At All Costs (feat. Da'vae) Video (MV)

I was 15
When I saw em laid out
Knew the streets played out
Searching for a way out
I was 18
Tryna take big risks
Tryna be the big fish
Tryna get big chips
I was taught
That when you chasing any dream
Gotta be by any means
If you want any cream
And I was taught
That when you sell to any fiend
Gotta check out every scene
Gotta make sure that it's clean
I told my family
The man I really wanna be
Is way more than they want for me
Ain't too much that they want from me
Just leave a garden for my seed
Help fulfill my people's needs
Reminisce in times of grief
And when I'm gone
When I'm gone
But when I'm gone
When I'm gone
I hope you know that through it all
I stayed strong
I hope they know that every f*ck up
I tried to make us luck up
While dodging when them sticks up
I'm so glad that they missed us
Before I touched a blue check
I had to go and verify
What kinda man I wanna be
What kinda man they want from me
Just what else do they want from me
Man, what else do they want from me
What else do they want from me
I don't know
Before I touched a blue check
I had to go and verify
What kinda man I wanna be
What kinda man they want from me
Just what else do they want from me
Cuz mi a GT
De think they cyan reach me
Yuh eyes pass meh
All aya pickney
I grew up eating roti
I ain't worried bout my bread
I'm in Southside Queens
I'm from South Ruimveldt
Best of both worlds
All the things I've felt
Reclaim em from the past
All the things I've left
Elizabeth's Son
The favored one
The GT Boy
Now look what we've done
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
I hope you know that through it all
I stayed strong
