[00:23]I came from drop tops and old school Chevy's
[00:27]**** boys rollin' through, *******ttin' on ya heavy
[00:30]Just came in the trunk beatin' down your block
[00:32]Only 4 years old and Biggie got shot
[00:36]I remember playing on the block, hanging on the block
[00:39]Young *****s slanging on the block, getting off them rocks
[00:41]Now we livin' better now, Gucci sweater now
[00:44]Weather still getting colder, we could change the weather now
[00:48]Came up in criminal days
[00:49]Living these criminal ways, what can I say
[00:50]Hugging the block every day
[00:51]Grindin' and making a way
[00:53]And that I pray, for better days
[00:54]That it don't be the same tomorrow
[00:57]Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle
[00:59]And say

[01:23]Everything good, but, everything bad
[01:26]Mama always said show thanks for what you have
[01:29]Boy never forget to realise your bad
[01:32]Just go up and grind you, if you let it
[01:35]Now I'm out here tryna get it, really out here tryna get it
[01:38]Always knew that I would make it, maybe it was so prophetic
[01:41]Cause I came from the bottom and the humbless beginnings
[01:43]From the youngest ***** grindin' to the youngest ***** wining
[01:47]Came up in criminal days
[01:48]Living these criminal ways, what can I say
[01:50]Hugging the block every day
[01:51]Grindin' and making a way
[01:52]And that I pray, for better days

[02:47]Came up in criminal days
