When you seen your homie
First thing that he gave you was a knife (Damn)
I'm tryna tell you that it's real (Yeah)
You don't know how it feel (Damn)

[Verse 2]
Process go slow (Go slow)
I can't sleep it's too cold (It's too cold)
My bond no hold
First stop Stateville 'cause I'm still on parole (Damn, damn)
See I was probably somewhere in the hole
Caught a opp that killed bro
Beat his ass, boy, you know how it go (What, what?)
And I was in the cell with D. Rose when they gave him that time
On O shit hurt my soul, damn (Damn, damn)
Don't quit gotta fight 'em (Gotta fight 'em)
You young, you black, they don't like you (They don't like you)
You got a son on the way, if they take you away
He could fuck around and be just like you (Just like you)
Got his hands on the Glock and the rifle (And the rifle)
Tryna put some hot in a rival (Boom, boom)
Lookin' up, time flyin' right by you (Damn)
Time's hard gotta lean on the bible
[Chorus]

[Outro]
Ayy, on a serious note, though
Like, on some for real shit
These people ain't fuckin' playin' with us, n***a
Ayy, when I got booked back in 2014 for that shit
And my arresting officer he brought me downstairs to get processed in, three other detectives, they came out
One of 'em get that, "Yeah, Nine, that's my work"
Now the other officer get that, "D. Rose, yeah, that's my work"
The other officer get that, "Cdai, that's my work"
And what they mean by when they say that's they work
'Cause they the one that charged and put them away
That's the one that— you know?
So they playin' this shit like a game like givin' us time
Like a game, see what I'm sayin'?
This shit ain't no joke
