Until I Crash

Tell me how I stayed on my path
Tell me how I never seemed to stray off them tracks
Ask me why my soul ain't never break cuz it's cracked
My nigga look me in my face and please explain why it's laxed

I been through tragedies
Gravity never stayed off my back
I had to carry my family
Since my stepdaddy passed
A nigga actually had to be both a kid and a man
I was practically handed both of my parent's slack

I remember back one Father's Day
This man I knew from round the way
Slid me like a hunned bucks
And told me Happy Father's Day
Told me that he noticed every Sunday I'm at church
Wit my younger siblin's sittin' in them pews to hear the word
And I was hurt

Grateful for his love don't get me twisted
Guess that I was hurt cuz I was lame at raisin' children
Yeah I'd take em wit me
But I'm only they bro
They need they momma and they father
I was trash at them roles

But here's a toast to better days because I finally got em
Found a wife at 21 and left my momma's apartment
We was broke ain't have no change
And we was surfin' on couches
But the pain we had to take was for today cuz we grounded

Ain't a moment I would change in this story this here is glorious
Half of it was for me
The other half's for my audience
Niggas tell they stories but stretch the truth like accordions
For me it's mandatory I tell the youth nothin more than this

These niggas chasin' fame they want the sponsors
But claim they bringin' change and that they got us
I think these niggas fake and they imposters
I be scrollin' through they page to read the praises in they comments
And it's lame how they responsive to celebrities dawg
But ignorin' all they fans that put them right where they are
All these niggas do is take
But see I take out my heart
And give right to all my people, I respond to em all

My niggas Ammo, Luigi Pablo they got me on call
My boy Malik is a pillar reason my conscious evolves
My nigga Reece is like 17 and he know all my songs
I've known him longer than my wife and still ain't linked up at all
You see I'm...

I'm here to run my course until I crash
I know the day I die they'll feel my legacy impact
My niggas round the world they bang my songs because they slap
Because I package em wit knowledge
That these rappers know they lack
And that's a fact
