I said I think about the life that I could've had I think about the ugly, and the good and bad And even though I shouldn't brag I knew these dark days wouldn't last Only the strong survive We played in the dark While you niggas ran inside My peoples prayed in the dark With tears running down their eyes Never thought I'd have to loosen my family ties Niggas became sellouts shit still ain't sellable Was here forever, dog my kind is indelible It's Christmas for whoever I give this present to Knew she was a demon but the head was angelical Could put her on a pedestal, but see that's not my scheme Can't put you first baby, I'm not Jaheim I'm the type to put you on to some crazy shit and you'll love it But still hide from you if I see you out in public I remember hopping them crooked fences Made y'all niggas look defensive I don't rock designer still look expensive Made it light and I ain't even have to try It's like I always had the wings just had to learn how to fly Got these broke niggas sick of me now I walk away with the victory smile Like get your weight up No coming back don't try to wait up We getting to the money while you niggas laid up So why hate us? Like OSS it's best to stay home Put change in my women like pay phones, I'm in a safe zone Classics under my belt, just call me the Greystone We can't talk if we ain't speaking in the same tone You fucking with an OG Have y'all niggas on ice quicker than Willie O'Ree Make sure you kill this shit - that's what my momma told me I used to starve now I'm getting to that poultry With gritty eyes, I'll make sure the city give me mines Letting off two like someone faulted in a 55 Gotta try everything until I know it works Was never greedy but I know my worth I said I think about the life that I could've had I think about the ugly, and the good and bad And even though I shouldn't brag I knew these dark days wouldn't last No tug of war but we pulling fast I said I think about the life that I could've had I think about the ugly, and the good and bad Foot on the gas, you niggas looking sad Should've cooked your ass Life's a joke but see, you couldn't laugh
