Blood sweat and tears what I shed
Sleepless nights in my bed
They only love when you shining
I won't let it get to my head
Got a lil' one on the way
Now I gotta do this sh*t for my kid
Havin' conversations with the sky
And I meant everything that I said
For my family gotta build a legacy
I'ma be the man when I'm dead
Worked too hard I can't slip up
So I'm clutching tight on this lead
Naw I ain't a killer but don't push me
I'm too close to the edge
Is what it is ain't no looking back
Don't regret the things that I did ayy
System got the hood f**ked up
Killers crack fiends and some christians
Lil' n**ga all he know is bang
Only 16 on a mission ayy
Drug money out there serving fiends
Only time he show his ambition
Kid on the way mama's bills late
Gotta hustle hard gotta get it
Block was slow so he had to rob
Just to make 'em smile on christmas
Caught a case judge ain't tryna hear
All the things influenced my decisions
Hate to follow rules
Elementary school all started off with suspensions
If it weren't for rapping where would I be
I just thank god that I'm gifted
Made it to the top and I stood up
First I had to crawl in them trenches
We got hate in us tryna murder somethin'
Runnin' through the field hoppin' fences
They left blood stains on our corner
Gotta spin back with a vengeance
Glock discharge it's a man down
Real gang members handle business
Blood sweat and tears what I shed
Sleepless nights in my bed
They only love when you shining
I won't let it get to my head
Got a lil' one on the way
Now I gotta do this sh*t for my kid
Havin' conversations with the sky
And I meant everything that I said
For my family gotta build a legacy
I'ma be the man when I'm dead
Worked too hard I can't slip up
So I'm clutching tight on this lead
Naw I ain't a killer but don't push me
I'm too close to the edge
Is what it is ain't no looking back
Don't regret the things that I did
We some young n**gas we don't give a f**k
Knock a n**ga head right off
Bunch of hollow shells on that crime scene
It was doa white chalk
I know real killers no remorse in 'em
Proud of the bodies they caught
Went through a lot and I'm only 20
It's a lot of things that I saw
Sh*t left me cold on the inside
Feelin' like I need to unthaw
Was it to fill a void or acceptance
Lookin' at the things that I bought
I still get depressed in my mansion
Contemplating deep in my thoughts
I'm just glad that I'm still standing
It's a lot of demons I fought
Voices in my head and that gun cocked
Late night rides in all black
Really come from nothin'
I was on that block like the streets all that I got
I done been snaked by my own kind
So who really watchin' my back
Know they want me gone one up top
I'm a dead man if I lack
Blood sweat and tears what I shed
Sleepless nights in my bed
They only love when you shining
I won't let it get to my head
Got a lil' one on the way
Now I gotta do this sh*t for my kid
Havin' conversations with the sky
And I meant everything that I said
For my family gotta build a legacy
I'ma be the man when I'm dead
Worked too hard I can't slip up
So I'm clutching tight on this lead
Naw I ain't a killer but don't push me
I'm too close to the edge
Is what it is ain't no looking back
Don't regret the things that I did ayy
