[Verse 1:]
Smoke out my nostrils, street dwelling rebel that was raised for survival
Chiefing with my niggas on the reg that how I do
Leader on the path of elevation God knows I'm striving just to make it
Early in the A.M. building lifting writing scripts, and blazing meditation
Eyes glowing red matching my ambition, thoughts and actions centered around better livin'
Within my own yard I detect serpents trying their best to keep me down and they fraudulence underground
Hoe-niggas come around like it's all love when in fact, all they want is to leech
I ain't got patience for that, so you see me by myself a lot far from the post-up spot
Or chiefing with my peoples that struggled with me, as I ride they the same heads that bubble with me
A D-I-L-L-I soldier for life, smoking marley out of peace pipes still
If I spit it then you seen it nigga be that real
[?] that's ill
Since we started this journey a couple caps got peeled but my niggas still here, what
Street dwelling rebel that was raised for survival
Chiefing with my peoples on the reg that how I do
Leader on the path of elevation God knows I'm striving just to make it
Street dwelling rebel that was raised for survival
Chiefing with my niggas on the reg that how I do
Leader on the path of elevation God knows I'm striving just to make it
[Verse 2:]
Who said it ain't no love? They must dumb deaf and blind
The type to complain about the [?] when the sun shinin
I'm like AZ to Harlem striving to feed the whole fam
Showed her the dynasty, trying to be paid n full but niggas on some Rico shit
Niggas wanna snake the clique, mindstate flipped the game over now they wanna build
Dead wrong if I click the steel but if I let this money slip past mine then I'm wrong for real
What's a nigga to do? Life's a bitch sometimes you gotta show and prove that you stout and thick
Built to hit, more than ready to take control
Push the thighs to the breast and ride the hell out tha hoe
It's a rollercoaster [?] two steps from getting yours and your life is over
That's why you gotta soldier nigga fuck what these cats sayin yall do your thing man
For real though
Smoke out my nostrils, street dwelling rebel that was raised for survival Chiefing with my niggas on the reg that how I do
Leader on the path of elevation God knows I'm striving just to make it
Smoke out my nostrils, street dwelling rebel that was raised for survival Chiefing with my niggas on the reg that how I do
Leader on the path of elevation God knows I'm striving just to make it
Yo I'm like AZ to Harlem striving to feed the whole fam
Showed her the dynasty, trying to be paid n full
[Verse 3:]
God knows I'm striving just to make it
I'm invested in the streets I'm tryna triple that shit
(Sometimes you just can't give a fuck dawg)
If you ain't love me then you still don't trust me, if you ain't trust me then you still don't love me
Motherfucker I'm still gutta, B, Pulling on the [?] building with my peons see
Divvy down to come up bring come on now it's time to eat
Praise the lord for Huey P, Sun bless the earth wind and equality
Put the wisdom [?] and hit the street
Move wise far from dumb deaf and blind I know snakes lurk in the shadows waiting to see me close my eyes
And all I want is to rise shit early, you don't give a damn and I don't give a fuck you feel me
Still gonna illuminate bag a figure eight then skate
Get up with crew and put it down on the music
Smoke out my nostrils, street dwelling rebel that was raised for survival Chiefing with my niggas on the reg that how I do
Leader on the path of elevation God knows I'm striving just to make it
