I used to sit and dream bout times like this
Excluding the four soldiers that went gone with the wind
The older I grew, I feel the rage impacted me more
We surviving better now, but to them at what cost
You lied to me so much that overtime it felt good
Maybe that's my fault for believing anything that I could
Placing faith in other people, made me lethal in a way
I'm no follower, a leader
Real mischievous through the day
Hearing sirens made me feel I'm safe
I couldn't sleep unless I heard the sounds of other people's pain
You gon let my ego loose and he gon really have his way
You gon make that greed in me go and hit a dirty play
I knew I couldn't clear mind while meditating
But I ain't give a f*ck, cause these grams shakin
Do you ever sit and think about the crime rate
Still broke, so I can't think about my dying day
How long before you realize life is real life
How many niggas did she f*ck, do it feel tight?
I've been holding onto pain for some years on
I stood firm about your name but that ain't last long
Sometimes I wonder are we ever gonna think rich
Remember when they said we'll grow up and not be shit
Remember thinking that our friends will always be here
Sometimes I wonder are we ever gonna think rich
Remember when they said we'll grow up and not be shit
Remember thinking that my niggas wouldn't leave here, damn
Too strong, can't match my pride
Raised a dog, got wings, I'm fly
Sometimes I just wanna cry
(Uh)
Too strong, can't match my pride
Raised a dog, got wings, I'm fly
Sometimes I just wanna cry
I thought my inner child was tamed
Want a piece of your remains but don't have the balls to say
Image of you in my head, well til the pixels fade
Guess I'm in a different frame
Guess I had some will to change
Couple old friends
Not enough to give a crew some faith
Enough to give the youth some game
Trick them out our foolish ways
Wine has a bitter taste
My heart couldn't immune to hate
Don't tell me how to deal with shit
Another blunt excuse I'll make
Mentally I'll do okay, physically I need a break
Relaxing gets uncomfortable when thinkin' bout the green to make
I can teach you several things
Shit I've made a few mistakes
Just get ya bundle up, cut off who feel is fake
F*ck these niggas, find some equity, get some real estate
Go outta state, get out the rat race
Get out this clustered maze
You're elevating gracefully, that puts you in a different place
If nothing else is working out
Get on your knees, prepare to pray
Too strong, can't match my pride
Raised a dog, got wings, I'm fly
Sometimes I just wanna cry (Hustle, hustle)
Too strong, can't match my pride
Raised a dog, got wings, I'm fly
Sometimes I just wanna cry
