I'm a livin' little good thing It's like you never lived for me, yeah Mama said you was a good thing, uh Good, good, good, yeah Yeah We came a long way, man, we done came a long way And we sittin' on top of this shit This shit can go one of two ways This shit can go up, it can go down Either way, nigga, I'm prepared Feel me? Yeah I be comin' in peace, but fuck me Best beware of the others This shit deep, undercovers creep This Southern heat make unbearable summers Just last week, seen yo' mama weep Crying 'cause she don't wan' bury your brother The blood lеaks while the EMTs Gotta carry her baby likе surrogate mothers Woah, thank God we survived around where the terrorists hovered Though traumatized, wouldn't trade it for nothin' Through hard times, it was there I discovered A hustle and makin' the best out the struggle I kept grindin' 'til this day, up a level Respect mine, gotta stay out of trouble 'Cause TEC-9s like to air out rebuttals Cole World, niggas knowin' what it is Just in case they don't, I show 'em what it is This summer, I do real numbers Couldn't dare touch it if they sold a double disc Block hot, niggas burnin' up the street Shots poppin' and we heard it up the street It's a war, niggas runnin' up the score Jesus said that you should turn the other cheek Was his niggas gettin' murdered every week? Dead bodies, smell the odor in the street My homie' homie got out on parole He sold more Coca-Cola than the soda industry Summertime bring the coldest winter breeze Hella blues like the Rollin' 60s Christ went to Heaven age thirty-three And so did Pimp C and so did Nipsey I told you, I told you This shit can go up, it can go down, I don't give a fuck Nigga, I done seen the highest heights I done seen it twice And I've seen the lowest of the lows And still I rose Now I'm at your neck, nigga, yeah
