Intro

(Cash walked down this beat, uh)

Melvin Street, me skippin' school, I know my dreams died on the block
Melvin Street, rent was due, I was outside catchin' all the pots
Melvin baby, I never knew the feelin' of me havin' a pops
Knowin' I'm the biggest, I ain't even ask the world to give me my props
And I'm just prayin' my mama understand me
I ain't gon' say I made it until I finally get a Grammy
They gon' say I'm crazy, my life, I risk and I chance it

All these millions I stacked up, they don't mean nothin' to me
The ones I started with ain't here, lost some, that meant somethin' to me
Feel like we fallin' out of touch, we losin' our chemistry, baby
I'm drunk on love, I'd rat on my emotions on how you play me
Losin' myself in the streets, it's too late to find me
Shootouts on the block, back to back, I'm the one behind it
You don't know the feelin' of feelin' down and feelin' low
You don't know the feelin' of makin' pallets on the floor
Walkin' on the stage, light flashin', the cameras at me
Wishin' I could make a call to Heaven for my dog to come and grab me
I'm way too anti-social for me to be a star
Drill Ace and pain Ace, I can't tell them two apart
They prayin' my life gon' end when I'm just waitin' for it to start
They tried block my shot so much, I'm shinin' in the dark, yeah
