Boy who you done beat up

Hit you on your records you sounding very high uh huh

But what you done did the n***a can verify uh

No corroboration ain't no conversation uh

Just a bunch of a cap mixed with a lot of hating

Went from hand to hand at the serving station

To making a hundred and fifty grand just off day training

And man we know you ain't did the s**t you said there

No

Where I come from you end up a dead man

Playing 'round

Where a n***a die for staying down

The neighborhood we can't build it faster than they tear it down

Black man fire and homie I hear sirens

White police firing homie and they silent

Gotta take some losses if you wanna win

Disrespect it's d**n near mandatory that we gotta spin brrt

Tryna hibernate we give his nest to kin 21

Encore f**k it hit they block again on God

Fell in love with hard times

They turned me to a f**king man 21

Living by the code I don't talk to police never

Stand up when I'm pissing can't no n***a ho me p***y

Rapping like I'm preaching all my bars holy 21

You flexing for the 'gram that is not your Rollie 21

Pockets overweight and all my opps bony facts
