[English]

To accept charges (Yeah)

And consent to this recorded call (Gari, chop that shit up)

Press one to-, thank you for using Securus (DeepHartt beats)

You may start the conversation now

Yo (Yung Shad, you killed this track)

What it is, man? You good?

Yeah, dog, motherfucking vibing, man

I'm in New York right now tryna lay this bitch down

(Hey, Track, you ran off with this one)

I'm straight up out the slums

Comin' straight up out the slums

Comin' straight up out the slums

A lot of people don't make it where I'm from

I wanted deep pockets, instead, I got a deep heart

I play in hands, I was thrilled, I never switch cars

I get emotional every time I think about my parents

Never cared 'bout comin' first 'cause I was built to last

They stay the strongest when you at your lowest

Never made excuses, won't ever show it

Givin' all I got, I'm goin' all in

I'm takin' on a loss and turnin' in a win

Straight up out the slums

I'm straight up out the slums

Comin' straight up out the slums

A lot of people don't make it where I'm from

Straight up out the slums

A long way where we come

Straight up out the slums

We're all waitin' from the slums

I'll wait, now I got them callin'

It be the ones you really love you gotta question

Never give up on yourself 'cause it's a time thing

And stay down 'til you shine, it's gon' fall in

Be the one you count on, don't let 'em count you out

And throw away your fears, don't even speak it out your mouth

And when they throwin' stones, pick it up and build a house

And never keep your head down, belief gon' come with doubt

Before this shine ten, now the ten you go through rain

And tell me what's joy if you never experienced pain

Championship dreams come and work during the season

I can't forget goal when you make it and start sleeping

And Melly, you a hero I just wanna let you know

To see you hold it down in a cell, man, you the GOAT

Until you get home, I keep a phone for me to pick up

And being your big brother

One of the things that I'm proud of (I love you)

I'm straight up out the slums

Comin' straight up out the slums

Comin' straight up out the slums

A lot of people don't make it where I'm from

I wanted deep pockets, instead, I got a deep heart

I play in hands, I was thrilled, I never switch cars

I get emotional every time I think about my parents

Never cared 'bout comin' first 'cause I was built to last

They stay the strongest when you at your lowest

Never made excuses, won't ever show it

Givin' all I got, I'm goin' all in

I'm takin' on a loss and turnin' in a win

Straight up out the slums

I'm straight up out the slums

Comin' straight up out the slums

A lot of people don't make it where I'm from

Straight up out the slums

A long way where we come

Straight up out the slums

We're all waitin' from the slums
