Every day that I'm alive I'ma ride with the stick
I'd rather be broke in jail than be dead and rich
Told my brothers take my breath if I turn to a snitch
But I'm 21 4L ain't no way I'ma switch
Break it down I break it down
I break it down I break it down
I break it down I break it down
I break it down I break it down
Penitentiary chances just to make a couple bucks
My heart so cold I could put it in my cup
Gang vs. the world me and my dawg it was us
Then you went and wrote a statement
And that really ****** me up
My brother lost his life and it turned me to a beast
My brother got life and it turned me to the streets
I been through the storm and it turned me to a G
But the other side was sunny I get paid to rap on beats

Break it on down I break it on down
I break it on down I break it on down
Yeah I just came from the A
I drove back home six-hour drive six-and-a-half
Before I left
I stopped by to see my n***a 21 in the studio
He had two of his kids with him right in the studio
That's when I knew
You a stand-up n***a I love seein' **** like that
Question
How many faking they streams
A lot
Getting they plays from machines
A lot
I can see behind the smoke and mirrors
N***as ain't really big as they seem
Hmm
I never say anything
Nah
Everybody got they thing
True
Some n***as make millions other n***as make memes
Hmm
I'm on a money routine
I don't want smoke I want cream
I don't want no more comparisons
This is a marathon and I'm aware
I been playing it back from a lack of promotions
I never was one for the bragging and boasting
I guess I was hoping the music would speak for itself
But the people want everything else
Okay no problem I'll show up on everyone album
You know what the outcome will be
I'm batting a thousand
It's got to the point that these rappers
Don't even like rappin' with me
**** it 'cause my n***a 21 Savage just hit me
And told me he saved me a spot on a new record he got
He call it "a lot" I open my book and I jot
Pray for Tekashi they want him to rot
I picture him inside a cell on a cot
'Flectin' on how he made it to the top
Wondering if it was worth it or not
I pray for Markelle 'cause they ****** up his shot
Just want you to know that you got it my n***a
Though I never met you I know that you special
And that the Lord blessed you don't doubt it my n***a
Dennis Smith Jr. stay solid my n***a
I'm on a tangent not how I planned it
I had some fans that hopped and abandoned ship
When they thought that I wasn't gon' pan out
I got a plan
They say that success is the greatest revenge
Tell all your friends
Cole on a mission
Cementin' the spot as the greatest that did it
Before it all ends n***a

Spiralin' up just like a rich n***a staircase
Spiral up
No fly zone please stay the **** out my airspace
Out my face
N***as say things behind backs that they wouldn't dare say
Dare say
Know it's on sight when I see you
I'm workin' at Squarespace
Yeah top of the mornin'
I know that you thought I was dormant
Woke up early from shots that were swarmin'
A block full of opps now the cops in an orbit
Guess somebody got popped now they knockin' on doors
Tryna find an informant but I ain't see Nathan
I'm mindin' my business as God is my witness
No weapon gon' prosper that's formin' against me
N***a I'm starvin' immensely
Know when I'm done with these songs
You gon' miss me
Ja Morant I'm on my Grizzly
You n***as just cubs but no
Not the ones in the big leagues
After The Fall Off
I promise I'm comin' to sellin' out Wrigley's
N***a I'm just a product of poverty
Full of narcotics to profit off quickly
My family tree got a history of users that struggle with demons
Not really the hustler instincts
Therefore often my pockets was empty
So while some of my partners was servin' up rocks on the corners
The project assemblies
Me I was startin' to envy
Wanna be on the top where it's plenty
Wanna be in the spot like where every ***** want me
Like Rihanna droppin' new Fenty
What I see in the sky the 'Ville is the ceilin'
Can't reach up too high evidently
Nah **** I can't reach up too high evidently
Never seen no one drivin' a Bentley
I can't be out here moppin' up Wendy's
My life is all I have
My rhymes my pen my pad
And I done made it out the struggle don't judge me
What you sayin' now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from
Come from
So often
So often
People you grow up with layin' in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It's my time now my world my life my life
Say what
The stuff that I've seen got me traumatized
I let the K go when Johnny died
Swangin' that muh*****' side to side
We don't participate ain't with that squashin' ****
All we believe in is homicide
I got a good heart
So I send teddy bears every time we make they mommas cry
I pray that my past ain't ahead of me
21
When I'm in love I love heavily
On God
If you betray me you dead to me
21
I disrespect you respectfully
Straight up
I got some partners who left this Earth
Maybe the pain made a better me
On God
Just know that they secrets is kept with me
On God
I feel like the streets is in debt with me
Straight up
I gave my heart away to all the dawg h*es
'Cause that's who accepted me
21
I blame my pops for that ****
'Cause if he didn't fail he could've corrected me
21
Give all the props to my momma
'Cause no matter what she always protected me
On God
I promise you it ain't no checkin' me
On God
Jump in the water get wet with me
Straight up 21 21
You want my money or wanna have sex with me
Can't let the opps or the law get the best of me
I get to answerin' you get to testin' me
I see chicken you n***as is breast to me
Planted a seed but it ain't a sesame
Can't let you n***as or ******* grow next to me
My life is all I have
My rhymes my pen my pad
And I done made it out the struggle don't judge me
What you sayin' now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from
Come from
So often
So often
People you grow up with layin' in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It's my time now my world my life my life
