|
| Feelin' like the world left me for dead somewhere on my own
|
| Though it was wrong, somehow I got the fuck back in my zone
|
| I’m one of the realest to ever do it as king on the throne
|
| I put my team in position, in a league of my own
|
| They told me never lose my faith and fight well under pressure
|
| Less than a week later, my brother was dead on the stretcher
|
| If pain was a story then tell them my life is a lecture
|
| I told the devil if he’s slippin' this choper gon' wet’cha
|
| I adapt to my situation, hustle everything
|
| Guess I’m a menace that shine' in the dark weavin' through heavy rain
|
| And still I stand they hear me louder now like heavy gain
|
| My emotion is so much colder now like heavy caine
|
| Heavy chains around they lies the truth will set 'em free
|
| Show 'em what they wasn’t told and lead 'em where they could see
|
| I keep it G in life 'cause that’s just what I chose to be
|
| So many try to duplicate but they was never me
|
| Yeah, they was never me
|
| Look, they can try but they will never be

| Grew up in a single house, raised by a single mother
|
| No daddy to help us out, had to get it from the gutter
|
| They say since I’m trappin' I’m a bad example for my brother
|
| But even my brother know, my sister and my mother know
|
| That a nigga grindin' I’m tryin' to get up out the struggle
|
| Went from nick 'n' dimin' to rhymin' I had to switch the hustle
|
| Facin' five years at eighteen, he thought I was finished
|
| But got house arrest and even judge don’t know why he did it
|
| Walkin' out the court room like thank you god
|
| Try to lock me for mad years, but I can’t be stopped
|
| Then I went to school got my music engineer degree
|
| Pennin' my own label, Brillionair records LLC
|
| You can’t name another nigga that done done it young as me
|
| They tried to count me out but it ain’t that simple as one, two, three
|
| And now I’m takin' trips to them places you wanna be
|
| To foreign countries where they exchangin' the currency
|
| And now I’m seein' things that they said that I’d never see
|
| That’s probably 'cause I’m in that place they said I’d never be Sheesh

| Don’t tell me words don’t matter (Yeah)
|
| I have a dream, just words…
|
| We hold these truths to be self-evident
|
| That all men are created equal, just words…
|
| We have nothin' to fear but fear itself, just words…
|
| Just speeches, but speeches don’t solve all problems
|
| But what is also true, is if we can not inspire the country to believe again
|
| The American people want to believe in change again
|
| Don’t tell me words don’t matter |
