That´s called energy It´s understood without words I love where I come from, I love where I´m goin´ I love where I´ve been
I appreciate it all, uh
I prayed for this moment, thank you, Lord, I´m truly grateful I´m doin´ numbers I can´t tell, I´m off them major labels Stick to my truth and mind my business, that´s my human nature Soul saver, game changer, I´m the biggest stepper Married man, business man, see, that´s two different levels Seven figures on the low, but I´m your humble servant My kids straight, but I get hatred from the ones who birthed ´em I ain´t trippin´, still tippin´ with the gift of gab
My struggle deep, my spirit guides got me pickin´ scabs We livin´ lav´, me and wifey just been keepin´ tabs See, we got options, ain´t no toxic, we remove the mask I see you clear, I see your fear, I done been insecure, you feel that?
Yeah, Ace It´s me The Butcher comin´, nigga Yeah I spent my teens pushin´ weight rock-hard I served clean at the streets, had to rate five stars
But I spent my twenties upstate, got charged Starin´ out my cell window, watchin´ raindrops fall Niggas put out wack shit, and y´all tell me I should be nervous? That shit sound funny like Omarion in the Verzuz How the feds get a nigga to rat and burden his kids And the nigga he told on release date be earlier than his? Uh, yeah, latex gloves when I boil dope ´Cause I ain´t tryna get oil coke on this Royal Oak Call us oldheads and ask do I find it annoying, no ´Cause the more you´ve been through, lil´ nigga, the more you know, mm
The more you know It´s real shit, strong rule the weak But the wise rule the strong (Ayy, Ace) It´s real anger (It´s love) Yeah, uh
Photographic memory, paint a hustler picture vivid (I do) It´s glorified on the outside, but it´s fucked up when you live it (Man) Interrogation rooms with tough guys turned timid Turned witnesses, switch on the whole gang like they was never in it I never went to science class, but my role models was chemists Hottest out, regardless, if they don´t post it on Akademiks (It don´t matter)
Learn to pitch without a mound, I brought my team to the pennant (I did) How you speakin´ on this game and you barely been in a scrimmage? Window to my soul is tinted, ain´t no seein´ through me And in her mind, she think it´s love, but I don´t see it, groupie Don´t start to think you Scarface after you see the movie ´Cause Alejandro sent a fleet of hitters, squeezin´ Uzis, it´s Blanco, man (Boom) That´s the uncomfortable truth It´s understood Uh
Blindfolded in the darkness, how I find the light? How I rise and they surprised? It seem like overnight Black queen by my side, not into China White Sippin´ Pinot Grigio, she deserve the best in life Fuck the cost, she want a boss, we don´t fisher price We at the villa, just takin´ pictures, we super fine Blessings from above, how could I not give thanks? I´m breakin´ chains in my family, ain´t no reform slaves We gon´ fight through all that trauma, get a grip on things I was raised in a world where men don´t cry out pain
We respond by gettin´ bricks to heal our poverty shame Gain a world with happiness, just can´t exist in that frame, I know you feel that
Forgive me for bein´ transparent and honest We gotta rise
