[English]

That's called energy

It's understood without words

...

I love where I come from

I love where I'm goin'

I love where I've been

I appreciate it all, uh

I prayed for this moment, thank you, Lord, I'm truly grateful

I'm doin' numbers I can't tell, I'm off these major labels

Stick to my truth and mind my business, that's my human nature

Soul saver, game changer, I'm the biggest stepper

Married man, business man, see that's two different levels

Seven figures on the low, but I'm your humble servant

My kids straight, but I get hatred from the ones who birthed 'em

I ain't trippin', still tippin' with the gift of gab

My struggle deep, my spirit guides got me pickin' scabs

We livin' lav', me and wifey just been keepin' tabs

See, we got options, ain't no toxic, we remove the mask

I see you clear, I see your fear, I done been insecure, you feel that?

Yeah, Ace

It's me

The Butcher comin', nigga

Yeah

I spent my teens pushin' weight rock-hard

I served clean at the streets, had to rate five stars

But I spent my 20s upstate, got charged

Starin' out my cell window, watchin' raindrops fall

Niggas put out wack shit, and y'all tell me I should be nervous?

That shit sound funny like Omarion in the Verzuz

How the feds get a nigga to rat and burden his kids?

And the nigga he told on release date be earlier than his?

Uh, yeah, latex gloves when I boil dope

'Cause I ain't tryna get all your coke on this royal oak

Call us old-heads and ask, "Do I find it annoying?", no

'Cause the more you've been through, lil' nigga, the more you know, mmm

...

Love, uh

Photographic memory, paint a hustler picture vivid (I do)

It's glorified on the outside, but it's fucked up when you live it (Man)

Interrogation rooms with tough guys, turn timid

Turn witnesses, switch on the whole gang, like they was never in it

I never went to science class, but my role models was chemists

Hottest out, regardless, if they don't post it on Akademiks (it don't matter)

Learn to pitch without a mound, I brought my team to the pendant (I did)

How you speakin' on this game and you barely been in the scrimmage?

Window to my soul is tinted, ain't no seein' through me

And in the minds, you think it's love, but I don't see it, groupie

You start to think you Scarface, after you see the movie

'Cause Alijandro sent a fleet of hitters, squeezin' Uzis, it's Blanco, man (boom)

That's the uncomfortable truth

It's understood

Uh

Blindfolded in the darkness, how I find the light?

How I rise and they surprised? It seem like overnight

Black queen by my side, I didn't see Chyna Whyte

Sippin' pinot gris, she deserve the best in life

Fuck the cost, she want a boss, we don't fisher price

We at the villa, just takin' pictures, we super fine

Blessings from above, how could I not give thanks?

I'm breakin' chains in my family, ain't no reform slaves

We gon' fight through all that trauma, get a grip on things

I was raised in a world where men don't cry out pain

We respond by gettin' bricks to heal our poverty shame

Gain a world with happiness, just can't exist in that frame, I know you feel that

...

Forgive me for bein' transparent and honest

We gotta rise

...
