Ghetto Raised

Aye, really came up from the bottom
I had to turn nothing to something
Nobody gave me nothing
I was raised in the ghetto
They checking me out for the list
Cause they thought I wouldn't be nothing
Homocide on the corner when police come riding
On the block I just tell em Ian see nothing
That's the code of the street we in
I lose my mind when the beat begin
Missing my daughter Ian seen her in like six months
Working so hard ion even get a sick day off
I been on focus Ian worried bout shining
Long as the rent paid off
I'm in my own lane
You can play if you want
Send a shooter you gon get him knocked off
I do my own thing
And they see me grinding
Now they bout to see me take off

Hop in the whip and I'm swerving slow motion
I hop in that whip and I'm sipping on potion
I jumped in that field and got active no coaching
I jumped in that water got active no ocean
You already know ain't no tipping me over
I'm limping cause all of this weight on my shoulder
Be happy but half of the time Ian sober
It hurt me I seen my dawg turn to a cobra
I'm knowing my way like I been here for days
They say I react like I been in a cage
I'm not in a rush but I bid in a race
I cannot survive off no minimum wage
They got us off trap
We stuck in a maze
They say that I rap
I'm stuck in a daze
They know that you cap
I'm really getting paid
You play with me now
Then I'm jumping off stage
Load it up quick we gon slide on a big opp
We gon hit him up since he think he a big shot
Everybody getting stepped on like flip flops
Running from the killers you can never make a pit stop
Every door closed so you know we used to pick locks
Drug dealers made it look good so we flip rocks
Couldn't play ball cause you know I was a drop out
So I hit the studio with Dre then I popped out
Had a nine to five for the summer ima rock out
I was writing songs till I clocked out
I can still see the vision when I hit the lights out
Barber still popping Ian got clout
Everybody hating but they know I'm on the right route
I keep that thing on the night out yea
They did us dirty y'all don't know about that
Then covered it up like it's white out yea
They got them bodies on bodies on bodies
Like YB I'm focused on stopping the violence
I told em to put the guns down and get knowledge
I told em ain't nothing wrong with going to college
I told em if you wrong then send yo apologies
I got a feeling you gon see a lot of me
Really I'm dead I'm just living off prophecy
If you can feel it then

Come from the bottom
I had to turn nothing to something
Nobody gave me nothing
I was raised in the ghetto
They checking me out for the list
Cause they thought I wouldn't be nothing
Homocide on the corner when police come riding
On the block I just tell em Ian see nothing
That's the code of the street we in
I lose my mind when the beat begin
Missing my daughter Ian seen her in like six months
Working so hard ion even get a sick day off
I been on focus Ian worried bout shining
Long as the rent paid off
I'm in my own lane
You can play if you want
Send a shooter you gon get him knocked off
I do my own thing
And they see me grinding
Now they bout to see me take off
