Lyrics
Ayo, these niggas plan on destroying what I'm enjoying
I started off working for niggas, now I'm employing
I was exploited, I was a boy then
My cousin boyfriend showed me how to sell poison
My older brother showed me what a toy is
So I copped a big boy Benz on alloy rims
We was kids that ain't have choices
We had cocaine in our hand when y'all had joysticks
Did I stutter? I came a long way from pitching butter
Hallways and kitchen cupboards
It's real when you love your plug like a big brother
Now everything foreign, even my kid's mother
My daughter two and speak bilingual
Only real bosses understand my lingo
You gotta be cautious when you followed by the people
And promise not to talk about it if it's not legal
Soon as your money up, the war start
Can't be rich with a poor heart
Came up, learnt the business
My young shooter earned the privilege
Yeah, cherish and admire it
You can't wear it in the fire pit
Stay afloat, stay awoke
All of my dogs caught cases, small situations
From shootouts y'all was afraid to participate in
My heart wasn't racing, I was sparking and pacing
Fast forward, now my business partners is Caucasian
Huh, I used to live in the group home
No plate in your cell, your whole meal in a soup bowl
Yeah, now I'm getting fitted for new clothes
You can manipulate the system if you learn the loopholes
Yeah, use your mind as leverage
Ask me how I'm so wise, guess it's my genetics
I could buy a new ride from just sliding my debit
And I don't need no co-signs for credit, I'm that gangster
Soon as your money up, the war start
Can't be rich with a poor heart
Came up, learnt the business
My young shooter earned the privilege
Yeah, cherish and admire it
You can't wear it in the fire pit
Stay afloat, stay awoke
