One Whiskey

[Verse 1]
April 8th 1991, my momma had her first son
That’s where the story starts, way before the stars
Way before the lights, the glitz and glamour
Way before the cameras
Bay Mills boulevard apartment 815
I had sick dreams that ricochets would hit me
No pops, my queen raised a king
Listening to Usher was our favorite thing
Holder heads outside bitches with they mouth wide open
Ice cream trucks and fiends smoking
Contradiction, our overall jumpers had the pocket missing
But we kicked it we was styling
Unaware of the violence we grew up in
Used to think a 2 wheel bike was stunting
Cook outs and beat downs on ya birthday
Drinking water from the hose when ya thirsty
Be home before the street lights stay outta the street life
Cause you don’t want to know what the streets like
Seen a lot at a young age this is just the front page
The stories getting written
The code on the streets get money & fuck the women
That’s how we grew up that’s all we knew of
A young king with a vision and a dream
But everything ain't what it seems

[Hook]
Got my feet on the ground with my head to the sky
Put my hands together and I pray to God why
Ima spread my wings & fly
Watch me spread my wings & fly
And I got no clue why they hating on me
Ever since day 1 I been the same OG
Ima spread my wings & fly
Watch me spread my wings & fly

[Verse 2]
Fell in love when I was 17, I wonder if she remember me
Her name was Fevy G
Learned a lot but it burned in the end
We tried to be friends but that never happened
2 months later my grandma was collapsing
And I was standing there you ever seen a man in fear
With tears in my eyes, didn’t talk much of late I thought she had years on her side
But god had a different plan that’s something you can't fight
I still have nightmares about that night
Everyday trips to see you in the hospital
Although it’s logical it never seemed possible
I spoke about you on R.N.S
That was before you were laid to rest, so now I got to vent
I remember you kept food on the table whenever I ran outta cents
Taught me bout respect, taught me bout family
Always optimistic bout the man I'd be
Made a promise, and to be honest I'll never break it
Your life I can't replace it and that hurts me
Never talk about my problems, I just drown ‘em in a bottle
We all got demons
And the day you stopped breathing told you I got a dream I believe in
And now I’ll achieve it

[Hook x2]
