It's that time again
Yeah
Too many nights I sit alone inside my room and reminisce
About the times when we was young and everything was filled with bliss
We grow up fast around these parts cause we ain't got no pot to piss in
Ain't even playin' Nintendo they start playin' with them sticks
And try to make a dollar quick
Like them rappers on the screen
Sad that everything just changed after we started chasin' green
I mean you started servin' fiends
And I'm focused on a dream
Funny I'm trynna be the rapper but you sippin' on that lean
In the trap
And you steady strapped
Ain't no goin' back
Tell you I love you
Every single time
Cause you might not come back
I know your mom
And she raised you well
But look at where we at
At the bottom of the totem pole where they be totin' gats
And steady beefin' over hoods that we ain't got no ownership in
Hate that I'm kinda woke and my homies just kinda give in
To the norms of society, gotta thank God for guiding me
Cause I won't let em kill this ambition I got inside of me
Yuh
I'm goin' hard until the day I'm in a coffin
I gotta win cause I been takin' all these losses
I just wanna turn us into bosses
Cause we don't really make it out too often
Stuck up in the trenches yeah
You don't know the pain no
It's a sunny day today but I still feel the rain yo
I pray for all my friends I hope they do the same yo
We just wanna break out of these chains yo
Poppa was a addict
Momma was depressed
I was young running the streets just chasin' women trynna flex
Was under peer pressure
Even joined a gang for respect
Knowing that I wasn't 'bout it
But what else could you expect
When I lacked a father figure and my brother on the same shit
Lost, servin' fiends and robbin' for some Robin jeans
Cause all we knew was gettin' cream on some WuTang shit
Trynna get wavy on some durag shit
Man I still think about the times when I received that call
Frank got popped
I froze up, my heart dropped
Damn my mans got shot
Straight to the head
But they say he ain't dead
Laid up in a hospital bed
Hate to see 'em like this but
I gotta just thank God instead
Told 'em this a second chance at life nigga
I don't think that karma ever misses twice nigga
And since that day man I been focused on just gettin' soo paid
That we could move out to a place where we can die from old age
For real
I'm goin' hard until the day I'm in a coffin
I gotta win cause I been takin' all these losses
I just wanna turn us into bosses
Cause we don't really make it out too often
Stuck up in the trenches yeah
You don't know the pain no
It's a sunny day today but I still feel the rain yo
I pray for all my friends I hope they do the same yo
We just wanna break out of these chains yo
