[English]

I'm gettin' tired of this far life

Tell me way, way out

I'm gettin' tired of the far life

Tell me way, way out

I was just goin' on the run

Way, way out

I paid them dues with my son

Movin' way, way up

Took a detour, made a re-route

Grindin' up, we don't take a day off

I stack it up, I don't take a day off

Hit the weed and the Sty', got us in the playoffs

I never switched, I knew it'd pay off

I'm absolutely, I don't take a break off

My pockets swole like they got the top blown right on your lap

Fuck all these comments, I was just sellin' crack

I blame the streets for the way I was raised

I can't get sleep with these demons behind me

Xans, they takin' over all your thoughts

You get in the way of my plans, I'ma knock you off

I'm gettin' tired of the far life

Tell me way, way out

I was just goin' on the run

Way, way out

I paid them dues with my son

Movin' way, way up

Took a detour, made a re-route

Grindin' up, we don't take a day off

I stack it up, I don't take a day off

Hit the weed and the Sty', got us in the playoffs

I never switched, I knew it'd pay off

I'm absolutely, I don't take a break off
