CTE
The Aphilliates
(gangsta grillz
Yall niggas didn't believe us
We had a goal in mind
Set the streets on fire
I think we accomplished that
Here I stand
A grown ass man
All by myself
A grown ass man
A young nigga with some grown ass plans
But don't point fingers
You don't know that man
You don't know his heart
You don't know his pain
You ain't lookin through that scope
You don't know his aim
Minus all the videos, stickers, and flyers
Most if these rappers are compulsive liers
We make quality street music
Something you can ride to
I don't care what you represent
Verse 2 - Young Jeezy
Tell me what kind of nigga tells lies to himself
Them turns around and tell them same lies to his fans
niggas in fantasy land
I came to wake you niggas up
This shit ain't adding up
You ain't what you're seeming
You niggas out of order like soda machines
And jeezy keep the cola like soda machines
You ain't never seen them pies
I'm talking so much white it'll hurt your eyes
I really lived it man
Counting so much paper it'll hurt your hands
From the trunks of the rental to the
The same old shit, an adrenalin rush
I tried to tell them people that the streets was watching
Same time be safe cuz them people is watching
Two hundred thousand mixtapes later
From the streets of the 'Chat
To the hoods of Decatur
Same young nigga made a killing with the snow
Turned right around and made a killing with the flow
The whole city at my shows
I guess they like the way that I recite them birds
Probably go to jail for some of the shit I said
Realest nigga ever done it
Radio still won't play me
But I don't give a fuck
Cuz the streets done made me
Said I was affiliated with all the gangstas and killers
Fuck you thought I was gonna do
Turn my back on my niggas?
Now I can't slow down
Thats too close to stopping
Got everybody asking when the album drop
The hottest nigga in the city with no radio play
When 'Let's Get It' drop
We'll see what you niggas will say

niggas in fantasy land
Some rappers create a facade or live in an unrealistic world

I was able to make a successful career in rap music after drug dealing
The whole city at my shows
I have a strong following in my hometown

Probably go to jail for some of the shit I said
I could potentially get in trouble for some of the things I've rapped about
Realest nigga ever done it
I am one of the most authentic and sincere rappers
Radio still won't play me
Mainstream radio refuses to play my music
But I don't give a fuck
Despite this, I remain confident and undaunted
Cuz the streets done made me
I am who I am because of my experiences and upbringing in the streets
Said I was affiliated with all the gangstas and killers
People assume I am connected to dangerous people because of my music
Fuck you thought I was gonna do
What did you expect?
Turn my back on my niggas?
Abandon the people I have a connection with?
Now I can't slow down
I can't stop making music
Thats too close to stopping
Slowing down would be too risky for my career
Got everybody asking when the album drop
Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of my album
The hottest nigga in the city with no radio play
I am successful in my city despite not being on the radio
When 'Let's Get It' drop
When my album is released
We'll see what you niggas will say
Everyone will see the impact I make once my album is released
