[Intro]
I'm a livin' little good thing
It's like you never lived for me, yeah
Mama said you was a good thing, uh
Good, good, good, yeah
Yeah
We came a long way, man, we done came a long way
And we sittin' on top of this sh*t
This sh*t can go one or two ways
This sh*t can go up, it can go down
Either way, ni**a, I'm prepared
Feel me? Yeah
[Verse]
I be comin' in peace, but fu*k me
Best beware of the others
This sh*t deep, undercovers creep
This Southern heat make unbearable summers
Just last week, seen yo' mama weep
Crying 'cause she don't wan' bury your brother
The blood lеaks while the EMTs gotta carry her baby likе surrogate mothers
Woah, thank God we survived around where the terrorists hovered
Though traumatized, wouldn't trade it for nothin'
Through hard times, it was there I discovered a hustle and makin' the best out the struggle
I kept grindin' 'til this day, up a level
Respect mine, gotta stay out of trouble
'Cause TEC-9s like to air out rebu*tals
Cole World, ni**as knowin' what it is
Just in case they don't, I show 'em what it is
Then summer, I do real numbers
Couldn't dare touch it if they sold the double disc
Block hot, ni**as burnin' up the street
Shots poppin' and we heard it up the street
It's a war, ni**as runnin' up the score
Jesus said that you should turn the other cheek
Voiceless ni**as gettin' murdered every week
Dead bodies, smell the odor in the street
My homie' homie got out on parole
He sold more Coca-Cola than the soda industry
Summertime bring the coldest winter breeze
Hella blues like the Rollin' 60's
Christ went to Heaven aged thirty-three
And so did Pimp C and so did Nipsey
[Outro]
I told you, I told you
This sh*t can go up, it can go down, I don't give a fu*k
ni**a, I done seen the highest heights
I done seen it twice
And I've seen the lowest of the lows
And still I rose
Now I'm at your neck, ni**a, yeah
