At the Light

Now as I look back on my past I'm thinking like damn it I've been through alot
I grew up on three different blocks, three different hoods, that meant I knuckled a lot
Niggas done tried it and came to my crib with the nonsense they disrespected
So yeah, they might have sent from my address but always made sure that they got the message
4 different schools I went Boone, prior was Lincoln, then Bartram, and Edison
Been through it all, dealt with the law so really that shit that you kicking irrelevant
Niggas be mad cause I'm better than, I would never end, I put that on sediment
Never settling for nothing lesser than the situation we already settled in
I gotta get it, this for them bitches, just mind your business when you see me come up
They gonna witness when I touch my riches how I was out early 'fore I seen the Sun up Never stood down, never bitched up, I put up my hands before I pick the gun up
But niggas ain't fighting, my city get violent, what I'm supposed to do when a fuck nigga run up
I was just trying to stack bread and provide for my people and niggas be tryna act foul for the people
I walk down this road as I'm tearing my soul so I challenge you all walk a mile in my sneakers
I had a talk in the house with the preacher, he told me just do right and God won't mislead ya
So when I see red I'm parting my ways and I recommend moses to follow the leader
Cause I know the way to the money and you can't receive a map of it from me
These bitches deceive for the love of the money and niggas'll scheme, turn your back and they gunning
That's why I really don't ask them for nothing cause niggas'll change in you all of a sudden
All I ever ask to keep it 100, all I ever ask to keep it 100

All my life I had to fight
Avoiding problems that can go and take my life
Too many smiling faces, something isn't right
Who do I turn to when I'm looking for good advise
Naw, not tonight, don't leave me at the light
Please do not tell me I don't deserve this
When I was promised some comfort and left deserted
Please do not tell me I don't deserve this
Cause I deserve it, yea

How they tryna stop my shine, when I got some stomachs to fill
And my momma stressing, she telling me go get a job and pay some of the bills
I had a vision that I was setup and I'm hoping that none of them real
Can't sleep on who closest, I gotta stay focused from sun down to sun up until
I will, overcome every barrier they try to put up to downgrade my character
My foot on their neck I ain't sparing them I don't know why they thinking they compare with him, uh
You witnessing me in my element plotting with metal to bury em
They looking they thinking I'm scared of em, really I don't have a care for em
Nigga is parasites, the few of my real niggas left either upstate or paradise
Wish they were here tonight but apparently the streets a casino that come with a pair of dice
Better prepared to fight and I got some sucka niggas hating on a player they can't bear the sight
But I'm not the stereotype I'm more of a backup on bearing type
And I know my miranda rights, so I cannot fold under pressure
I'm shining like coal under pressure they know that I'm next up
But I'm being humble and staying committed I'll know it get better
Had to cut these groupie bitches off, these hoes be too extra

All my life I had to fight
Avoiding problems that can go and take my life
Too many smiling faces, something isn't right
Who do I turn to when I'm looking for good advise
Naw, not tonight, don't leave me at the light
Please do not tell me I don't deserve this
When I was promised some comfort and left deserted
Please do not tell me I don't deserve this
Cause I deserve it, yea

All my life I had to fight
Avoiding situations jeopardizing life
Too many smiles around me, something isn't right
Who do I turn to when I'm looking for good advise
Naw, not tonight, don't leave me at the light
Please do not tell me I don't deserve this
When I was promised some comfort and left deserted
Please do not tell me I don't deserve this
Cause I deserve it, yea
