(Ayo, Bans, what you cookin´?) (It´s Malik on the track) (Run that shit up, Jay) It´s YoungBoy (Khris James, what the fuck?)
Street nigga and she got a real possessive body Youngin´, don´t you want your life? Don´t be stupid, this ain´t kamikaze How you ´posed to hustle? You can´t focus, you out here takin´ Roxies Knowin´ I got the trick like hocus pocus for to drop the boxes
Hold your own, young man Hold And remember no love Inside these streets you roam
Go, New York in a peacoat, catch me jumpin´ out of taxis Just paid ten million for my taxes, no time for flashin´
Transaction active, he too flashy What´s the worse perhaps could happen? Result in him tied up on the other side of the bed, stuffed under the mattress Tryna twist my world around like she a Rubik´s Cube Tryna bring some love around to stop my hustle, I´ll murder Cupid She say, "You don´t deserve me, stupid, you fuckin´ jerk, let go of my shirt" Since grandma died, I ain´t go to church, she a gospel woman, the past hurt In the eight Atlantic section, hand in a pot, I´m with VL Been a chef before a rapper, I was tryna show ´em that my recipes still good still Duckin´ from a line of steel, they done pried eight through the car
Tell the bosses in my time, "I´m on the line, hold your cigar" Shots fired, we send ´em back, the neighbors say they saw us And they knowin´ we can´t control it, but try protectin´ they lil´ boy Feelin´ insecure, I could work you good, but feel like a lil´ boy That´s just me, I´m thinkin´ out loud, but your bitch´ll tell you I go hard I done jumped up out my sleep, I´m on K2, it´s not that boy No direction, ain´t no plans, just tell Khris to just press record Just bought a new house for my girl, my daughters, and my lil´ boys Six million, bitch, I´m sittin´ on top the mountain like Costello, nigga
Hold your own, young man Hold And remember no love Inside these streets you roam
Just did time, became a hustler, tryna turn it from backwards (What that mean?) He been tryna make the money keep on stackin´ Education out the streets, don´t need no lecture pastor Run from police, they don´t like me ´cause I´m a rich fuckin´ bastard Turn it up, go faster, I come from stolen cars to my own whip Got a shooter inside with me, ain´t got no name, they like, "Who own him?" Told youngin, "Don´t leave the backside of that Nawf," they like, "Who zoned him?"
Finally rich, I came home and turned around, they said, "They cloned him" Mathematics gon´ switch my whole position, we play with numbers here Start it, end it, puttin´ shit in the grave, this be them diggers, yeah Green flag tattoos all on they face and they be quick to kill From the environment, holdin´ my bitch body, it was an attempt to get me drilled The art of water, art of murder, look who standin´ still Audemars came stainless steel Portrait painter can´t even paint the kid DA tryna paint the picture A lie, I can´t, the truths, I bid Signed a gentle bond, still set the bid Dreamed of contract business as a kid
Hold your own, young man Hold And remember no love Inside these streets you roam
