[Intro]
Yeah, ok
Yeah
Imagine if I never would've took a risk
(King Nathan with another one)
[Chorus]
Imagine if I never would've took a risk
These ni**as wouldn't ride with me and my brother ain't have a pot to piss
I won't never see my ni**as again, I gotta reminisce
No weapon formed against me shall prosper, I swear, I hope they miss
Why it gotta be like that?
Neighborhood poet, they say they need that crack
Lil' Steve gone, I can't never get my ni**a back
Nobody to vent to, I put my feelings in these tracks
Came a long way from the bottom, why I gotta stunt, look where we at
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I know they never thought the kid was gon' make it big
Had to tell myself, "Go a lil' harder," and I did
Matt, that my brother, we been thuggin' since we were kids
Couple ni**as changed, sh*t, I ain't trippin', that what it is
And that money comin' fast, yeah, I hope Ion't blow it
Them young ni**as'll go crazy 'bout the kid, you better know it
fu*k I look like? He savin' me a who*e, I'm not heroic
Stop all that flaggin', when them lil' ni**as slide, you better blow it
Groupie hoes all on my dick, that's what the riches do
New ni**as, they gon' hate, they wanna be rich as you
Watch these ni**as shine when I was down and I wasn't dissin' you
I jump out, a brand new glizzy, play, I put him on the news
Yeah, everything changin', switched the location
This lifestyle amazing, Shallow Side baby
If we ain't talkin' 'bout no money, can't have no conversation
Really from the projects, I can't imagine what we makin'
I ain't never give up on my dreams, I was chasin'
Young ni**a, you gon' blow but you just gotta remain patient
I can't believe they really let me shine, I was waitin'
I can't believe they really let me shine, I was waitin'
They ain't really wanna see me win, they were fakin'
Tried to tell them people I'm a legend in the makin'
They sayin' I'm the hottest, it ain't up for no debatin'
I'm glad we got away with all them chances we were takin'
[Chorus]
Imagine if I never would've took a risk
These ni**as wouldn't ride with me and my brother ain't have a pot to piss
I won't never see my ni**as again, I gotta reminisce
No weapon formed against me shall prosper, I swear, I hope they miss
Why it gotta be like that?
Neighborhood poet, they say they need that crack
Lil' Steve gone, I can't never get my ni**a back
Nobody to vent to, I put my feelings in these tracks
Came a long way from the bottom, why I gotta stunt, look where we at
[Verse 2]
Ion't really need to be stressin'
At this point in life, God, all I need is Your blessings
No, you ain't meant for me and fear my mind, I'm second-guessin'
Know that you gon' be right by my side when I'm steppin'
Never had no one to vent to, baby, I need you to listen
I done lost a couple ni**as, gotta stop by and pay a visit
Even when I get that Wraith, I can't forget about that Civic
Gotta stay down on ten toes, I can't be out here tryna appeal it
Can't be rappin' 'bout no lifestyle but the one that I'm livin'
fu*k the people that did me wrong, when I get on, don't act no different
Used to try to sing all my raps to you and you ain't wanna listen
Now you askin' me when the tape gon' drop and I ain't even trippin'
I gotta move on, leave you behind just 'cause you ain't believe the vision
Oh, yeah, I gotta move on, oh, yeah
I gotta move on, oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Imagine if I never would've took a risk
These ni**as wouldn't ride with me and my brother ain't have a pot to piss
I won't never see my ni**as again, I gotta reminisce
No weapon formed against me shall prosper, I swear, I hope they miss
Why it gotta be like that?
Neighborhood poet, they say they need that crack
Lil' Steve gone, I can't never get my ni**a back
Nobody to vent to, I put my feelings in these tracks
Came a long way from the bottom, why I gotta stunt, look where we at
[Outro]
Ayy, I got No Limit in this b*tch with me
Yeah, oh
They say, oh, oh
Oh, they say, oh, oh
Neighborhood poet, they say they need that crack
Oh, they say, they say, oh, oh
Neighborhood poet, they say they need that crack
They say, oh, oh
They say they need that crack
They say they need that crack
They say they need that
