i saw the vision and i stayed focused
from late nights to daytona's
from great drive to range rovers
soul searching is so worth it
could've been an accident
still have your own purpose
the mandem don't work for me
'cause the closest ones go the furthest
why you telling me a friend of me's an enemy?
these people tryna start something just to see the end of me
i needed to be worse off just to see the better me
i still assemble with niggas that i was in assembly with
chat shit but you ain't telling me shit
i ain't gotta tell him he's shit
hoping u-turn when you diss
it's all fun and games 'til you play yourself
it's all runaway when you enslave yourself
so i turned into young fire 'cause i came from hell
give her heaven before mummy gets to heaven
daily duppy with the weapon
i'm in true religion 'cause they want me in their denims
putting two and two together
never made a lucky seven before
i'll put 20's on the floor and call it settling scores
'cause capital's for everybody but the choice was yours
i wondered if the culture could get rinsed anymore
and now the mandem got a mercury and didn't plan it
meanwhile gyal are getting surgery but still ain't janet
it's like i need a velvet rope to give me balance
i don't even date no more and it gives me balance
'cause i don't trust these girls i'm contradicting myself 'cause i love these girls
yeah they love me well but do they love me as well?
when i've got seven sisters who don't know about the snail
who don't know about the colombians
don't know about the wickes
who couldn't come and meet my children but could swallow my kids
i ain't got me any children i'm just saying what if
don't smoke but i'm faded
i ain't been this stoned in ages
i'm in a room full of smoke
that's a room full of smoke
couldn't get a list of plays
promise you i won't come down when i go a-list
can't follow fresh footsteps in old trainers
is this worth more than money?
it's been a long time coming
it's been a long time coming
turn a yout' to a made man
but he's got his steel tucked and he won't let it go
but he remembers that he's street
probably do something he regrets
that's only if he gets involved
that's the story of most of the youngers
gotta go with your gut feeling i've grown in the gutters
brotherhood will get my brothers out the hood
i had nothing to show for this
now i get shows in abundance
i'm tryna protect my angels
i'm tryna show you we're able without the preaching
i'm the difference between madness and genius
i can't believe this how did we get this far
will these bars get me to a bar mitzvah? ay
it's been a long time coming
