Look at Me
J.A.C. Redford Lyrics

Lemme start from the top born in the city
I will begin at the beginning, revealing that I was born in the city.

Now these niggas acting fifty, think they out to get me
These people are acting older than they are and seem to have ill intentions towards me.

But my niggas wit me I don't need no fucking blicky
I have my friends with me, so I don't require a weapon for protection.

Get to acting up, then we getting busy
If these people become troublesome, we will retaliate with force.

Sending shots, man I'm always on the block
I am constantly present in my neighborhood and am willing to defend it with violence if necessary.

You can catch me outside, even when it's not hot
I am frequently outside regardless of the weather conditions.

I can put it on my soul
I attest to the truthfulness of what I'm about to say.

You will never get the drop
I will always be aware of any potential threats aimed towards me.

I'm just another rap nigga tryna reach the top
I am a rapper, like many others, trying to achieve success in the industry.

They just mad they can't get like me, uh
These people are angry that they cannot emulate my success.

Like me, you know I love the white tees
I enjoy wearing plain white t-shirts.

Ground level you can kiss my Nikes
I am not concerned with others' opinions of me and my fashion choices.

Niggas always stay mad steady tryna fight me
These people are always angry and looking for a physical altercation with me.

Primary Lotus a nigga like Rock Lee
Like the fictional character Rock Lee, I possess great skill and power.

Ain't no suicide, all my niggas too alive
We will not harm ourselves, as we value our own lives too much.

Ain't no way we switching sides
We will always stay loyal to our friends and allies.

And they down to ride
My friends and allies are willing and prepared to engage in violent actions if necessary.

Eyes open real wide
We are constantly vigilant and aware of our surroundings.

Come and look inside
Come see for yourself what we are really about.

I thought I quit but I'm back spitting shit
I had previously quit rapping, but now I'm back to creating new music.

Tryna make a dollar outta sixty nine cents
I am attempting to make a financial profit out of very little resources.

My mind kinda hanging in the past time
I am struggling with thoughts about the past and how things used to be.

No going back, man, I'm sticking to my timeline
I am moving forward and will not return to the past.

Things move on, people tend to change
Life moves forward and people often grow and evolve.

No matter what man nothing stayed the same
Nothing in life is permanent, everything changes eventually.

Gotta blast, hit the stash, uh
I need to leave quickly and retrieve my stash of goods.

Rewind then hit we the pad, yeah
I need to review some previous actions or events before returning to the studio to create more music.

Dig a grave cause I gotta couple Ms on the way
I am expecting to make a lot of money and will need to bury it somewhere for safekeeping.

SolReid said, "we gotta stop playing"
My friend SolReid advised us to stop fooling around or wasting time.

Hoes be craving we give 'em the boot
Women may be attracted to us, but we reject their advances.

No ice cream, yeah, they need us like a sweet tooth
Women desire us as much as they desire sweets.

My rhymes like glucose Aunt Jemima
My lyrics are sweet and pleasurable to listen to, like the syrup made by Aunt Jemima.

Stay making plays trading war stories with the gang
I frequently share stories of violent experiences with my group of friends.

Hold up, me and Preston holding down first place
My friend Preston and I are currently in a top position of success.

Gave ya bitch a lick, tell me how my dick taste
I performed a sexual act on someone's partner and am now taunting them about it.

Shit cut deep
The situation is emotionally painful or intense.

Up late night
I am awake and active during the late hours of the night.

Can't fall asleep
I am having difficulty with falling asleep despite being tired.

Locked in a dream
I feel trapped within my own thoughts or imagination.

Mind going crazy
My thoughts and emotions are overwhelming and hard to control.

I ain't write no shit in days
I have not written any new music or lyrics in several days.

Staying up late, tryna get my shit straight
I am staying awake late to sort out my thoughts or to focus on a particular task.

Work a lil' job putting food on the plate
I have a small job, but it helps me provide for myself and my loved ones.

Tired of the trap, yeah, I'm back up in the books
I am tired of living a lifestyle involving illegal or questionable activities, and have instead turned to academia or education.

Don't get it twisted ain't no half way crook
I am not a person who is only partially involved in criminal activities, but rather am fully committed to it.

Really bout mine, niggas always on the grind
I am serious about my business and work hard to achieve my goals.

Tryna get better each day that pass by
I am working to improve myself and my situation with each passing day.

We just do it, you know what we pursing
We are simply pursuing our goals and ambitions, and we are determined to succeed.
