[Verse 1] They say opposites attract, I don't believe in that sh** Cause I'm alive n***a, and I don't play with whackness Motherf** a mom, so how you love that b**h? b**h a hustler's habit, keep a couple in the mattress I'm smooth as I wanna be, cool as the summer breeze I don't f** with y'all so n***a move from in front of me Came from the gutter and I made it to the suburbs "Somebody call the doc, that's an ill motherf**er" My neighbors don't like me, well they can kiss my a** I'm watching for these snakes, I'm just here to cut my gra** How I don't belong? I pay bills and my tax They don't want me in this neighborhood, maybe because I'm black? Maybe because of rap people look at me like I should have some answers I'm just making sh** to make you jam, bruh Spirit of a panther, Huey in bodega boots Hit and open your eyes from all the sh** they telling you [Hook] Lord I've been here before I'm surprised that I made it this far I just want to be famous, a star I'm surrounded by haters galore I came back for the win You can tell 'em I'm back I came back for the win You can tell 'em I'm back I came back for the win Run and tell 'em I'm back I came back for the win Again, again [Verse 2] I came from the West Indies and went to Brooklyn My mommas must've heard that A Tree Grows in Brooklyn So when I touched down, I plant my seeds here in Brooklyn Now look at me, I grew and sprout leaves here in Brooklyn I swear I'm such a Crown Heights n***a though I moved to the West Told my brothers you gotta do what you do to get chicks When your Rep get bigger, then your head get bigger This ain't Schoolhouse Rock still you dismiss n***as Fell out with a couple homies, fell in with a couple b**hes Fell in and out of love, and I still don't know the difference My ex say I'm distant, she always think I'm trippin' Telling me being absent is the way I pay attention Got this little mission that I gotta carry on with Keep my mind right so I don't slip into the wrong sh** So somedays I gotta go phone-less I'll be damned if I ever go homeless again [Hook]
