[Chorus]
Had trials and tribulations, niggas hardly know. Been through a lot, nigga survived, but it scarred me though. Seens some fall, for my dawgs, imma ball fasho. Reminiscing on memories, Hennessy is all we pour
[Verse 1]
Now you gone feel this in your soul if you ever wore your timbs to the sole. Or had to wear your brothers and cousins clothes. We was standing ten toes before we knew the reasons. No questions asked. All for one and one for all. For our time to shine, niggas was feening. Patiently plotting, niggas speeding. But you know me, analyze the game, while judges drop fifty on niggas heads like Kobe. That type of time make niggas wild out. On that Rasheed shit, thought it was a game until he fouled out. Even I realized it’ll never be the same. Times have changed, my elementary crush dancing at the flame, nigga. I been the same nigga, since Castlegate by Flatshoals. Get it how you live, pack shoes or pack O’s. Rap flows or wrap bows. Nightmares of being ordinary more than scary, that’s why we stay flyer than forty fairy’s. Niggas envied cause I had higher self esteem, but I ain’t care, my right hook was more reliable than Kareem’s. I’m serious!
[Chorus]
Had trials and tribulations, niggas hardly know. Been through a lot, nigga survived, but it scarred me though. Seens some fall, for my dawgs, imma ball fasho. Reminiscing on memories, Hennessy is all we pour
[Verse 2]
Still look at my sister saddened, from knowing what the A got in store. Let alone the world. Precious as hell ‘cause she the only girl. And she’s the only girl I care for. Therefore, only figures move me. My heart more hollow than these niggas jewelry. Got too much heart to let these niggas rule me, or fool me, out my position. Niggas talking but the action missing. You still a puppy, never learned to prowl. Wet behind the ears. Type to set the play and get picked off Sherman style. Solitary confined but never been to jail. Outkast, been that way since Netflix was coming through the mail. Feel me? Cus won't attend if he can’t get the toast in, me? I’m strictly profit, grossed out by what y’all gross in. Uh, don’t flex on niggas with thinner cake ‘round this interstate. Bang you lincoln style, left ‘em leaking wild, stinking foul. It’d kill me seeing my momma hearing they killed me, that’s why I stay out the way and stack my mail like Ceily. 285!
[Chorus]
Had trials and tribulations, niggas hardly know. Been through a lot, nigga survived, but it scarred me though. Seens some fall, for my dawgs, imma ball fasho. Reminiscing on memories, Hennessy is all we pour
