Like hold up hold up
if you smokin then roll up roll up
dont you let em start killin your vibe
got the drink by your side
you can pour up pour up
Look at the flick of the wrist started ripping this shit
Now my pocket got knots like a cyst
Scoring all day like I'm Kobe
I'm balling on niggas while haters get blocked No assist
No more knockin da shit
word to me niggas who heard of me
Know that I merge the words
The verbs I'm on the verge to purge
I'll make this a murder scene
This an emergency
Since I've emerged
They been praying I'm over seen
whoa!!
better stop that
aint a good look when i clock back
get you caught in the moment
and make you relive it like niggas was pushin ya clock back
thats a block fact
E 17th and church avenue where niggas rocked at
all that fly shit, we would cop that
then flip it for double the profit
went from chillin at prospect
to a hollywood prospect
now im killin the game man i swear im a godsend
well at least thats wut god said
Amen

Hands up
We focused on gettin them bands up
We yellin don't shoot
While they yellin stand down
But together they know we could stand up
Hallelujah!!
Niggas hustle to strengthen their muscle
Fuck the hand I was dealt, rather just shuffle
Y'all hit the clubs poppin bottles of spades
For them hearts on the gram while my diamonds just double
Different game...nigga different cards
Different suits...cut from different cloth
While I'm in this booth, spitting truth, got the juice
Chuck the duece, man I never lost
See my struggles a lesson, I bounce back
Now all of these blessings, I count that
Cuz they counted me out cuz they couldn't account
For progression I'm making I'm on track!
Never goin back
Now I'm gon black
Till I see my name up on them wall plaques
First I'm going going goin goin gold
Then I'll flip it and then imma go plat
Wutchu call that
A clip that's reloaded and ready
I'm gon clap
got my mother, brother, sister, niece n nephew, and my city believe me
on my back
thats why I rap
for the love of the music and no mount of money could stop it
cuz when you moving that dope in these streets
niggas know that the purer the better the product
no more time to be slept on
all that shit u buy...stepped on
now they hands up!
high in the sky
screaming hallelujah!
put the best on!
