It ain't nothing I want more
Ain't nothing I want more
I ain't c-
I told you
when I first came here
I said I ain't come here
to waste my time
I came here
They gave us a chance to get in
like we asked for
And that's
that's what we here to do
Yeah nigga 26
The job still ain't done
Straight up
But I I said You you know
what I'm here for
Back on top punchin' the clock
clutchin' sanity
I got more cribs than Habitat
for Humanity
Shit profound
we propagating more profanity
Paid off collections from
recollections of calamity
Oh shit look
that nigga gonna shoot
The shit pop off I learned to
duck under the canopy
Oh shit run nigga run
'Til it cool off they murked
a nigga right in front of me
Told him to come off his chain
for tryna floss
Died over a cross
just like the start of
Christianity
When I was a boy
the teacher often
reprimanded me Jermaine
Thought it was toys
it was a Glock
this nigga handed me
I busted the trees
was barely strong
enough to squeeze
Bullets traveled through leaves
it probably killed
somebody randomly
Ran in the crib
and played it off
amongst the family
Nightmare scenes the police
finally apprehended me
Woke up screamin'
seen a demon had
his hand on me
Still sport the scar on my arm
from where he branded me
Like a Que Dog my niggas
burnin' with the mute off
Loud pack smoke
through the cracks
I catch a contact
Triggerin' a paranoid mindset
now I'm back
Teeterin' between enlightened
and insanity
Now that I'm rich
I feel nobody understandin' me
All I can do is cut the mic on
holler at you
Can't let the fame scare me off
from speaking candidly
All them niggas is so Kane
they started singin' like Danity
Now I'm left here
paid like I planned to be damn
A lot of times those situations
are um are handled way
before the time comes
In the summer
I think when you truly
prepare yourself and
With training and conditioning
and things like that
When you cheat yourself
you fail in those moments
You know you crash
and when you really
put the time in and
Whether people see it
or whether people know it or not
You know it always come to light
