[Verse 1]
Me bein the chosen one was like a blessing in inception
A city known for h*mocide, majority depression
Grindin in the gym so I can live through the recession
Real goons show me love cuz they can feel how one connected
Backround of a street dude, mind of a scholar
Just to pop our column man, we climbin' for the dollar
I mean it when I say it bro, we started from the bottom
Childhood, friends droppin' like leaves and it's autumn
Don't believe time is money. Money is time
When you focused, man, you look up and your money is fine
I'm from the city where your friend would put a gun in your mind
Cuz you eatin' and they envy all that glory and shine
I swear to god it gets realler. A city full of k**ers
Addicts walkin round lookin' like the zombies off of Thriller
It's sick and gettin' iller. That's why my skin thicker
Now you see why brother wanna get away, grab a Snicker
My mission took me to college where I picked up the knowledge
And I tried to stay away from violence inside, escape the virus
Dividing my folks retirement, but I rised from that environment
In my life it was perfect timing, and my drive blew me up, atomic
Sick of these s**ers all in my bubble, though
Critiquing me on stuff I had to struggle for
This dream has been a long time coming
And my clock was Forest Gump, it spent a long time running
Jungle
