[Verse: Shiloh Young & Cordae]
Alright, look, I said, I said
When I was nine, that's my first time I held a 9
Put it on God, man, that must've been a sign
[Verse: Shiloh Young & Cordae]
Alright, look, I said, I said
When I was nine, that's my first time I held a 9
Put it on God, man, that must've been a sign
Cause my mother, she was strippin', she was always on his mind
While her boyfriend, he was pimpin', he ain't have a lot of time
So he showed me where it was and showed me how to work it
Just in case a nigga run up in this bitch, gotta murk him
Thirteen, I was servin', nigga, fifteen persons
Nigga, tryna be a cocaine cowboy, Michael Irvin
Nigga, sixteen, I was deep up in the trenches, hoppin' fences
Round that time they gave my boy a life sentence
But I still ain't learn, nigga, I was tryna burn niggas
Tryna put somebody in the grave or a urn, nigga
Seventeen, police whooped my ass just for bein' Black
No talkin' silent, guys give up, where's the free in at?
Seen my uncle in the prison, shit, now it's me and that
Couldn't break the cycle, like recycle, they wan' see us back
Eighteen, lions, tigers, bears, I was livin' with 'em (Mm)
Went to prison with 'em, doin' business with 'em
I'm twenty-one, my cellmate been down for thirty-five
He just tryna see the sun before he gotta die
So why would I go and cry? Got another passion (Bitch)
You don't know the struggle, so you wouldn't understand
Cause in my book, my mama raised a man
Cause I could've snitched on the beat to get me out the can
But I could tell you what I seen or what I lived, it's up to you
Or let my brother tell the story from a bird's-eye view
[Verš: Shiloh Young & Cordae]
Dobre, pozri, povedal som, povedal som
Keď som bol deväť, to je môj prvýkrát, čo som držal 9
Dajte to na Boha, muž, ktorý musel byť znamením
Pretože moja matka, bola Strippin ', vždy bola na jeho mysli
Zatiaľ čo jej priateľ, bol Pimpin ', nemá veľa času
Tak mi ukázal, kde to bolo a ukázalo mi, ako to pracovať
Len v prípade, že nigga beží v tejto sučke, musím ho vrátiť
Trinásť, bol som Sermin ', Nigga, pätnásť osôb
Nigga, tryna byť kokaín kovboj, Michael Irvin
Nigga, šestnásť, som bol hlboko v zákopoch, hoppin 'ploty
Okrúhly čas dali môj chlapec život
Ale stále sa naučím, nigga, bol som tryna napáliť niggas
Tryna dal niekoho do hrobu alebo urn, nigga
Sedemnásť, polícia, ktorú si môj zadok práve pre BEIN "
Žiadny Talkin 'Tichý, chlapci sa vzdávajú, kde je zadarmo?
Videl môj strýko vo väzení, hovno, teraz je to ja a to
Nemohol rozbiť cyklus, ako recyklovať, wan 'vidieť nás späť
Osemnásť, levy, tigre, medvede, som bol živý, s 'em (mm)
Šiel do väzenia s 'em, obchod s' em
Som dvadsaťjeden, môj balík bol na tridsaťpäť
On len tryna uvidí slnko predtým, než musí zomrieť
Tak prečo by som išiel a plakal? Mám ďalšiu vášeň (suka)
Nepoznáte boj, takže by ste nerozumeli
Príčina V mojej knihe, moja mama zdvihla muža
Pretože som mohol naraziť na rytmus, aby som ma dostal von
Ale mohol som vám povedať, čo som videl alebo čo som žil, je to na vás
Alebo nechaj môj brat rozprávať príbeh z pohľadom z vtáčej
