So many people have changed on me Less love but the hate on fleek
I ain’t never been a fake homie
They putting a lot of weight on me
But that’s nothing, I’m that youngin Gangsters love me and I got the trap jumping
Pull up at the VIP, dabbing with the kids Give em a little hope yeah now that’s something
I been through the worst
The pain and the stress and the hurt Told myself this ain’t what I deserve
Had to make sure a youngin was hurt Through the hunger the drought and the thirst
I was close to laying in a hurse
It’s funny how I got saved by these verses
Show respect my name written incursive, I prayed in them churches
Yeah Mama was there for me, yeah Some homies didn’t care for me
But dad helped me choose friends carefully
And, I was never treated specially
