They say each one teach one

The streets we fought to find a release from

It′s a war outside that we been tryna win peace fromIt's money out here, you know I′m tryna get me some

Pop the chain up on the cycle, I'ma ride for my freedom

Yeah, check

Yo, yo

It's Con the young revolver, I set it off like Cleo

We got ′em hyped like the adrenal gland

My mind expands, then what come from my hand′ll get lethal (uh-huh)

Like a death sentence, injection with needle

See, this is real, I got no plans to deceive you, hold up

Look, lately, I've been on the money chase

I paid my man lawyer, he caught another case

I just won another race

Ain′t no more room on my mantel for no trophy shit, I'm runnin′ out of fuckin' space

It be the opps or your own people that will plan and deplete you (facts)

Of your energy when you on top

It sucks when you Tom Brady and you go and let an Eli Manning defeat you

See, this is real, I don′t plan to deceive you, hold up

Look, see, I just want a Wraith

Ain't no landlord 'cause I own the fuckin′ place

Hip-hop is my house and I put locks up on the fuckin′ gates (facts)

I heard life was a gamble, every day you up the stake

Either you gon' give or you gon′ fuckin' take (what you gon′ do, homie?)

Stay resilient, can't be lettin′ battles defeat you

Out of situations that left you even sicker than the man with the measles

It's lessons in everything, long as you lettin' ′em teach you (facts)

See, this is real, I don′t plan to deceive you, hold up

Nigga, I don't take no fuckin′ breaks

Kick my shit in overdrive and I don't plan to touch the brake

You gotta be willing to do what it take (talk to ′em)

I'm just tryna fill up another safe

Make sure my two sons and my mother straight

I had plans on becomin′ great

To make sure that everyone that's up inside of my circumference ate

My father died young, I wanna see my mother live to touch one hundred and eight

They always told me love would come with some hate

And yes, I've seen some, but the love overpowers it

I′ve seen so many things that made me cry, but still, I′m smilin'

My daughter bright as dawn, I wanna drape her in some diamonds

It′s all possible right through the power of my writin' pen

It′s like that

And I'm still a product of my environment

WIC cereal was Corn Chex or King Vitamins

I grew to be the man that would inspire men (that′s a fact)

Kicked open the door and shed light on them

The only thing I hate more than jealousy is entitlement (what you mean?)

'Cause if it wasn't for me, nobody checkin′ for you niggas now

Go ′head, get on them beats and tell your lies again (hahaha)

Just thank me later, nigga

Yeah

They say each one teach one

The streets we fought to find a release from

It's a war outside that we been tryna win peace from

It′s money out here, you know I'm tryna get me some

Pop the chain up on the cycle, I′ma ride for my freedom

Yeah, I'ma ride (I′ma ride), yeah, I'ma ride (I'ma ride), yeah

I′ma ride, I′ma ride for my freedom

I'ma ride (I′ma ride), yeah, I'ma ride (I′ma ride), yeah

I'ma ride, I′ma ride for my freedom
