[Intro]
Uh
Whoo
Ay yo man you know
It's been a pleasure man
I come from the east side of Buffalo man
This right here is some legendary shit man
Facts
Yo but let me talk my shit to y'all
Uh huh
Look
[Verse 1]
I got 'em throwing rose petals at my feet
I deserve a fucking gold medal for this beat
This for my niggas up top wrote letters for their seeds
For the ones that went to college, chose better than the streets
I talk less because the ones in silence holding the power
The only rapper that's still holding the crown
This type of illness can't be fixed with a pill from over the counter
If you sow your seeds right you probably could grow a flower
Cause on this mic I'm Tyson, Jordan and Jackson
Beats [?] visions with liquor poured in the glasses
And niggas on the corner they trapping to weed heads
Pill poppers, crack heads shit they support every habit
I'm from a city where no love lost
And guns bust off
And young niggas catching bodies like a trust fall
Sip on this bottle count this shoe box money
Took some out, put it back and bought a boom box for me
And I always got the finishing touch
I chose this business over friendships that decision was tough
I pour my heart in these lyrics and let you sip from this cup
I paint a picture with words
Better than Picasso did with a brush
When you balling got to understand the rules of the court
Lay low, stack up and keep a tool in the drawer
And show my niggas how to eat without a spoon and a fork
Keep the hustle that's how real niggas move in New York
[Chorus]
And I was taught to judge a man by his heart
Before you see the lights you got to stand in the dark
If being a legend was a plan from the start
Cause I'm coming from a city where the champions walk
And I was taught to judge a man by his heart
Before you see the lights you got to stand in the dark
If being a legend was a plan from the start
Cause I'm coming from a city where the champions walk
[Verse 2]
Look
We took a toast in the club
Shit get real when these niggas mix their emotions with drugs
I had a mission rags to riches so its no giving up
Cause momma gave me the ropes
And all I needed was a robe and a glove
Winter time, fur hoods and bubble coats to shovel snow
My raps sound like I'm under oath
That nigga you texting and need to reach
And leaving you unread reciepts
Be the same nigga I got sleeping between the sheets
And I was raised in the jungle
I came right out that bitch in a chinchilla
With thieves and [?]
We dreamed and lived bigger and grieved for big figures
When you made a living right out the basement like Big Tigga
Time of the essence
Every line is a message
All eyes is on me like the bride at a wedding
I had to accept a loss
Find a man to accept my flaws
I had to put the shit in motion while y'all pressing pause
I had to switch up on some bitches now they say I changed
But I ain't put in all this hard work to stay the same
My back to the wall I had to be strong
Cause all the food that was in the kitchen cabinet was gone
All that shit I went through I had to rap in these songs
I hit the stage to hear them rap and applaud
So I don't give a fuck
