I can't imagine my life before Won't even wonder Too much shit for me to ignore Looking at my days Like I wonder what else in store Cuz all of them minutes that I spent In front of the store Just made me hungry for more I like sneaker money But I been nice since I left the porch So it wasn't a surprise When a nigga was in the source Yea I followed Behind the king of New York It was people in between But I did it with no support I was pulling up to venues Wit USBs and a hawk So next time you question The temperature of my talk Know I been around Before I was fire I had a spark It's a chosen few that know this The rest of them in the dark I put the game on notice Split thru the city The way I came like Moses It ain't gone many out here To change how I focus I never been hopeless I cut my grass even lower Just to watch for the cobras I learned a lot just from Watching niggaz make they mistakes Tired of trapping no reason Up and ran from the jakes And the story too familiar I don't wanna relate The tax bracket getting higher God don't make no mistakes Ran it back with 183rd Streets at my fingers but I Gave em what I preferred Cuz niggaz be scary have em shaken But never stirred nothing was given Everything I got that was earned That got me off of the curb I got daughters growing up And my oldest nice wit the pen Artist in the DNA empty canvas and we begin Told her look inside herself Cuz a classic come from within I was in the wrong race but this one I know I'ma win So I'm focused Got this life that I'm living Love it a lot Twist and turns through my stories I'm never changing the plot Just a nigga from a bottom Who saw his way to the top Nanna watching from clouds And she proud so I couldn't stop I been humble but just know I'm a go out talkin my shit Couldn't box in me in know Alotta niggaz that quit Just more room for me I'm in the studio Cookin 2 or 3 they been in them circles but None of that shit be new to me Nothing I ain't see but the end I'm still at the start come 100 deep But it's only some with the heart Money coming in making music Won't check the charts Nah I don't work hard I'm working smart
