Now Or Never

Yuh
It's now or never
My Heart is racing fast now, the station on the corner
Left unattended so we didn't spend a quarter
Split the brick, we don't ever let the team go empty
What I'm finna use this on? I don't know, I spent it
Kickin in whip with my baby in the passenger
Now my phone is ringing, think I needa cop a silencer
My team is on my back 'bout the music we been making

Lights are flickering, but I'ma keep on scribbling
Writing down these verses that I really stay living in
It's a weird universe, it's gracing me with discipline
But beef with me is like feeding meat to a vegan
I'ma a vet the way I feed my dogs they stay eatin'
So many songs on my phone, I gotta get to leakin'
With what I'm driving in, why you thinking I'm tweakin'?

Never that, pushing P's an understatement
Past is in the future, I'm just racking in my other payment
Pull up at the function late, but I'ma say that fashion made it
So what?
My skin is white but I'm the darkest in it
The Feds been chasing me, let em' know I never did it
And I'm the illest with my words, like I'm the sickest with it

This a skill I was born with
Like it's in the bloodline
The way that I get this
You'd think I could read minds
But really I write lines
Granted all the things that I'm wishing, the stars align
I'm getting mine while you thinking how to be like me
But ain't no me like me
This is light work, I am just a different breed
Yuh, aye
I grew up on streets, I had to hustle, learn the lingo
Messin' with the team on court, shooting singles
The dice rolling, concrete, land 'double cinco'
Chico getting mad, had to ditch it 'for he reload
These are memories I can't erase
I welcome it with warm embrace
My head hit the pillow, and I'm haunted by a scary face

But it's mine
It's in between the lines
And the chain around my neck keep me choking but it's icy
Likely, I'm just doing what's best
I'm that boy from the west but now I'm chilling on the Southside
And I got enemies that call themselves friends
But what's a friend really, when they wanna see you dead?
It's time for the offering, now pass around the plate
I'm just tryna make it home, tryna hit first base
But I'm running from my home, and I got no where to go
So I spit this off the dome tryna find my way
It's now or never
