retire my jersey

i had my feet to the fire

i kept my head looking skyward

i'll be working 'til i die but i need my jersey retired

i prayed

i dreamed

red lights turned green

i don't chase rings

stayed home

made kings

admit it

we made it look too easy

everybody doesn't have the juice

if the day comes that i'm pushing paper

i'll be pulling paper too

rap checks when we 82

two men like how we made it move

no windows on the bedroom stu'

how the hell we got thirty million views?

tell me that i'll never hit the hall of fame

i'm a hero in my hometown

real me same as rap me

got some real ones and they hold me down

i just wanna put my people on

been that way from the get-go

some of y'all never learned patience

so i had to learn to let go

same team

same team

one love

one dream

put my number in the rafters

let 'em know i made it to the league

same team

same team

one love

one dream

put my number in the rafters

when i die

i'll leave a legacy

yeah

industry full of politicians

i don't get the pub'

i don't do the most

i was never buddy-bud

i was never with the elbow-rub

i was never with the fake love

prolly why they think i never came up

how many local rappers got 'em lined up

around the corner like the plug?

they don't like it when you know the game

ooh

they love it when you acting up

tell the kids that they don't need a middleman

got the resume to back it up

you gotta get on before you can put on

they were lookin' at me tryna rush it

now when you speck affiliated in the city

can't nobody touch it

i had my feet to the fire

i kept my head lookin' skyward

i'll be working 'til i die but i need my jersey retired

i prayed

i dreamed

red lights turned green

i don't chase rings

stayed home

made kings

same team

same team

one love

one dream

put my number in the rafters

let 'em know i made it to the league

same team

same team

one love

one dream

put my number in the rafters

when i die

i'll leave a legacy
