Network

Remember runnin' the stage, askin' why we ain't the ones hostin' all the artists
Took that ambition then we got to hustlin', really just gettin' the business started
How you go from flippin' grams
To buildin' brick by brick with your bare hands
That's the shit I'm tryna understand
Gotta wonder if it's all God's plan

Either way I stay straight on the low though, cash in the flow so I could feed fam'
Been dolo past couple years now it's partnerships to let the business expand
See you gotta think with a mindstate
Bigger than yourself, what's a crime to the crime rate?
Yea I know we all tryna vibrate
Why not take a lil' time, get your mind straight
They be on the screen tryna blind you
From the front and from the side and from behind you
Better research that label tryna sign you
Before they get your name and legally bind you
That's in the fine print, gettin' like five
While they take ten off the top and put the rest to the side
Tell me then how it feel to get taken for a ride
Started underground, independent 'til I die
Hope my descendants take pride in the work that I put in for the tribe
I ain't have a father, only thing he ever did for me was put me on this earth
So I could go and get mine
Big difference in those who got it handed to 'em
And the ones who had no option but to get it through the grind
I ain't hatin' on nobody but I'll tell you this
You be pressed tryna find another wit' the same hunger inside

Came from the dirt, addiction, abuse, reminisce when I ride, glad to be alive
Homies gon' change like the tide
They just ridin' the wave, so it really shouldn't be no surprise
Used to put in time for the pay, now they pay for my time
You can see the change in my shine
Homies in the bay, homies in LA, homies in the chi
That's the network built from a dime
