[Verse 1]
These niggas is smokin' crack through a Brillo pad
I'm more of a cigarillo man
I'm more send 'em out than get 'em in
The bitter truth harder to swallow than some cinnamon
We all immigrants to this matrix we livin' in
I been practicin' discipline and preachin' the same
Shootin' off the hip, I ain't even gotta pull it and aim
What did you gain from behavin' that way?
From imitatin' the snakes, these just the breaks, I been breakin' away
Makin' a change, I never thought I'd be this old, I ain't been thinkin' the same
I ain't been feelin' the same
I'm done playin' the games that I was playin', insane what I was thinkin'
The pain had mе defeated
Movin' dеsperate in the desert, devil tested, got the better of me
My adolescence dealt with questions that was bigger than me
As a result I couldn't help but start belittlin' me
The worst kind of betrayal, my enemy was in me
Now that's a catch twenty-two, either you lose or lose
Had me confused what to do, I literally caught the blues and started runnin'
[Interlude]
Yeah, ayy, yeah
And I ran with it, yeah, ayy
I was taught to be a man and understand
That you don't never throw a stone and hide your hand like your mans did it
Mama, that man different, yeah
Like the drummer with the dreads, I was posted on the ave
With some cash, two sticks, and a can with it
Mama, that man different, uh
Yo, ayy
Yo, ayy
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Maharishi layers, I'm forever player, cup look like the Lakers
Hoes been playin' favorites, I know I'm the favorite
Know I'm heavily favored, I got all kinda flavors
I been elevated, but I took the stairs, ain't take the elevator
I seen niggas waitin', knew that I ain't have the patience
They ain't never seen 'em take it where I'm 'bout to take it
They ain't never seen 'em make it out of where I made it
Ain't nobody famous, when I made it lock, I felt like Kurt Angle
But I'm Antawn Jamison off the Jameson
Eight-ball in my sock, lookin' like Pete Davidson
Best custy on the block lookin' like Pete Davidson
