What up, youngin'? I see you gunnin'
Got 'em runnin', nephew don't give a fuck about a curfew
He'll murk you and hurt you
'Cause to him, you know, life is not a virtue
Talk fast as he walk past
Roll his eyes, don't give a fuck about your advice
What you want? 'Cause he gotta go
Bring your ass over here, nigga
And listen to the O

So they won't come investigate you

It's game involved
I was spitting game when you was in your daddy's balls
I'm buttoned up, I'm polished and I'm crispy
Shut the fuck up and listen to me
After I give you this game, you can rewind (you can rewind)
I was your age, you ain't never been mine
I was raised in a cage in the middle of the octagon (octagon)
When we'd squab it out and chuck 'em, fuck a gun (fuck a gun)
It was a time in my life when I was young and dumb (young and dumb)
Turned my life around when I had my first son
When I was growing up, we hustled for the change (for the change)
Wasn't big on snatchin' chains and we was wrong for selling 'caine

I used to be the same way that you is
Until my homie took me 'round to a get down, sit down
Listen for a second, check it for the record
Put the needle on the wax, that's a whole new perspective
Selective with my objective, 'cause I'ma keep you protected
Every step that you step with
I'ma callin' plays like Leftwich
It ain't how you came, it's how much game you left with
My lesson's effective, see, 'cause your life is invested
In how you get tested, domestic, trust this
Your big homeboy did faced up
New shoes, nephews, I'll keep you laced up

Lil' homies on the block sellin' crack
Tryna get some racks
But when they get you in that system, boy, ain't no coming back
And when you looking at the big picture
It's them folks always tryna get niggas
Even if you pimpin' or you scammin'
They wanna lock the door on you and slam it (slam it)
So they can work you like a slave
Then lock you in a cage
You ain't getting paid, why you workin' every day? (Why you workin' every day?)
You tryna get some time reduced
That's some bullshit
Nigga, I ain't lyin' to you (I ain't lyin' to you)
