Once upon a time in the hood
When I was a shorty wild and misunderstood
I kept my friends close
And my enemies closer
Your right hand man could also be the one who snakes ya
Jealous Ones Envy
Fat Joe said it best
They stab you in the back
Or smile and put it in your chest
This lifestyle is stress
Anticipate the hate
Sleep is the cousin of death
So I'm awake
I was looking for better
But sometimes better is never
Two things don't mix
That's success and cheddar
In any weather
Some homies hating
I was anticipating
They foul scowl
Jealousy the fragrance
Wait till you they see the Ranges
I'm laughing at their anguish
I had a few friends but those relationships are tainted
I just wanted the feeling
Of making my first million
Since my uncle had the poster of the paper on the ceiling
I wanna break the barriers bondage holding me back
If it ain't Land Rovers it's Cyber Trucks back to back
With a mid century modern ranch
Sitting in the hills
If the wild fires catch it first shit is real
I'm anticipating a bigger bag
Building a legacy from the block
Opportunity up for grab
Just to think it came from standing on the ave
Looking over my shoulder for the crabs
Trying to stab
Once upon a time in the hood
When I was a shorty wild and misunderstood
I kept my friends close
And my enemies closer
Your right hand man could also be the one who snakes ya
Jealous Ones Envy
Fat Joe said it best
They stab you in the back
Or smile and put it in your chest
This lifestyle is stress
Anticipate the hate
Sleep is the cousin of death
So I'm awake
