Whole life been a struggle, but I made it. Fuck being degraded. Told you I'm one of God's favorite. Stepped off the stoop right under that hard pavement. Remember them days I first started paper chasing. Young and ambitious. Knuckle game's superb. Gun game vicious, nobody played with Herb or how to mix dope. From this scene named Gus and Better, scenes lean for that rank God we trust. All the chicks was beautiful. Cars was plush. Fuck around, be a funeral. You spar with us. Yo. You know who the king, yo. As far as it does. Name another rapper out there. Hardest gruff. Name another rapper out there. Hardest gruff. I don't hear you niggas. I ain't getting no feedback. Streaks respect violence, so where's my peace at? Give me my money. Game on me. Spend sleepless nights, days lonely for this shit called rap. I ain't want this right here. It fell in my lap. That's where the big l. Eyes in the zone, it would crack. Ask Virgil, I rock off right. Off night, solid gold padding. Frostbite, boss type, big nags, or ace, sons and buns. Toast to my niggas, you know love is love. Toast to the baddies, boots in the baddies. Good girl, like how you no for bad. She don't even good a no watch at work though. No. Little Spanish mommies be like me or more. DNA different. Ghettos of Belize fear nothing but God. Turn niggas number reads back. Yeah. Rest in peace. Matter of fact, rest in piss. Suck a dick for some fucking on your bitch. Yeah. Oh, nigga.
