[Verse One: Paypa]
Look, I went from monster balling to losing Isaiah
We weathered the storm, I think FEMA should pay us
This ain’t no fucking hobby, don’t see no fucking hollies
I’m just throwing the truth, shit, I could pass a poly
Let’s take it back to the, to my grandmother’s basement
Try to make a hit ‘cause moving base was basic
Too Too taught me the bagga, now I got my swagger
Trying to stunt for Quila and fuck my whole stash up
Hustling ain’t me and shit, that’s hard to see
‘Cause when you feeling trapped, education is key
When the block is your teacher, Larry Hoover your preacher
Trying to get you a Pelle Pelle to go with your sneakers
This can’t be life, lord show me another way, Biggie can’t be right
You either slang crack, rap or got a wicked jumpshot
In the streets where its Novak scenes, just gunshots huh
[Hook]
Lord, grant the serenity, I promise I’ll kill it from now to infinity
Stunting on my enemies, fuck where I came from
Look at where I’m finna be, where I’m finna be
[Verse Two: Emilio Rojas]
The murder rate as high as them fiends is
And the homes we growing up in, yeah they broke as our dreams is
Even dope boys ain’t rolling around in no Beamers
My guy done pushed white for eight years and still he hope for that V6
He walking out the front door and looking both ways
Bullets barking at him like dogs, he hope for no strays
All we want is insurance with lower co-pays
So ma can buy some new clothes she could sport at a work place
I seen her wear the same sneakers for three summers
Too worried about buying food to just sit down and eat with us
Police come and they fuck what you becoming
And innocents flee, running like they finna beat something
We see judges as nothing but a formality
You grown, you go to jail, if you young, they pull you from family
And then they put you into foster care, only hate is fostered there
But that shit’s our cross to bear, yeah
[Hook]
[Verse Three: Nick D’s]
They say my mission was impossible
I’m scaling up the wall which means I’m breaking through the glass
When I’m tapping on your jaw, I’m boxing ‘cause I got no other options
Like a warehouse worker, say my name, go ahead, wear it out further
You see I’m trying to get my granny rich
Pay her back for all them ham sandywiches that she made
When I was famishing, they tried to facemask me
But I still ran it in, long story short, man I rip ‘em like Hamilton
I usher in a new era, can you handle it?
My manuscripts the only reason your girl’s panties wet
I fuck her ‘fore I head out the door then I’m beating down the block
Like Lew Al-Kan-Dor, I know it’s Alcindor but the way I pronounce
And deliver only gon’ result in me making profound figures
And never assume I’m down with ya
Unless we toast off the table ‘fore we down liquor, coalition
[Hook]
[Verse Four: Paypa]
Look at where I’m finna be ‘cause I grind endlessly
Made it from the bottom, it’s the Coalition Embassy
Hoes had the tendency to overlook me
Now they throw the Vol up, Tennessee, listening to Hennessy
Bitch, I came from Burnstuy, went to school in Murdervalle
Ho, my name is Paypa, if you suck me, it’ll be worth your while
I done had a million jobs, told you I was working wild
You was bullshitting, I was listening and working wild
Untamed nigga, you a lame nigga, kill your own brother
How you glorify Cain nigga? We put ourselves in the game nigga
Even if it came from ‘caine, excuse my hypocritical ways
We was really grinding hard, fucking bitches, buying cars
Diamonds, we was shining hard, I wish you coulda seen my niggas
Now I’m popping bottles, yelling free my niggas, hold on
