[Intro: Starringo]
Against the grain baby
Oh, it's on now
It's on now
Ringo…Ringo
They say sleep for the rich Ima' take it in
Because I have riches in heaven that I don't never spend
Legal hustle go and get it I can not pretend
And I'm still up late night David Letterman
[verse 1: Starringo]
Uh Oh
Tweaking yo, all these people tweaking yo!
They popped a molly out they body, probably hit the floor
Drunk in the party off attention about to overdose
I'm in the studio my flow done got the Holy Ghost
They say he was just trapping out the studio
Dropping verses taking shots Don Julio
I guess I had to make a choice at a crucial time
The game calling I got Jesus on the other line
I wonder what he thinking
You got a deal up in your hand, You gon' take it?
I don't know but I know I want to make it
Sold out gave my life to the only One that can take it
They say I'm different
That's because I be myself
I'm glad nobody says
That I remind them of someone else
I keep it real I don't talk much but got a lot to say
No delay I make it happen
Y'all bucking Tampa Bay
Where he at? Who the big shot?
Tell Goliath I'm like David with that sling shot
Take the game then tie it in a French knot
Burn the city down, Lord I just want to save Lot
Young boys in the hood with them thangs co*ked
I trust GOD Ben Wallace can't block shots
We them ones in the hood when the block hot
No body shots
When they shoot they aim at the top
And them my brothers I'm just trying to get them off the block
And show them it's another way to make it to the top
All we was taught was basketball and how to sale rocks
I understand clearly
I'm the vision in that blind spot
I ball
Demostration
I will try my best Michael Jordan imitation
We living in the last days this is Revelation
David I got the vision all I need is confirmation
[Verse 2: Starringo]
Small city, big dreams
I got money in the bank and in my small jeans
I don't care about what they thinking because we all clean
Rap professional, exclusive like a ball team
We was home alone
Wasn't nobody there
Me my brother with no mother we was not aware
If the k**ers would've got us
They would've shout us there
And if it came to it
Probably caught a body there
Praise Jesus, k**ers into believers
Watch out for your Delilah for dollars they'll deceive you
If you ain't got no money it's likely that she'll leave you
For the love of money is the root of all evil
I'm in all white
All white
Shine like a light
They mad when I got a car I use to ride a bike
They label me one of the best
You believe the hype?
Cold bars give me brain freeze like I'm eating ice
I gave my life to Christ
Only God can quench the thirst
In this life we need help
That's why we go to church
But when you get in there and see that people acting
Like they did up in the streets
On everything it only makes it worst
That's why we put our trust in God and look over man
I know a lot of stuff is hard for you to comprehend
But when you look up in that book
You'll understand
Money make money
It don't make you a man
This for Steve, This for Mark
This for D-Mac, This for Drew
This for D-Way, and Pat
This for DJ, Bam, and Chino
They got my back riding like an El Camino
Young boy in the hood with a clear view
Where I'm from you cross the ditch
You're in Parkview
Probably the roughest neighborhood that's up in the city
I lay my head there
God told me, stay committed
Don't do it for the fame
I just want to make a change
‘Cause these days they doing anything for some change
I'm like no other trying to get my brothers out the game
Show them they can make it
It's basic compared to selling ‘caine
(Yeah)
I'm like no other trying to get my brothers out the game
Show them they can make it
It's basic compared to selling ‘caine
