Are you still wit me
Are you gonna witness while I do it for my city
She said what's the deal really
Tell these bitches treat a preen up like a 360 I ain't signin
Are you still wit me
Will you still keep it a hunnid when we hit a milli
How you feel really
Tell me where we'd be without some fear really
Times were gettin tough because it's harder than it's ever been
Momma cried a lot but soon she'll wipe her tears with Benjamin's
285 on ruby drives that's where my life begins
My momma 24 no time to be a kid she's raising kids
Pawned her jewelry shit that I'll never forget
Did whatever just as long as there was food inside the fridge
She was full of knowledge
She said a loss can win
And harder times are how it feels to feel like you exist
Alabama slangin that was just the language
Felt abandoned by my pops and thats what started hatred
At that point in time I knew the struggle didn't break us
Figured that our problems and our promise things that made us
Mind over matter, I taught myself the ropes
Independence is mentioned like everybody knows
But y'all ain't independent if you've never tried to grow
I learned it young inside my home located right on ruby road
Are you still wit me
Are you gonna witness while I do it for my city
She said what's the deal really
Tell these bitches treat a preen up like a 360 I ain't signin
Are you still wit me
Will you still keep it a hunnid when we hit a milli
How you feel really

Moved to Rockland county back in 98
My daddy hustled he would wake and work from 9-8
I had to hold it down inside my house when I was 8 because my father had to break his back fill up every plate
My parents had my brother in 2001
I had to raise him like my own and treat him like a son
I never mind because I felt like I was man enough
And every challenge is a test for me for me to level up
Fast forward a couple years we figured something's up
He never gave us hugs
He never gave us love
Went to every doctor tried to see what's up
Diagnosed autistic man that f*cked the family up
And every time I hold him I'm just breakin down
You're my baby boy I hold you down and say it proud
Even if I'm not around I'll always be around
Prisoner inside his mind I do this just to bail you out
Are you still wit me
Are you gonna witness while I do it for my city
She said what's the deal really

Are you still wit me
Will you still keep it a hunnid when we hit a milli
