[00:23.58]I came from drop tops and old school Chevy's
[00:26.92]**** boys rollin' through, *******ttin' on ya heavy
[00:29.85]Fifteens in the trunk beatin' down your block
[00:32.73]Only 4 years old when Biggie got shot
[00:35.63]I remember playing on the block, hanging on the block
[00:38.86]Young *****s slanging on the block, getting off them rocks
[00:41.83]Now we livin' better now, Coogi sweater now
[00:44.56]Weather still getting colder, we could change the weather now
[00:47.55]But I...
[00:48.21]Came up in criminal days
[00:49.25]Living these criminal ways, what can I say
[00:51.08]Hugging the block every day
[00:52.23]Grindin' and making a way
[00:53.29]At night I pray for better days
[00:55.37]That it don't be the same tomorrow
[00:56.88]Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle
[00:59.16]And say
[01:00.06](Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

[01:32.96]This cold world can rot you if you let it
[01:35.69]Now I'm out here tryna get it, really out here tryna get it
[01:38.68]Always knew that I would make it, maybe it was so prophetic
[01:41.75]Cause I came from the bottom and the humblest beginnings
[01:44.63]From the youngest ***** grindin' to the youngest ***** winning
[01:48.01]Came up in criminal days
