Mama said to keep your head high (look)
Rest in peace to all them dead guys
Ain't no stopping at no red lights (look)
I know how to make the block shine
I know how to do what you like (look)
Left me dead up on the inside
Niggas saying I don't do nice (look)
Call me anything that you like
Never done
I was told to work never had no fun
I was growing up in the streets now I'm in the field clutching on a gun
In the shade never seen the sun
Met a girl saying she the one
Got a cold heart, hadda restart
Now I'm back where we had begun
I know niggas change
I know niggas switching up on the gang
Spent they whole life in the cell when came out shit ain't stay the same
Had a block party made it rain
How it feel stuck up in the pain
I've been living life on the edge tryna make it out tryna get the fame
Tryna make the doe
Tryna make that money wanna see it grow
I know niggas snitching for the cheese
Wanna be some rats never let it show
I'm a steppa keep it on the low
Got some problem never let em know
Tryna love hard but I've been scared and I'll never trust another hoe
Never trust the gang
Knife in my back gun to my brain
They don't wanna see me win I don't come last I just make gains (I just wanna make the gains)
Got depression running through my veins
Never living life full of shame
This the last one I'm ever showing love so nobody else share the blame
Mama said to keep your head high (look)
Rest in peace to all them dead guys
Ain't no stopping at no red lights (look)
I know how to make the block shine
I know how to do what you like (look,)
Left me dead up on the inside
Niggas saying I don't do nice (look)
Call me anything that you like
