Good Example

I got 3 meals on my plate this shit can turn into a handful
I been fighting through depression yea that shit get hard to handle
I could fight it off with drugs that would be an easy battle
But I can't fold up on my city I gotta set a good example
They put bullets in my brothers head I swear that that shit changed me
It's the same ones close to you that be the first ones acting shady
I can't never trust a soul don't know who really tryna play me
I pray to God for all my haters and use that shit to motivate me

I got demons in my soul, and there aint no escaping
I can't go back to no cell so on the police I be skating
Told my momma hold it down, cuz one day i'ma make it
Yea I told her hold it down, but I know she ain't got no patience
We came along way from trapping hard in the vacants
I can't work no 9 to 5 so with this rap shit gotta make it
I ain't never told my story so it's time to make my statement
Fuck a op they on some fake shit, in my lane I gotta pave it
Went from basics, and the braces, to these diamonds in my bracelet
Still the same kid to go post up on the corner where my gang is
Middle finger to the twitter fingers see me and don't say shit
I can't fake it, gotta make it, see the crown I'm bout to take it AH
You wasn't there when I was down bad
Running off on plugs you wasn't there you wasn't bout that
Ask about me in my city everybody say I run that
Went from broke to getting money stack my paper up and bounce back
I had to set a good example for the kids that be watching
All the pills they be popping, every dollar that they spend on the music they be watching
Time to set a good example before bodies keep on dropping

I got 3 meals on my plate this shit can turn into a handful
I been fighting through depression yea that shit get hard to handle
I could fight it off with drugs that would be an easy battle
But I can't fold up on my city I gotta set a good example
They put bullets in my brothers head I swear that that shit changed me
It's the same ones close to you that be the first ones acting shady
I can't never trust a soul don't know who really tryna play me
I pray to God for all my haters and use that shit to motivate me
Nobody else determines your success
Tthe only thing standing between success and you, is yourself
I got 3 meals on my plate this shit can turn into a handful
I been fighting through depression yea that shit get hard to handle
I could fight it off with drugs that would be an easy battle
But I can't fold up on my city I gotta set a good example
They put bullets in my brothers head I swear that that shit changed me
It's the same ones close to you that be the first ones acting shady
I can't never trust a soul don't know who really tryna play me
I pray to God for all my haters and use that shit to motivate me
