[Intro]
Check, ayy

[Verse]
I started from the Bay, it's amazing I made it here
I guess it's safe to say I'm having a hell of a year
Flex, it's a honor to meet you but let's be clear
I done had a bone to pick with yo' ass for four years
You been a big part of this culture my whole life
So what I'm 'bout to say almost don't feel right
You say some wild shit, most times you actually right
But all that disrespecting Tupac shit stops tonight
As a West Coast n***a, Pac gave all of us pride
That's why when you said what you said we was surprised
How you wait twenty-some years after he die
To come in this motherfucker and keep screaming, "He lied"
And hе ain't alive to tell his side
But I ain't mad at you 'causе you was speaking your mind
To keep it real, what you said what's on half these n***as minds
Just the next time you say it, don't sound like you 'bout to cry
Shit, well, now that that's out the way
Let's get straight to it 'cause I got a whole lot to say
Nowadays most rappers I see in XXL is glorifying shit that we was taught to keep to ourself
They told us the streets would leave a n***a dead or in jail
We started hooping and rapping to better ourselves
But that comes with baggage 'cause you'll need help
But the n***as who help is n***as from life that you left
So they take chances for you to be a success
While you try to get on to help save them from theyself
Everybody plays a role so if this whole shit fails
It's back to running the streets, where every man's for himself
It's hard to tell a n***a to leave the streets
Especially when the money that they making is funding your dream
So even though we hoop and rap to make it out the trap
It's the resources we lack that keep us circling back
You gotta reach back to keep your circle intact
'Cause when n***as can't go with you, your character gets attacked
And the n***as that's attached put batteries in your back
Don't let you know when you slack 'cause they don't wanna go back
So how do you detach?
When the ones who helped you make it can't make it to where you at
And you growing at a pace that's hard for n***as to catch
And they want you to stay the same, that's when it creates a gap
I'm at the point where I fear less and feel more
'Cause where I'm from, fear can keep you from what you here for
I told n***as I'm grinding so we can live more
What's crazy is we rapping for shit that n***as get killed for
You see when nobody's eating and n***as still poor
That's when everybody want all they n***as to win more
And one friend gets what others thought they was meant for
Before he gets it going they'll tell you he ain't do shit for 'em
This fame shit's a lot
I'm 'bout to go on tour, these lines be 'round the block
They told me not to fuck these thots on every stop
Shit, I ain't even shaking hands, I'm scared of the monkeypox
Two hundred K in jewelry, that's two chains and a watch
I'm spending my per diem on t shirts and socks
New York 'bout to pop, I pray nobody get shot
Chicago gon' be windy but Texas finna be hot
I ain't been home in weeks, my album about to drop
Imagine all the fans I'ma lose if this shit flop
It's hard competing with Drake for the top spot
But imagine what we 'bout to go through with these robots
RIP to PnB Rock, I said, RIP to PnB Rock
What? RIP to PnB Rock
Man, you n***as from the block kill more than n***as than cops, let me stop
