My time came back ´round, and it´s right now
Know that they were thinkin´ that they want me for to lose
Know that they were pressin´, they was tryna find clues

I popped out, now I´m the news

Everything green in the inside
Pray to get it on when we slide
Everything that I say, know I can show for it
Mama said, "No," sold dope for it
And I even sung up in the choir
I ain´t even partied, stayed in, and now I´m out now
I done seen them tell you that they love you to death and then they walk out
Let off shots, hit the ground, the only thing that he ain´t walk off
And it´s a sad thing to say, but they know not to play with my dawg
Hundred plaques inside my proof vault
For when they try to say that we ain´t have to make a way

Made more funds, I had to buy more guns to make it through the day
Tell me that my baby mamas don´t deserve everything
Tell me that my brothers don´t need money after goin´ through all this pain
Slime say he ain´t a rapper and he ain´t trippin´, I say, "Nigga, get it"
I ain´t against you, thug, I´m with you, thug, if you ever need it, I´m comin´ with it
Had it hard when I was comin´ up and I know my mama proud I did it
High up in the sky, ain´t comin´ down, tell them all for to mind they business
Got put in a cycle, then I broke the mold
They don´t like me, better not try it, only thing the game give a black rose
How the fuck you always right and I´m always wrong?

How you feel? I gotta keep one tight, fight for your life or might not make it home
But I say my time now

My time came back ´round, and it´s right now
Know that they were thinkin´ that they want me for to lose
Know that they were pressin´, they was tryna find clues
I popped out, now I´m the news

Shoot dice for to pay my fifty-dollar phone bill
Every day, shot basketball with Toby, with JJ, I´d pop pills
My brother Three, he used to go to school, I was breakin´ up in houses stealin´
Back and forth to jail just like my cousin Derek, but that´s how we lived

Where I´m from, it´s either focus or get killed
In a lifetime, it be millions that ain´t make it out for real
I know niggas sold drugs when I was a child and they still
You ain´t gotta grow up fast, this shit ain´t leavin´, it´ll be here
This shit hurt so deep and bad, it make us all shed a tear

I gotta get me a bag, I´m talkin´ right now
Momma, I´m up on it, know they want me for to lose
They don´t really love me as bad as they talk, huh?
Hustle or don´t get it, I´m the one who had to choose

My time came back ´round, and it´s right now
Know that they were thinkin´ that they want me for to lose
Know that they were pressin´, they was tryna find clues
I popped out, now I´m the news

I´m the news now
Yeah, I, I knew that day in prison, they was tryna find clues on a nigga and all that other shit
Like, they, they, they playin´ them blues on me, they ain´t believe
Like, they ain´t really think nothin´ of this, you know, until we turned it into somethin´
Shit, we, we still carryin´ on
Yeah, and we still stayin´ strong
Forever
