[Intro: Brick City]
[Verse 1]
Another day another dollar nother bill coming
To alleviate some of this pain my n***as pill crushing
Credit card debt putting life uphill cuzzin
Been lost the cops a couple blocks but see we still running
Give me the torch cuz we doing the same things the big homies did
When I was young had pop guns with that rubber grip
But all my life I heard they did it so we wouldn't do it
But still we in this same cycle making them look stupid
Now how you figure so they journey was traveled vain
Seeing they kids follow they steps got em feeling that pain
All because a hood block flag gang rep
I know it make you feel like you part of same set
But, if them yo brothers they wouldn't be in no mindset
To put your life in danger all cuz of some fake street cred
That life we living lead to d**h or in jail
Every day we a step closer either heaven or hell
Just a rookie but swear my book read like a veteran tale
And I'll die before I let my n***as front of me fail
Take a minute and reflect
If you still breathing then you winning and you blessed
I know it's true we all some sinners like the rest
But when this pin is on my chest
And from the pen I get a text
I'm just questioning who's next
God damn, I sit back and reminisce on the fam
It won't never be the same and that's keepin it hunnid grand
Oh well, I'm still doing it for y'all tho
Won't ever catch me slipping, I'm in the cut like Waldo
I heard every expectation and flew above all those
Breaking in the window should Y'all ever see my door close
I'm never stopping, don't care if my music ain't never popping
Give me the ball and I swear to God I won't never drop it
I just hope that this song gets to sparking some different topics
When you grow and tell yo n***as to choose some better options
That's all I ask bro, our people better than this
I'll write the opening statement just help the lettering fit
I know y'all idolize money and nothing wrong, ain't a hater
But n***as losing they lives all for some pieces of paper
It's a shame really
If you say otherwise then we ain't the same really
I lost my mind a while ago but know the sane feel me
Because I hear it everyday
Big homies wish they was here in my place
n***a I'm just here to say, ain't telling you to be no punk my n***a stand yo ground
But do yo own, don't be afraid to go against the crowd
Wanted to win and all the older homies showed me how
I just hope some of my lil n***as really hear me out
