I had to get out of Hollywood
Get back to the trenches, they said they need me
Lil fish

I used to cop my little reggie tryna feed myself

My cousin had that work but I didn´t need no help
Man I was so fucked up I couldn´t believe myself
That´s why I be at the jeweler tryna freeze myself
´Cause my heart so cold, we ain´t got no goals
All these young niggas killin´ like they ain´t got no souls
Talkin´ Grand Marquis, before I cop my Rolls
It was all so sweet until Dashawn told
Really hurt my heart, ripped my feelings apart
Out in Philly it´s dark, we was really so scarred
But actin´ silly so hard but we just wanted some love
Mama workin´, daddy dead, I just wanted a hug
Why you think we spillin´ spade when we go to the club
All my homies think I smoke, we just rollin´ it up

I´m stressed out, niggas got Jordans, feel left out
So I went to chasin´ them birdies, I went south, fuck it

I went from goin´ to school, to totin´ them tools and makin´ a move
Said I would win, they said I would lose, shit
We´re so confused, hope I don´t make the news, oh Lord
We was breakin´ the rules, trappin´ to get some food
Risking freedom for shoes
Knowin´ that I don´t need em, I´m spending money on jewels
Jeweler like, "He´s a fool"
They told us that this was cool

Caught my first case, it was me versus the state
I just wanted some steak and some food on my plate
Came up from shit I´m like "how can you hate"
I´m just tryna be great, I survived with the snakes
Look what they did to Lil Kodak and Gates´
I can´t lose faith, I just want shine like the stars in my wraith
We go to war in fatigues like it´s bape
I don´t feel safe, can´t sleep without it
Master with them P´s yeah boy I´m ´bout it ´bout it
Brought me to my knees back when everybody doubted
Can´t let my youngins see me fold, I´m too solid
If I stand on it, I´ma stand on it
Put some bags on the scale, put some grams on it

This the only shit I knew I seen my man done it
Tryna be like niggas who were never there for us
We ain´t have no guidance

I went from goin´ to school, to totin´ them tools and makin´ a move
Said I would win, they said I would lose, shit
We´re so confused, hope I don´t make the news, oh Lord
We was breakin´ the rules, trappin´ to get some food
Risking freedom for shoes
Knowin´ that I don´t need em, I´m spending money on jewels
Jeweler like, "He´s a fool"
They told us that this was cool

Coppers scoopin´ niggas out their radar

Niggas puttin´ niggas in the graveyard
Jobs told us beat it like an A&R
So we play with heart, fuck it we gon´ play it raw
Cut the lights, told my momma they ain´t stayin´ off
They killed my daddy and it turned me to a man, dog
We play with rugers, play with Glocks, we ain´t playin ball
Shit we tryna stay alive it´s a standoff
My life for your life
Go to war like we got like four lives
Talkin´ before like, all this lil´ rap shit
Where I´m from if you turn eighteen, then that´s More Life
For real nigga

When you have no voice
Ain´t nobody hear us, so we ain´t have no choice

I went from goin´ to school, to totin´ them tools and makin´ a move
Said I would win, they said I would lose, shit
We´re so confused, hope I don´t make the news, oh Lord
We was breakin´ the rules, trappin´ to get some food
Risking freedom for shoes
Knowin´ that I don´t need em, I´m spending money on jewels
Jeweler like, "He´s a fool"
They told us that this was cool
