Ain't no way in hell imma see my team fall
Only know one thing go hard stunt then I ball
I ain′t gone stop til my momma got it all
Ain't no way in hell imma see my grandma broke
Aint no way imma rap and sell coke
Aint no way in hell I ain't gone always keep it real
A nigga sellin soap just to get a record deal

All these niggas killin where the fuck the bodies at?
All these drug dealers where the fuck them bidens at?
This to my momma Debbie hold it up mom I'm ready
I get stupid cake you can call me Lil Debbie
Grandma I ain′t gone stop til the Lord come and get me
So much pain in me I use the mike to pour it out
I kidnapped drugs just to fly the fuck away
Maybe one day imma be in a better place
That's like sayin a black man ain′t gone catch another case
I been through so much shit I just wish it could erase WAKA FLOCKA!
