(Ayy)
Mama always said, pray for the best, expect the worst
Don't make promises if you go back on your word
If you're doing it rock, you've got be willing to work
Hit a search and grab the dash, gotta get to it first
See, I grew up in church
But I had devils in my ears saying, f*ck it
Controlling my young mind like a puppet
Had me skipping school, ditchin' satties in the alley as a youngin'
Never a boss, bruh, I was runnin' (ayy)
Started runnin' bud just to get paid
Now bros got beef, I gotta run wit a blade
See my blood get got, and that's when my heart changed
Took a couple L's, but that's part of the game
Live and learn, take it how it comes
And if it kicks off, brother don't run
I was taught from young, that I'd get caught up in the system
Didn't listen, and that's how I got done
See, I'm just tryna make a living lad, and just do me
Nah, I ain't stopping 'til they set me free (uh)
We stand firm to the word FTP
Prayin' for somebody to rescue me (ayy)
Train hard, my brother, and stay staunch
Listen, don't be another victim lost to the system
And you'll be eetswa when they come to meet ya
And say my uso, welcome to prison" (ayy)
Free my brothers in the yard and that
Can't wait 'til they all come back, 'til they all come back
ONEFOUR, part of the gang
2-7, where my heart is at, where my heart is at
We chop dogs too easy, got locked up too easy
And now I'm on T.V
I bet it burns 'em to see me walk
They'd rather see me between these walls (ayy)
Yeah we should always expect the worst, hope for the best
Keep 'em close if you know they're down for a stretch
They call us ball runners with the utmost respect
Well known in the system, there's not much of us left
You're also got the common snitch, biggest bitch
A dog that couldn't take the pressure for what he did
The lowest of lowest that you can get as a crim
Have 'em leveled with the rest of 'em down in protection
Separated from the rest of us
'Cause our instincts always got the best of us
Paranoid, thinking now there's no one left to trust
Don't get me wrong, the boys in here still don't give a f*ck
But why he's acting sus'
Heard them fellas over there, tryna take me for an Inner spray
Eetswa, I'm just gonna chill and wait
F*ck waitin' another day
Pull up to his cell, give him hell
I want all you got
Put inside this pillowcase and don't forget your dinner tray (ayy)
See, I'm just tryna make a living lad, and just do me
See, I ain't stopping 'til they set me free
We stand firm to the word FTP
Prayin' for somebody to rescue me (uh)
Train hard, my brother, and stay staunch
Listen, don't be another victim lost to the system
Then you'll be eetswa when they come to meet ya
And say my uso, welcome to prison (ayy)
Free my brothers in the yard and that
Can't wait 'til they all come back, 'til they all come back
ONEFOUR, part of the gang
2-7, where my heart is at, where my heart is at
We chop dogs too easy, got locked up too easy
And now I'm on T.V
I bet it burns 'em to see me walk
They'd rather see me between these walls (ayy)
