I & I
The Jacka Lyrics

You ran your mouth so much that they ain't fuck with you, nigga
You talked too much and it made people not want to associate with you

'Bout to knock you off, they had enough of you, nigga
People were close to killing you because they had enough of you

So I stepped up, I was tough for you, nigga
I defended you and acted as a tough person on your behalf

But when you came up you did nothing for niggas
However, when you became successful, you did not help out others in your community

So I was forced to sell coke for a comfortable living
As a result, I had to sell drugs to make a comfortable living

Young sport, mom's porch, did nothing but killing
I was a young person who spent most of my time on my mother's porch, involved in nothing but violence

Pops had a few bands I thought that shit was a million
My dad had a few thousand dollars and I thought it was a million

Now I'm 20 thousand fans at the Concord Pavilion
Now I have twenty thousand fans and have performed at the Concord Pavilion

Damn, started sniffin' white, lean make you sleep your life away
I started using cocaine and lean, which can make you waste your life sleeping

Hunnid bands from a thousand grams in a microwave
I made one hundred thousand dollars from cooking one thousand grams of drugs in a microwave

Niggas taking pictures with they Canons, but who life you save?
People take pictures with their cameras, but who are they actually helping or saving?

Led in to the night shootin' dice in my Michael J's
I spent nights shooting dice while wearing my Michael Jordan sneakers

My AR made the same sound motorcycles make
The sound of my AR gun was similar to the sound of a motorcycle

Remember stay far 'cause they link with our enemies
Remember to stay away from those who associate with our enemies

They don't deserve the czar, but I give 'em tar anyways
They do not deserve the high-quality drugs, but I still sell to them

Band for a brick, sipping barre with the friends I've made
I exchange a band of money for a brick of drugs and enjoy sipping on codeine with my friends

Teenagers out there moving hard, but their rent is payed
Young people are selling drugs and making money, but only to pay their expenses

Rich niggas use our murder game, I'm a renegade
Wealthy people use our violent lifestyle for entertainment, but I rebel against it

Bitch niggas standin' on the stage don't deserve the fame
People who are not real and act like women do not deserve to be famous

I kill a nigga give me 30 grand and show me where to aim
I am willing to murder someone for thirty thousand dollars if given the directions

European switchin' lanes, promise shit ain't been the same
I see Europeans driving by and it makes me realize that my life has changed

They lock us all up in a cage, we lockin' up with niggas gangs
Authorities put us in jail where we are surrounded by gangs

Never go against the grain, it's Wocky in my lemonade
I never go against what is considered normal, and add cough syrup to my lemonade

Momma kicked me out, 'cause I ain't wash the dishes when she say
My mother kicked me out of the house because I did not do the dishes when she asked me to

It's days that I forget to pray, "damn, I miss my nigga, blood"
There are days when I forget to pray and it makes me realize how much I miss my friend who passed away

The shit I didn't get to say, show you how much you was loved
The things I did not get to say to my friend indicate how much I loved him

It's nothin' I wouldn't do for bruh, who you slide or shoot for bruh?
There is nothing I would not do for my friend, even if it means getting revenge for him

We done did a few for bruh, you wasn't even bool wit bruh
We have committed a few crimes on behalf of my friend, and you were not even close to him

You wasn't there to hoop it up, killers used to scoop me up
You were not there to play basketball, but the killers in the community would pick me up

Ask me how grades was then take me to cop some newki one's
They would ask me how school was, then take me to buy new sneakers

It's mainey how you turned rat, we already knew you was
It is crazy how you became a snitch, but we already suspected you

Knocked a bitch on IG and sent her, that's computer love
You hit someone on Instagram and sent her, which shows how fake and online your relationships are

Gotta show my shooters love, gotta thank the dude above
I have to show my shooters love and be grateful to God for all the blessings in my life

They drug my name through the mud, then asked for me to shoot 'em dub
People talked badly about me, but then asked me to shoot a music video for them

Rootin for us in the slums, I knew that this is what I'd become
Despite growing up in poverty, I knew that I would become a respected figure in my community

Put all of my ahkis on and now they stones rockied up
I put all my friends on and now they have a lot of money and are wearing expensive jewelry

I don't think I'm Pac or nothin', Thug Life embedded in me
Although I do not think I am like Tupac, a violent lifestyle is a part of me

I believe in karma, pray to God the suckas never get me
I believe in karma and hope that my enemies never harm me

Touched my first 50, went and gave my momma 35
After making my first fifty thousand dollars, I gave my mother thirty-five thousand

She was finna put up 60, told her I deserve the time
She was going to put sixty thousand dollars away, but I told her that I deserved the money

Took a seat in church, my family told me, it don't hurt to try
I went to church and my family encouraged me to try and be a better person

It's therapeutic for you baby, it don't hurt to cry
Crying is therapeutic for you, it does not hurt to let your emotions out

I had to work for mines, mingle in the dirt and grind
I had to work hard and struggle to make money

I overcame my obstacles and struggles, I deserve to shine
Despite all the hardships I faced, I overcame them and now deserve to enjoy success
