| I used to live up in the projects, in a duplex
 | 
| Even a shotgun shack
 | 
| And man I’m never goin' back
 | 
| I used to be out on the block late night
 | 
| Dark alleys with a pocket full of crack
 | 
| And man I’m never goin' back
 | 
| I had friends turned to foes, hid behind closed doors
 | 
| Plottin' on me for my stacks
 | 
| And man I’m never goin' back
 | 
| 'Cause I’ve never been as blessed as I am right now
 | 
| And that’s a mothafuckin' fact
 | 
| So I’m never goin' back
 | 
| I lived more in one life than your whole family tree
 | 
| Now I’m ready to be the man that life demands me to be
 | 
| I’m down to take the wheel and drive so go on and hand me the key
 | 
| And when it’s done everyone gon' really understand he’s a G
 | 
| I’m never bitin' off more than I can chew
 | 
| And I tolerate you suckas even if I can’t stand you
 | 
| Not only am I a man but I’m the band and a brand too
 | 
| So I understand the kind of shit these haters can hand you
 | 
| I seen a lot of pain and struggle, hardships in my days (days)
 | 
| And the devil comin' at me all kind of fuckin' ways (ways)
 | 
| There was plays when the lick went bad, we had to draw down
 | 
| No honor amongst thieves, they hate and bring the law down
 | 
| Cutthroat savages, kill you and make sandwiches
 | 
| Promise this world got more drama than you can manage, shit
 | 
| Somehow I fought my way up out of the zoo
 | 
| Then turned around and said «mother fuck you»
 | 
| 'Cause man I’m never goin' back
 | 
| I used to live up in the projects, in a duplex
 | 
| Even a shotgun shack
 |

 | 
| And that’s a mothafuckin' fact
 | 
| So I’m never goin' back
 | 
| Stack proper, stat popper
 | 
| I just landed, in the black choppa
 | 
| And the chat stopper, pop-pop, strapped proper
 | 
| In that black cabinet is the fat copper
 | 
| Give a little take and then what you got
 | 
| Pockets gettin' raped, niggas gettin' shot
 | 
| Think 'cause we got cake, niggas gettin' soft
 | 
| Any disrespect, niggas gettin' boxed
 | 
| If they bring that niggas gettin' scoffed
 | 
| Pull up like police, niggas gettin' stopped
 | 
| Drag him out the car, niggas gettin' chopped
 | 
| Punch him in the mouth, niggas gettin' socked
 | 
| Even when you’re tryin' niggas never listen
 | 
| Always kinda dissin', but you’re never decent
 | 
| And we just moving different, so you’re gettin' distant
 | 
| I’m just too persistent, but just got resisted
 | 
| Grab my little daughter and my son and kissed 'em
 | 
| Not a day goes by when I ain’t tryin' to lift 'em
 | 
| Think a nigga stupid man I clocked the system
 | 
| Bun just hit me up and then he got assistance
 | 
| I used to live up in the projects, in a duplex
 | 
| Even a shotgun shack
 | 
| And man I’m never goin' back
