[ Featuring Mello ]
I was alone on the block
Working in trouble
I stood alone with the glock
Worked with the muscle
But now I'm good on top
Cause' nobody was there
When I struggled and persevered
I was alone chasing passion but protected my wealth
Fell in love with the moonlight when I projected my wealth
Back then we rapped about the kind of cars we would cop
The models we'd pop all the stores and malls we would shop
I was local but my focus got me noticed by my vocals
Hoping that my broken heart would open doors to going global
Antisocial as a juvenile didn't want my crew to wild
Stealing twizzlers and them butterfingers with a foolish smile
I had to relax when all the bad times hit
Tried to find my mind but time could not rewind it
Escape to a place with the freshest of Mary Jane
Regardless of who bought it just really happy you came
Fell in love with the struggle cause' my troubles kept me grounded
While yall was trying to make it rain I was trying to drown it
And dumbfounded by the standard which can peel the very fabric
Of the conscious that you cherish so share it with the masses
I was alone on the block
Working in trouble
I stood alone with the glock
Worked with the muscle
But now I'm good on top
Cause' nobody was there
When I struggled and persevered
I was alone on the block
Working in trouble
I stood alone with the glock
Worked with the muscle
But now I'm good on top
Cause' nobody was there
When I struggled and persevered
Take my hand as I guide you but humble yourself
Travel through my minds eye where I stumbled myself
Recollect my thoughts let them manifest into my destiny
Controlled it on a telepathic level was the recipe
The blessings been bestowed upon this king
I'll open up the clouds and let the heavens sing
Ascension into better things
Created Guano Records now
They're waiting on my guidance
Dreams of signing Makaveli
Without Suge and all his violence
When a man is trying to come up don't be the one to remind him
Of his wrongdoings at the time when his vision was blinded
Persecute us for our lack of self-knowledge and our worth
He might suck at basketball but he can kill you with his verse
My kids never seen their daddy ever quit or cry
Lord willing keep living even when them bullets fly
I try to keep my people out them packed prisons
But the vision was a gift I utilize what has been given
I was alone on the block
Working in trouble
I stood alone with the glock
Worked with the muscle
But now I'm good on top
Cause' nobody was there
When I struggled and persevered
I was alone on the block
Working in trouble
I stood alone with the glock
Worked with the muscle
But now I'm good on top
Cause' nobody was there
When I struggled and persevered
