Song Lyrics

Shit, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, I be on a plane lookin' in the daze
I be on stage lookin' in the maze
Grandad couldn't talk back in the days
So I say a lot of things that he couldn't say
Say, young man tell it (uh)
Scream it out loud, if you gotta yell it (woo)
Straight from the source and without a edit
Say it with your chest, unapologetic
Uh, no filter, colorful enough, black
Now the only color that you ever see is green
When you look at one of us, (fact) fact
Lookin' back, you the last one standing (uh)
Board flights, lookin' forward to the landin'
While my old hood,boarded up and abandoned
Damn, everything from before, seem gone now
So I put the memories in a song now
With a melody, make 'em sing along now
I ain't thinking 'bout what a nigga wan' do
I be thinking 'bout everything I'm gon' do
New me lookin' back at the old you, just won't do

(Oh) even when the times get rough (ohh ohh)
Told myself, it was time to level up (ohh ohh ohh)
Homies used to say, "You the one" (say,"You the one, only one) (ohh ohh)
So I couldn't wait for the day to come, no, no, no, no (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Big home for the whole team
So long, tunnel vision been OD
Hope the love ain't lost
When they hit you with the dap and a, "Long time no see"
Can't help it when I'm on one
Trophies can't stop 'til I hold one (uh)
More boy lead, holdin' the ones, askin', "Let me hold some"
Try to see the world through my lens
No end, work endless
Gotta deal with a few friends
Resentment, when your hustle's relentless
I don't own this life that I'm livin' through, nah
Livin' on borrowed time, man it seem like the rent is due, nah
Og always here, watch out for the fake that fold you
All the heroes on the block, never had capes or a phone booth
Still fly though (yeah)
Still gettin' high though (yeah)
The message always was to make it and gettin' money was the motto
Showing you what I know (ohh)

(Ohh) even when the times get rough (ohh ohh ohh)
Told myself, it was time to level up (ohhh whaa ohh)
Homies used to say, "You the one"(say, "You the one, only one) (ohh ohh)
So I couldn't wait for the day to come
No, no, no no no no, no, no, no no no, no (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
