| It ain’t nothing I want more |
| Ain’t nothing I want more |
| I ain’t c- |
| I told you, when I first came here, I said, «I ain’t come here to waste my time» |
| I came here |
| They gave us a chance to get in, like we asked for |
| And that’s, that’s what we here to do |
| (Yeah, nigga, 26) |
| The job still ain’t done |
| (Straight up) |
| But I, I said, «You, you know what I’m here for» |
| Back on top, punchin' the clock, clutchin' sanity |
| I got more cribs than Habitat for Humanity |
| Shit profound, we propagating more profanity |
| Paid off collections from recollections of calamity (Oh shit, look, |
| that nigga gonna shoot) |
| The shit pop off, I learned to duck under the canopy (Oh shit, run, nigga, run) |
| 'Til it cool off, they murked a nigga right in front of me |
| Told him to come off his chain for tryna floss |
| Died over a cross just like the start of Christianity |
| When I was a boy, the teacher often reprimanded me (Jermaine) |
| Thought it was toys, it was a Glock this nigga handed me |
| I busted the trees, was barely strong enough to squeeze |
| Bullets traveled through leaves, it probably killed somebody randomly |
| Ran in the crib and played it off amongst the family |
| Nightmare scenes, the police finally apprehended me |
| Woke up screamin', seen a demon had his hand on me |
| Still sport the scar on my arm from where he branded me |
| Like a Que Dog, my niggas burnin' with the mute off |
| Loud pack smoke through the cracks, I catch a contact |
| Triggerin' a paranoid mindset, now I’m back |
| Teeterin' between enlightened and insanity |
| Now that I’m rich, I feel nobody understandin' me |
| All I can do is cut the mic on, holler at you |
| Can’t let the fame scare me off from speaking candidly |
| All them niggas is so Kane, they started singin' like Danity |
| Now I’m left here, paid like I planned to be, damn |
| A lot of times, those situations are, um, are handled way before the time comes |
| In the summer, I think when you truly prepare yourself, and |
| With training and conditioning, and things like that |
| When you cheat yourself, you fail in those moments |
| You know, you crash, and when you really put the time in and |
| Whether people see it, or whether people know it or not |
| You know, it always come to light |
