C3 baby
I woulda never thought somebody would try and come kill me
Take me away from my family somebody was willing
These niggas hating
This is shit crazy
Now I'm go
Cuz I was too busy ducking I heard shots and got low
And I got hit 3 times and I ain't even know
That shit happen so fast I wasnt sure what happened
My arm was getting numb and then I saw blood on my jacket
I Got up out the hospital they said that I was cool
12 took my clothes and my jewelry, they took da glizzy too
No disrespect but that's my right I need my glizzy back
Cuz in this city you just can get caught without yo strap
5 shootings in a month
They all a mystery
Come on Akron it's suppose to be black history
Too many blacks
Tryna put other blacks out they misery.
And it's a fact all this gone lead to the devil to victory.
I had to pay out of my pocket
Cuz I aint have no insurance
Too many niggas claim they solid
Turned into informants
And I'm just speaking some real
A lot hate going round
Let's love each other Uplift yo brother don't bring em down
A small city wit potential but can't keep da peace
I'm speaking for da youth dats out here in dese streets
I speak on behalf of my whole family
Who woulda saw my face on a shirt dat said Rest In Peace
So much Trauma
They don't really wanna see you make it
They claim they love you

That's why You gotta watch yo back
Cuz they be snaking

You gone see when you be up and you be down
Cuz when you ain't got shit man they don't come around
Act like they happy when they see you getting bread

Big bro said he coming up I know he on some bullshit
Im praying for my enemies
Cuz look what you niggas started
My whole family savages and plus all my niggas heartless
And I don't even fuck wit nobody, how you gone want me dead
These niggas hate a young fly nigga about his bread
No matter who they is nobody wanna see you winning
They go through measures just to watch yo shit come to an ending.
Always have heart
Cuz anybody in this world cold a leave you in the dark
And niggas playing wit dat that iron man
No not tony start and they ah squeeze and leave you wit no air
Like Chris and jorden sparks

For having hella ambition then guilty is what I plead
Keep it real long as I breathe

So I just plan to ball
People see me as da underdog

Because when you have nothing, people tend to abandon you
Act like they happy when they see you getting bread
They pretend to be happy for you when they see you achieving financial success
Next thing you know somebody want you dead
However, before you know it, someone desires your demise
I left my toast up in da whip it

Similar to Tony Stark, they will activate and fire the weapon, depriving you of breath and life
Like Chris and jorden sparks
Just like Chris and Jordin Sparks, who sang 'No Air', they will leave you gasping for air
I gotta play it smart never follow always lead
I have to be strategic and intelligent, never following the crowd but instead taking the lead
For having hella ambition then guilty is what I plead
For possessing immense ambition, I am often judged and criticized
Keep it real long as I breathe
I will always stay true to myself as long as I am alive
Always stand tall
I will consistently uphold my principles and beliefs, never compromising
Never change like the color of the leaves In the fall
I will remain steadfast and unwavering, just like the leaves changing color during autumn
So I just plan to ball
Therefore, my intention is to succeed and excel
People see me as da underdog
People perceive me as someone who is underestimated and unlikely to win
I'm supplying pressure
I am exerting force and influence
This the year that this shit taking off
This year is the beginning of my rise to success
Y'all been sleeping on me
You all have been unaware of my abilities and potential
Keep on sleeping
Continue to underestimate me and remain ignorant
I'll be waking y'all
I will eventually prove you wrong and force you to become aware of my talents
My city love me
The people in my city genuinely care for me
But they want me dead Ima pray for y'all
However, despite their love, there are individuals who wish for my demise, but I still extend my prayers to them
Next thing you know somebody want you dead
Before you even realize it, there are individuals who desire your death
Next thing you know somebody want you dead
Before you even realize it, there are individuals who desire your death
Next thing you know somebody want you dead
Before you even realize it, there are individuals who desire your death
Next thing you know sombody want you dead
As time goes on, someone unexpected will express a desire for your demise
So much trauma
The amount of distress and emotional turmoil is overwhelming
