Is you really down to feed you fam  when everybody hungry in a mansion  

with a “M” on me like damn I be lonely But be damn if I be fucked gotta stand  

on the corner with some grams on the  corner and my aunt tryna buy some  

Flood the whole hood your fucking mom  probably try some, I’m chilling with  

a judge with a judge on me shotgun So please don’t judge me cuz all my  

homies die young and I be chasing dreams  they running nightmares where I’m from  

And it ain’t no 911 that’s somebody son son they  hit him 23 times in front his moms he a done bun  

That’s why I’m giving a verse like  this to Ka and don’t want nothing,

spot you got the wrong guy From the bottom of the bottom told my  

dogs We gonna all rise yeah we gonna all rise It’s gone be alright We made it thru
