I remember where it all started
I recall the beginning of my journey

Had the AR with the long cartridge
I carried a rifle with an extended magazine

I still eat the lamb over rice
I maintain my cultural traditions

I became the man overnight (No cap)
I suddenly became successful and respected (without exaggeration)

Police pulled my Lam over twice
The authorities stopped my Lamborghini on two occasions

They see it's me they tell Me, "You the man, sir goodnight" (Goodnight, sir)
Once they realize it's me, they praise me and let me go

Put on for my city where the love at Show these niggas love won't Get no love back Put niggas in position helped them Get they buzz back (I did)
I represent my city, but there's no mutual respect I helped others succeed, but they didn't reciprocate

I was just in Cali sent a dub pack (I sent a dub nigga) Got in this rap shit I brought the love back I mean you niggas oughtta love that (You gotta love it)
Recently, I was in California and sent someone money for drugs Since I started rapping, I revived an old-school style of rap, and people should appreciate it

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo grrr doo doo doo doo You gotta love it
This is a catchy hook that emphasizes the need for love and respect

Look, forty pointers, those the big stones (You see it bitch) We been gettin money my name been known (Hah) Home with the goons we break in homes We the type to cut off Fingers and break shin bones (Ha ha ha)
I own diamond jewelry with 40-carat gems I'm wealthy and famous I hang out with dangerous people and commit crimes We are ruthless and violent to our enemies

Dior Jordan 1 like I'm Kim Jones (Cap) Still hit a nigga body with mac 10 chrome (Brrr) Even though I got this Burberry trench on (Ah ha) i come from the trenches Most my friends gone (Facts)
I wear expensive designer clothes but still carry a lethal gun Despite my luxurious outfit, I grew up in poverty and lost many friends

Somebody getting shot tonight I feel It in the air (I feel it) Its like my city covered with That feeling of despair (Tss) Nobody feel like they gon make it They don't really care
I sense imminent violence tonight and pessimism in this area Many people doubt their success and have given up hope

I was just on Daringer couch Now I'm a millionaire I hope you use my life to be inspired by I almost gave up too, I put my pride aside
I used to hang out at my friend's house, but now I'm rich My story should motivate you, and I almost quit before I became successful

Niggas shot me I bounced back, I ain't die Put my city on the map and I brought that feeling back You gotta love it
Someone attempted to kill me, but I survived I popularized my hometown's culture and brought a sense of pride back Therefore, people should show appreciation

IIImmaculate rhyme (Megan Ryte) I was in my cell I Clicked my heels three times Watching the world from up top Snakeskin binoculars
This is a creative way to describe my musical talent, which I developed in prison I feel like I'm now observing the world from a higher perspective And my binoculars have an exotic design

I mean look what I became nigga God don't make mistakes One thing about it not everybody gon keep it As real as you gon keep it, nigga You out yo mutherfuckin mind If you expect that I was just telling my peoples When I die it's prolly Gonna be by one of my so called homeboys Even if they ain't the trigger man They prolly put the bag up She was like, "don't say shit like that Don't say that" I'm just being real, my nigga
I'm proud of my achievements despite humble beginnings I believe in divine destiny Not everyone will be honest like me, so don't have unrealistic expectations I was discussing with a friend how I might die, and it could be caused by someone I trust who paid someone else to do it (indirectly) She didn't want me to say things like that because it's scary, but I'm just being honest
