I ain't gon' lie, there's been some days where I don't have no pride
And I know me a couple people that ain't down to ride
And I know me a lot of people that'll lie to me, lied to me
I been talking to my uncle and he still ain't replied to me
Tell me what I'm supposed to do, I'm a youngin
Got a strong mentality because I came up from nothing
Was sitting in that shelter crying 'cause I knew I was something
But I just couldn't find nothing, 'til I picked that pen up
Hungry stomach was grumbling
Never got a hand out, 'cause that ain't what I was raised to be
Stayed in that basement writing 'til I knew I could chase a beat
Uncle told me if I wanna chase it, never think secondly
I've been giving all I got and they still ain't got the best of me
I got war in me
I stay at ten, never got four in me
Told my momma I won't stop until she got them foreign keys
I ain't worry 'bout nothing else 'cause this is my priority
These other rappers they beats to me, I call them minorities
I been going so hard that they cannot get bored with me
I done lost some people I love, so I keep the Lord with me
Then I get to pick and choose the people that's gon' soar with me
'Cause you can't go nowhere without no loyalty
If you ain't got no loyalty, then you ain't got nothing
Even when I ain't had nothing, I still had something
'Cause I knew I had a gift, and I had me a bad coming
Had it stuck in my head, I just knew that my dad coming
If you ain't got no loyalty, then you ain't got nothing
Even when I ain't had nothing, I still had something
'Cause I knew I had a gift, and I had me a bad coming
Had it stuck in my head, I just knew that my dad coming, yeah
When I get rich, I'm moving farther than the hills
Every time I write a song, it's like a story I gotta tell
'Cause I ain't doing well, my father locked in a cell
A lot of people can relate, so I know that they gotta feel it
Remember them days me, Trey and Frank was walking 'round the neighbourhood
'Cause we didn't have anything else to do with ourselves
Remember them days everything was perfect, arguments wasn't worth it
Now my family going back down the hill
I feel like stuff be going left from right to side to side
Got some people that's tryna work with me, I might decide
'Cause there's ones that's been in my past to me, they really lied
And I'm somebody you won't get, so you gon' meet a god
They say that pressure coming, but I said it's been the plot
I'm feeling weak 'cause I got people I love in the sky
They say it's time to eat, so yeah, I say it's dinner time
They be like "Noonie, it's your time," I say it's been a time
Yeah, I got bars forever, I gotta make it, ain't no stars forever
I got people that's waiting on me, they depending on better
Plus I'm depending on myself, tryna make it all better
My whole life like a brick on my chest, it ain't nothing like feathers
First my granny died, and then my aunty Maven died
And then my uncle died, I know my mama traumatised
I see it in her eyes, she tryna beat the odds
My family tryna beat the cross, but they can't beat the cross
If you ain't got no loyalty, then you ain't got nothing
Even when I ain't had nothing, I still had something
'Cause I knew I had a gift, and I had me a bad coming
Had it stuck in my head, I just knew that my dad coming
If you ain't got no loyalty, then you ain't got nothing
Even when I ain't had nothing, I still had something
'Cause I knew I had a gift, and I had me a bad coming
Had it stuck in my head, I just knew that my dad coming, yeah
