[Intro]
(Favor, turn me up)
(Ayo Steery, cook it up)
Let's go
Oh my God, it's Jhacari
Jhacari, motherfucker
[Verse]
Came out the womb in the month of June, Gemini baby
Mama lost her first son and she thought she was done
Then three girls later, only God could delay me
Fourth baby wasn't done, on my mama, on my son
Overprotective 'bout my women by the age of two or three
"We gon' make it out the struggle," every hood nigga dream
Learned from my mistakes and now there's shit that I ain't know 'bout
I'm pushin' her lil' baby, she like, "Son, you gotta go"
'Cari turned four and had the [?] on lockdown
Dad had a [?] with the top down
Hold the rock, done beat the block down, pain in my eyes
And shit got crazy by the time I turned five
And went to elementary school, my mama thought she had the break, she wanted to relax
Still had to serve the J, after, she'll be back
Tryna figure why we're movin' to a whole 'nother state
Come to find out we runnin' from the motherfuckin' dispatch
Come to find out my dad was on the run for a murder
Mama lookin' for love, come to find out every nigga hurt her
'Til that nigga put his hands on me, pops played a big role
Fuckin' with his son, he on the way and he gon' murder
Six, seven, eight, back to Atlanta, bitch, I'm hardly ready
Nine, had to go to school, from three, I took the spotter ready
Ten, I was tired of strugglin', eleven, I was goin' steady
Twelve, I had done jumped off of the porch and I had counted my blessings
Fourteen, daddy caught another murder charge
And fifteen, startin' flippin', stealin' niggas cards
And I was just grindin', always puttin' in all the work
Got a call from juvenile, my brother on the turf
Out there on my own and I was tryna make it work
Beggin' for a channel, niggas left me in the dirt
Mad at the whole world, so much pain inside
Nobody understood the kid was hurt
Had to go to school the next day, see the kids flexin' on me
Roll my eyes, try my best so I can't make her feel wrongly
But they came, karma came, I was down by my lonely
Walked to school with a smile on my face like I wasn't homeless
Sixteen, hit a million
Seventeen, had dreams, now I want a billion
Eighteen, toxic relationship, nothin' to drain out
Nineteen, made the Forbes list, we not the same now
Twenty-somethin' years later, I remain the same now
Mama, we made it, oh, ooh, ooh
I remain the same now, my sisters, we made it, oh, oh, oh
I remain the same now, I remain the same now, I remain the same
I remain the same now, I remain the same now, uh
