Kid on the Block |
| Ayo, I used to wanna be the toughest kid on the block |
| Till I found out the toughest kid always gets shot |
| I used to wanna make a mill pushin that rock |
| Till I found out the big timers always got caught |
| I used to wanna be the OG tellin a tale |
| Til I found out they only up dead or in jail |
| I was Lost and confused searchin for somebody to be |
| Till I realized that person I was searchin for was me |
| Look, as of right now I’m writing rhymes in this notebook |
| Scheming on making ways to make a mil, without giving my soul up |
| & Split it with the cats that had nothing but love to show us |
| In hopes that I never have to watch my nigga bag that coke up |
| Just to make a buck to put some food in his belly |
| I ain’t worried about the rumors or the bullshit they tell me |
| Cause me & my niggas, yeah we tryna eat |
| We tryna get that, never sleep & never sit back |
| Talk is cheap so quit the chit chat |
| If you ain’t got the flow you gotta go |
| If you & I suppose, you’re gonna need a thousand up front for me to rock a show |
| nigga |
| Tellin' you I’m bout my busy |
| I’m learnin' to forgive all the dirt that everyones did me |
| Simply cause I’m just tryna learn to love before they kill me |
| I don’t do this for myself, this for everyone that’s with me |
| I just wanna be remembered when my time is up |
| Not as a G, not as a thug, cause homie I ain’t tough |
| Just remember me for everything I tried to tell you |
| Cause when I’m gone It’ll make sense but I don’t wanna fail you |
| So I try my best to try & stay alive |
| But it’s hard when the cats that wanna take your life know where your family |
| resides |
| Mama tells me stay inside, but I fear no man but god |
| So I’m out every day & night |
| I show up in my enemy’s city, tasting my faith |
| Hoping I don’t lose my life so I bow my head & I pray |
| Cause if my time comes then it was meant to come |
| But when everything said & done |
| All I ask of you is dont forget the love |
| I used to wanna be the toughest kid on the block |
| Till I found out the toughest kid always gets shot |
| I used to wanna make a mill pushin that rock |
| Till I found out the big timers always got caught |
| I used to wanna be the OG tellin a tale |
| Til I found out they only up dead or in jail |
| I was Lost and confused searchin for somebody to be |
| Till I realized that person I was searchin for was me |
