[Intro] My nigga Trey, how you doing young king? I'm good, how about you family? I'm good, man, I heard you got some questions for me Yes sir! X, I wanna know, you been through hella, how does it feel in this point now? Man, that a good ass question, okay
[Verse 1] I was born on a clear night, no clouds, no rain At Methodist Hospital, I gave her no pain Baby symbol with no mane I was young and hard headed so that would fasho change Momma said I was destined to be a scholar and a king When I was just a little boy without a dollar and a dream On the South Side of Sac Town, we never backed down There's a war going on outside, call it Iraq, now Riding bikes through The Gardens in the summertime Had to run from the cops over a hundred times Innocent, lost, we started hanging out Used to throw the hands 'til the shots started ringing out First blood drawn, retaliation is a must Encouraged to do dirt, putting opp's in the dust Momma sent me to Texas, it was a timeout But they was just like Cali, pulling them nines out
[Chorus] I been through ups and downs tryna touch the crown I been so high, I thought I'd never touch the ground I did things that I regret, I feel disgusted now That was along time ago, why discuss it now? I found peace, it's time to dust it now My mind traumatized, I can't even trust it now Blessed to see the type of money I been touching now Foreign whips, never catch me in a bucket now, no
[Verse 2] Sent to Alabama, thinking it was better Spend time with my father but rarely saw him if ever It was warm outside but I was cold in a sweater 'Cause my house was not a home, we were lonely together Eating eggs and baloney together My childhood was filled with the stormiest weather Black cloud everywhere I went Got rained on, it didn't matter where I'd sit Took that trauma back to Sac with me Forgive me momma but I had to keep that strap with me When they locked the homies up, the Blocc was sad with me Standing ovations when they came home to clap with me That was a awful psychology I offer this apology sincerely cause I hope you can adapt with me I need the little homies to embrace this life fact with me It's a marathon, not a sprint, run a lap with me
[Chorus] I been through ups and downs tryna touch the crown I been so high, I thought I'd never touch the ground I did things that I regret, I feel disgusted now That was along time ago, why discuss it now? I found peace, it's time to dust it now My mind traumatized, I can't even trust it now Blessed to see the type of money I been touching now Foreign whips, never catch me in a bucket now, no
[Outro] Knowing you're influencing people, even people from your block and helping them grow, does it feel like you got that crown now? Man, my sensation is that it's a whole lot of crowns out here, it's a whole lot of kings out here and the bottom line is that everybody got the right to pursue their greatness, and so my hope is that I could be a source of motivation for other people that's watching everything that I been through, everything I survived and they could take that and uh understand that they got a opportunity to be able to move forward too. They could overcome anything they been through, they could overcome any mistake they made, they not defined by their history, they not defined by their past, by their mistakes. You defined by the way you got it up, shook it off and kept it moving and at the end of the day that's what you gon be remembered for, much loveTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
