Written by：Rick Ross/Big K.R.I.T./Lupe Fiasco

Peace no material possessions shall cloud my judgement

As I reach in an ethereal direction to provide my substance

Love is not found but resides insides me I manifest this

I will respect myself and wear serenity as my necklace

I will replace what I take and have tranquility as my breakfast

Shed a new light on a new path

I will gain rhythm and lose wrath attain wisdom and refuse graft

And build upon what I built on and wisely regulate time I do have

'Cause what is defeat

But just the evidence of my haste

Lack of preparedness in my waste so I wait

Surround myself with nutrition wholesomeness and true livin'

Use natural codes of conduct to remove schism when the rules missing

I will pursue felicity find value in simplicity

Altruism and empathy will be the first thing extended to my enemy

Clarity will be the trademark of my friendships

Just invest in my business and appreciative of the rarity of my existence

Cause I got chillin' by the million tranquillo by the kilo

Ni**a ni**a what and I got kilos by the speedboat

And I ain't talkin' 'bout them ***

I'm talkin' 'bout that love

For myself and all my niggas

All my b**ches and all my thugs what's up

Cause I got chillin' by the million tranquillo by the kilo

Ni**a ni**a what and I got kilos by the speedboat

And I ain't talkin' 'bout that work

I'm talkin' 'bout that worth

Of myself and all my niggas

Every diamond came out the dirt ni**a

I got b**ches on b**ches all my dreams and my visions

I remember me fishin' out of canals in the trenches

Now a ni**a be flossy Rolls Royce lookin' glossy

Quick to put down a demo to get these haters up off me

I like to smoke to myself I just try to improve

Let my son hold my strap while I swim laps in the pool

Told my daughter the rules which we all must abide

Your daddy was far from perfect things we did to survive

I just wanted to fly they always lookin' down on us

School district full of killers I mean these niggas ferocious

Only violence and *** there was nothin' for us

All I had was this music I couldn't afford to do much

Cause I got chillin' by the million tranquillo by the kilo

Ni**a ni**a what and I got kilos by the speedboat

And I ain't talkin' 'bout them ***

I'm talkin' 'bout that love

For myself and all my niggas

All my b**ches and all my thugs what's up

'Cause I got chillin' by the million tranquillo by the kilo

Ni**a ni**a what and I got kilos by the speedboat

And I ain't talkin' 'bout that work

I'm talkin' 'bout that worth

Of myself and all my niggas

Every diamond came out the dirt ni**a

Young ni**a say ball

'Cause he ain't really livin' life 'less he's down to roll the dice

Put it all on the line for a couple dollars

And a bad b**ch that only think about him if he call

Is it really worth the time and the effort

Chasin' wood grain and the leather

Puttin' pressure on the pedal I don't want the devil

Hopin' he fall

Feed him to his nonsense mothaf**k a contract

You don't need a handout they gon' bring the bands out

Choppas make 'em stand down good Lord

But you don't wanna be another ni**a

Chasin' figures that never really add up

White folk pass your face

Dyin' in the grass 'cause they wouldn't call the law

'Cause you're hooded black and they think you're sellin' crack

Maybe so you don't give a f**k in a rut ni**a

'Til those in the street got you stuck ni**a what ni**a

Buck buck ni**a

Buried your partner just the other day knowin' he was too young

Had a tool tryna roll on the folk

Let it go on the folk but he wasn't down to shoot one

Though the time dead and gone is YOLO what we on

I heard different it's never too late to listen and be reborn

Young ni**a young ni**a young ni**a go be reborn

Peace and understanding is what you should be on

'Cause I got chillin' by the million tranquillo by the kilo

Ni**a ni**a what and I got kilos by the speedboat

And I ain't talkin' 'bout them ***

I'm talkin' 'bout that love

For myself and all my niggas

All my b**ches and all my thugs what's up

'Cause I got chillin' by the million tranquillo by the kilo

Ni**a ni**a what and I got kilos by the speedboat

And I ain't talkin' 'bout that work

I'm talkin' 'bout that worth

Of myself and all my niggas

Every diamond came out the dirt ni**a
