Numbers
Half-A-Mil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since the beginning of my story
I remember days I ain't feel important
I was going through a phase now I'm riding in a foreign
All my hoes and my cars and my weed imported
From a place where you loyal you gon get rewarded
Pussy ass niggas gon get extorted
Told em I would make it but they tried to ignore it
Shooting for the stars now I'm finally scoring
Came from the bottom no this shit wasn't easy
Woulda never came back but my people they need me
Turn a blind eye wonder why like Stevie
These niggas real slime and these bitches real sneaky
Fucking off the X, shorty getting real freaky
Gave her good dick now she saying she need me
See the VVS, shorty wet like Fiji
Looking for the boss then you could come see me
Talking to a nigga that's really 'bout action
Ain't about the money, man this shit my passion
Focused on myself went and made it happen
Came a long way from them days in Aspen
Jaded Worldwide on me that's fashion
Faking back then now the money attracting
Actin' like you bout it, lil nigga you capping
Nei passed away man that shit was tragic
Without him, I had no hope
My family hurt this shit no joke
Too much fake love my heart been broke
Can't stop now that I'm so close
Got one foot in the door, Amen
Can't go back no not again
I know they hate to see me win so I'm just finna go win again
Know they thought I was over
Bitch you know I been a soldier
GI Joe, got sticks like cobra
Face card art, I call her Mona
Sweet brown skin body lookin like mocha
Rocks in my ears and they heavy like boulders
Weight of the world sitting on my shoulders
Ima keep going and going and going
For all of my people, you know I can't stop
Ima keep going and going and going
You know I can't stop til I reach to the top
Ima big stepper, got sand in my feet
And I dive in that water like I'm on a beach
I Just jumped in the game like my name Dominique
Without my Lil Baby, I feel incomplete

I can't keep living like this
Even though you no good, I can't seem to resist
I'm scared if I let you go I may cease to exist
But if I don't let you go, then my peace is at risk
Close the door, can't let nobody get in
And all I really wanna know is you gon ride 'til the end
I go to war with my brothas




We gotta stick with each other
If they stay down then we go up then we gon get to them numbers
