
i know you wanna do more than survive
could you hold on for me?
i know it's rough but could you hold on your seat
we came too far to be cold in the streets
i know this isn't all that we supposed to be
but i love the way i live
one time for my franklin soldiers
one time for my franklin queens
one time for my franklin kings
i been doing my franklin thing
i been doing my franklin thing
i been doing my f-town thing
i been doing my jersey thing
