Oz, you're big time
I was young and used to think of cap guns back when
I was havin' fun
Now I'm caught up in this rap shit, gamblin' my life for one
Lookin' back at shit from?my?past,?it ain't much?
I haven't done
Tryna?learn from mistakes like my last one 'cause I got a son
Started off just shootin' baskets, then we was ditchin' classes (Ayy)
Smokin' gas and havin' fistfights later turned to blastin' (Bah)
Grew up, got immune to madness, you couldn't even imagine
Broski ain't get to see my mansion, I carried his casket (Damn)
Went and did time, until he got back, I carried his ratchet
I was trappin', ain't unwrap it, it stayed in the plastic
Tellin' broski, "Wear a mask," 'cause it played with his asthma (Woo)
Gage wasn't even five foot seven, he carryin' plasmas
Could've went to school in Dallas and played for the Mavericks
Instead, I adapted to Essex and stayed with the savages (Uh)
Mama said stay where I'm at, don't come back, she ain't havin' it
Now when she ask for the racks, it's five k on the average
Look at how they had us (They had us), look at all those tragedies
Hell yeah, we start trappin' shit, look at all us raggedy
Thank my OG for havin' me (For havin' me)
Fried bologna when I had to eat (When I had to eat)
All of my teens, I was ridin' the streets (I was ridin')
Now we the richest they got over east (Ayy)
Never forgot who was laughin' at me
Know before rap, I was strapped with the heat
Know all the niggas was clappin' at me (Clappin' at me)
Never told police what happened to me (What happened)
Ninety hollows when we clap at the G (Krah)
Never reply to who rappin' to me (Uh)
Never was askin' for drama
Just stayed in a spot where it's that catch me lack, shit'll squeeze
One to the back, he collapsed to his knees
Ain't have to give him that extra fifteen (Grrah)
If I would've died in my prime, news would've said that he just was a teen
But I was a teen out doin' some reckless things
I had a strap in my jeans
Shout out 2013 (Ayy)
That's when I lost Kobe and Peewee (Kobe and Peewee, ayy)
I kept a Glizzy, a 23
Folks saw the opps with the 3
D (Uh)
That's my kinfolk, we ain't GD (Uh)
My chain got rocks like BBs, Maybach seats got TVs
My C Money rose with VVS
The opp hoes know all my CDs (You know them)
The opps damn near wanna be me
Gotta go the other way when they see me
If a nigga broke, how he gon' see me? (Pussy)
Gave niggas hope, why else they need me?
I be everywhere, probably Bahimi (Probably)
Bitches partyin' all in bikinis
Baby, I don't even drink martinis (Uh-uh)
Exotic pack, got a hat like a genie (Uh-huh, whatà?)
Smokin' Backs for my stress, let it ease me (Ayy)
Gotta make this boss shit look easy
But you know it's everything but easy (Everything)
Money over everything, it please me (Over everything)
Money go and everything gon' leave me (Everything)
Where was they before my watch was freezy? (Huh?)
To get what they want, watch 'em deceive me (Watch 'em deceive me)
They don't even know me, how they believe me? (How they believe?)
Sometimes I be thinkin' from me to me, it be hard for somebody else bein' me
Back and forth, tryna balance the Ms, my lovers and friends, I'm caught in a frenzy
Thinkin' what my mama was sayin' about all of my friends, now all of 'em dead (Damn)
Wishin' I can call them again, do it all again, but it's all in my head (Damn)
Was it really wrong what we did?
If we ain't go as hard as we did, probably all'll be dead
Lean on each other, came through for another, that's all that we had
They don't understand, so callin' my lawyer again, that's all that we said
Everywhere we stand, them people was on us for playin' them corners again
But they don't understand
