V1: I rap about the life I lead/ chillen wit my older brothers in spot by the age of 3/ by the age of 5 I knew the code of the streets/ I knew to keep my mouth shut don’t talk to police/ I knew not to snitch/ smoked my first blunt by the age of 6/ youngest nigga on the block posted hugging the strip/ so it’s no surprise/ that/ by the age of 9/ I had my team up committing my own crimes/ first crime/ B&E high point university/ we did it just to do it we ain’t have no real purpose b/ it wasn’t the money it wasn’t the merchandise/ it was the thrill the game the experience was out of sight/ that was our thing man we kept hitting schools/ we ran up in central, griffin, and Andrews/ but up in Andrews is wear things went wrong/ I got caught up next thing you know the bracelets was on/ face down/ on the ground /getting read my rights/ looked up and seen them blue and red flashing lights/
HOOK:
V2: at age 12 shoot I tried the hustling thing/ but yo I couldn’t do it that just wasn’t my thing/ I made my money roben hustlers/ busting them things/ stick up kid I wasn’t meant to serve up them fiends/ cause when the gun was in my hand man it felt like apart of me/ it felt like um it felt like a heart to me/ so I kept It beaten like a healthy heart ought to be/ it was like the light that lit up the darkest streets/ so young so much so fast/ wit only one thing on my mind get cash/ all I cared about was paper man forget swag/ same dingy black hoodi and 6ers fitted hat/ I was a taki lil nigga/ that got happy wit the trigga/ had a pocket full of money attitude of a killer/ but I kept my shit quiet you neva would have known/ the lil nigga wit the nappy plats walked with the chrome/ the lil nigga wit the nappy plats was caking all along/ got damn that ill nigga getting money on his own/ for real

V3: I rap about the guns I tote/ weed I smoke/ rap about the drugs I’ve sold/ cars I stole/ I always been a ryder man I ain’t neva choke/ always been a hustla I ain’t neva been broke/ on the grind dice games/ made nice change/ hit the block goons lurking when late night came/ roben everything we see get money nah mean/ we ain’t care who you was you got it if u was seen/ 4 real a bunch of bad lil niggas on the street/ sledge hammer weapon of choice if I aint have the heat/ and if I aint have the heat I’ll bludgeon you quick/ and if I did have the heat I’ll put a slug in ya shit/ a quite lil nigga mostly kept to myself/ constantly contemplating plotin on tryna get wealth/ tryna get paid/ tryna make it open the gate/ only 16 and already duckin the raids/ it’s messed up when police already know ya face/ know ya name/ police already know ya game/ so either way it go i gotta watch ya moves/ cause u neva the only one watchen u/ 4 real
