[Verse 1]
They tell me not to say it all, nigga I ain't said enough
Now lately I been tripping, nigga I ain't prayed enough
The only thing that's stable is this liquor in my cup
Went from caring about what they say to not giving a fuck
And I promise it ain't luck that has got me this far
All I do is work hard and have faith in my God
Bring you something unique, try and keep it discreet
Please don't get up out your seat, you might miss the good part
Middle finger to the system trying to block my intuition
Please don't let your pride override your ambition
We don't need no labels, we can do this independent
But these niggas acting timid, homie this my intervention
Got you signing contracts that's gon put you out of business
Believe that you could fly, keep your wings don't clip'em
We tryna bring hope back to the youth
My people gon' be starving if I leave it up to you, if I leave it up to you
And we the troubled youth, and we the troubled youth, we the troubled youth
Don't let them tell us what to do
And we the troubled youth, we the troubled youth, we the troubled youth, but we the troubled youth
And we don't give a fuck
Cause nigga we gon' ride
[Verse 2]
Why they always tryna kill my vibe, why they always tryna kill my vibe
You can meet me outside
I'm sick and tired of seeing niggas die, we all sick of seeing niggas die
Better open up your eyes, I'm drinking out the bottle where I'm writing all these lines
To my granny, seen her drunk, man ain't never told a lie
Nah he ain't never told a lie
I've been derived from the thoughts in your mind
Envision every soul getting lost in the time
Penetrating deep enough, she feel it in her spine
Niggas hit, hussle, and pick up all my line
People listen when I scribe
I'm a self-proclaimed king to this game and you ain't noticed but ain't no drug up on the corner
Thats my potent and it's potent
Fuck if you hatin', no debatin', I'm the greatest
People talking shit about me and the don't even think that I notice
But I do
And we the troubled youth, and we the troubled youth, we the troubled youth
Don't let them tell us what to do, no
And we the troubled youth, we the troubled youth, we the troubled youth, but we the troubled youth
And we don't give a fuck
Cause nigga we gon' ride
All my young niggas meet me outside
All my young niggas meet me outside
I ain't seen you rappers do the shit that you been talking
You digging your own grave, you gon' end up in a coffin
Such a premature burial site
Tryna get up on my level, I'm in aerial heights
Tell'em goodnight. I ain't your ordinary rap nigga
I coast just between aware niggas and trap niggas
That's facts nigga, we made it cool to be black nigga
Been in my spaceship but they wanna put us back in the slave ship
Nigga ain't that bout a bitch?
My presence is a gift and they working overtime to make sure we ain't rich
Don't worry about me, dawg, worry bout your bitch
I ain't even packing linens but they tell me I'm a trip
Man they tell me I'm a trip
I'm faded, damn I can't wait to be famous
All of my people gone be straight, all my niggas gon' be eating
And that's word to the cater man, shout out to the cater man
And we the troubled youth, and we the troubled youth, we the troubled youth
Don't let them tell us what to do
And we the troubled youth, we the troubled youth, we the troubled youth, but we the troubled youth
And we don't give a fuck
Cause nigga we gon' ride
