[Intro]
I remember when I was much younger than now
I used to sit and listen to the news
I was the only child
Another day, and another night
Wishing Daddy would come home
Me and Mom couldn't sleep at night
[Verse 1]
Roaches, rats everywhere, what you know about it?
Shit got normal to a n***a, had to go around it
Wanna get some money, tell me how I go about it (Go about it)
Everything you ever loved, you gotta go without it
N***as strugglin', I know about it (Uh)
Ma could only cover rent with her check, ain't get no allowance (Ain't get nothin')
Niko showed me how to hustle, I ain't know where the pound is
You get all that for that? I was so astounded
My mama told me not to talk to strangers
But Ma ain't know every time she watched me leave the house, her baby life in danger
Most of the n***as you grew up with be acting strangers
It be the strangers who genuine as life changes
I'm full of anger, but I don't wanna be angry
I live in Bel Air now, I'm off the e-way in Topanga
My high anxiety, I gotta ride with the bangers (I got to)
Fly as a salary, three hundred thou' on some hangers
[Chorus]
Ridin' like a Wrangler, dyin' like a gangster
I don't trust no n***a, how I'm ridin' with a stranger
Street n***a, I ain't been outside in a minute
But I stand on what it is, so I'm dyin' how I'm livin'
Grindin', ain't put nothin' to the side in a minute
Three, four mil', I'ma be up five in a minute
Do I wanna sign? I'll decide in a minute
They get fifteen, we get eighty-five independent
I been sliding for a minute
Thankful I ain't seen a homicide in a minute
Put my n***as on, I've been trying for a minute
Diamonds on the face, ain't checked the time in a minute (Ayy)
Valentine, can I get your time? Just a minute
Hit the line, I'ma be outside in a minute
Take my time when I'm in it
She replyin' in a minute (Uh)
If I start something, I take my time, gotta finish it
[Verse 2]
Way before the rap, was on the nine on some killer shit (Yeah)
Bite me all the time, I don't mind, I invented shit
Could've been rich, but I ain't signed on some trippin' shit (Uh)
Guess it was divine intuition, I'm still killin' shit
On some independent shit
Now we all rich as shit
Cuz doin' a bid, told him, "Chill," he ain't missin' shit
Still at the beginnin', we just really gettin' into shit
Anything possible, they using us for instances
N***as own businesses
[Chorus]
Ridin' like a Wrangler, dyin' like a gangster
I don't trust no n***a, how I'm ridin' with a stranger
Street n***a, I ain't been outside in a minute
But I stand on what it is, so I'm dyin' how I'm livin'
Grindin', ain't put nothin' to the side in a minute
Three, four mil', I'ma be up five in a minute
Do I wanna sign? I'll decide in a minute
They get fifteen, we get eighty-five independent
I been sliding for a minute (Ayy)
Thankful I ain't seen a homicide in a minute (Thankful)
Put my n***as on, I've been trying for a minute
Diamonds on the face, ain't checked the time in a minute (Uh)
Valentine, can I get your time? Just a minute
Hit the line, I'ma be outside in a minute
Take my time when I'm in it
She replyin' in a minute (Uh)
If I start something, I take my time, gotta finish it
[Verse 3]
My life really lit, don't need no witnesses
I don't got a Instagram, shit, I'm really in this shit
N***as havin' shit, I'm serious, hope you experience it (Yeah)
Thirty K just for appearances, I got like six of them this week
Might buy a Richard if I tweak
I don't clout chase on the net, that shit ain't losin' me no sleep (Uh-uh)
They ain't shittin' what I eat, and you can't get rich off of a tweet
I record shit so much, like eighty hours in a week
But the street's dry, might get a n***a rich just off a leak (Hey)
Don't look in my eye, I hit a n***a bitch just off a peek
I knew all them hoes was on the same shit since Dominique
He won't shake my hand, he know I know his baby mom a freak
Used to give my ma a G, now that ain't shit but Prada sneaks, ayy
[Chorus]
Ridin' like a Wrangler, dyin' like a gangster (Gangster)
I don't trust no n***a, how I'm ridin' with a stranger (How I'm ridin' with a stranger)
Street n***a, I ain't been outside in a minute
But I stand on what it is, so I'm dyin' how I'm livin'
Grindin', ain't put nothin' to the side in a minute
Three, four mil', I'ma be up five in a minute
Do I wanna sign? I'll decide in a minute
They get fifteen, we get eighty-five independent, uh
