I said hol’ up
Why when success becomes the motive
They always try to take over?
Like there ain’t no space for us on Earth
So we look over our shoulders
And move around just like some soldiers
Cuz they don’t want us to get older
We ride thru life like roller coasters
We gone make sh#t shake and pop like soda
Pass it to the left
Takin’ hits I’m surprised still I got any breath for the sh#t
Rest of the money was spent on the gas for the whip
Roll the gas up and dip flip the cash from the rent light a
Match for the wittiness to hash out all my pityness
That I don’t have no business having nowhere a n#gg# been
Cuz we could have a dream
To be a king and our life will be wished death upon many men
All over 2 quarters, no 50 cent
But it’s really bout the power they be tryna use to control us
Been rooted since they sold us
And told us we was only 2/3rds funny how
Now it be taking more than one of them to commit a murder
Our people always hurtin’
So I’ll be damned if I couldn’t hide the pain in all of the pockets of this Birkin
While doin’ all this workin’ cookin’ servin em up the recipe
With the best of me, can certainly be encompassed in a lifetime
I’m tryna be a millionaire with no lifelines
Nobody picking up hopefully it ain’t my demise
Cuz now ain’t nothin else ringing except my own advice
Up in my head, living rent free
I guess I paid the owning price ahead of the fees
The motive of the hunger struggle to stay in the feed of the media
Unless it come with some chains or gains to receive a cut
They want us addicted to greed and drugs
It get less and less about spreadin’ love
It don’t matter you got it out the mud
Long as they respect the set that you throwin’ up
So roll it up one time, for my n#gg#s tryna get it gotta get it as this trouble erupts
2 times for the homie with the Rollie double checkin’ it to make sure the diamonds enough
I said hol’ up
Why when success becomes the motive
They always try to take over?
Like there ain’t no space for us on Earth
So we look over our shoulders
And Move around just like some soldiers
Cuz they don’t want us to get older
We ride thru life like roller coasters
We gone make sh#t shake and pop like soda
Keep it going never settle for cheaper homie
Got them demons on me tryna creep up knowing
They defeat approaching
When I speed up I’m closing in on these wins
Gotta watch how I’m posting in these threads
Time it be of the essence cuz that shit’ll go Tiktok
And the next thing you know someone else trending off what you did
That appropriation
Another excuse for a stolen nation
Because there is a lack of communication with no signs of compensation
Wondering why we grow with so much hatred I
Cannot resort to no basic sh#t, I
Cannot become these folks slave for sh#t, I
Cannot be playing no games with this, I
Cannot turn into no crazy b#tch, I’m
Done being humble sit down not this La’Marr
Don’t need they okays for reassurance
Our knowledge is truly what can lead these wars on
It’s our call of duty put em in the gulag
We shootin our shot get yo shoes on
We sick of the stories and blues songs
Gone make Illinois on our Sufjan
Bet that’ll make em turn the news on
Its one, 2 3 in the seat
Like Mike let 6 of em ring in the street
Don’t let that 4 5 come by seeking the heat and make magic happen
We won’t ever sleep
I said hol’ up
Why when success becomes the motive
They always try to take over?
Like there ain’t no space for us on Earth
So we look over our shoulders
And Move around just like some soldiers
Cuz they don’t want us to get older
We ride thru life like roller coasters
We gone make sh#t shake and pop like soda
