Loyal to the Soil (feat. Lil Wayne)

That money stack tall, but only partially my focus (Yeah)

So compassionate, struggle hard for me to cope with (Yeah)

Do a lot for others, not for credit or to soak in (Uh)

But to have a impact on direction that they go in (I help)

Grounded by the roots (Roots), hooked to the soil (Soil)

Recognize the rumble that we in, yeah, it's royal

Crabs in a barrel (Barrel), wrapped up in foil (Foil)

Kids grow up, scars that are rubbed in with oil

And life done changed a bit, but I can't grow apart

For those in my position that don't feel me, grow a heart

I grew up round love, but we had a slower start (Yeah)

Hoopin' on a tree (Tree) and fightin' at the park (Park)

Lucky we had guidance (Huh), we was more blessed than others (Word)

We was the deepest family, nobody had more cousins

The street lights would flicker (Yeah), everybody runnin', no huddle

'Cause if you didn't make it, everybody got in trouble

I won't let that money define me

I let my struggles refine me

I know my angels behind me

Young, rich, and in the sticks, tryna find peace

I don't get high, and I ain't sell dope

People ask why, I did it for my folks

Wanna slice the pie, then you gotta have hope

Take the plan serious or watch it go in smoke

Watch it go in smoke

Or watch it go in smoke

Or watch it go in smoke

And I'll watch it go in smoke

Smoke, smoke

Uh, chin to the clouds, all ten on solid ground

Sippin' purple Whitney Houston, never touch the Bobby Brown

When it comes to the crown, I done dreadlocked it down

Rest in peace, my daddy, Rabbit, he in Heaven, hoppin' round

I been outchea, on the grind, I want mine on time

Keep it a hundred, not even 99.9

It's Lil Tunechi, the best rapper alive, I rep five

Invite your girl to my suite at the Loews, she left high

Oh, my, in a double R, I'm r-ready to die

My pockets fat as Precious, but what's more precious than time

'Cause life is too short, I got that from Too $hort

I couldn't ball, I was too short, but rich, like I play two sports

Flag red, like scarlet, keep my head in my wallet

Leave the b.s. in the toilet, leave the b.s. on the Charmin

With TF on my garments, I wear Trukfit like Ralph Lauren

And I'm loyal to my soil, straight from Hell, I mean New Orleans

Tunechi

I won't let that money define me (Uh)

I let my struggles refine me (Dame forward)

I know my angels behind me (Yeah)

Young, rich, and in the sticks, tryna find peace

I don't get high, and I ain't sell dope

People ask why, I did it for my folks

(I did it for my folks)

Wanna slice the pie, then you gotta have hope

(Gotta have hope)

Take the plan serious or watch it go in smoke

Watch it go in smoke

I watch it go in smoke (Yeah)

I watch it go in smoke

And I'll watch it go in smoke

Smoke (Yeah)

They said you wanna make it, well, here's some keys to survival

Get you a work ethic, go about it maniacal

Carry your family, all the great ones on that Mariah flow

Come to the neighborhood, show a kid to throw a spiral (Uh)

All about your time, that's the best thing to give (Give)

A message from a distance hardly ever stay in ear (Ever)

Gotta keep a presence, even with your relatives

'Cause we all carry gifts, like Santa and the 'deers

I come through, with no security

I grew up in the slums, ain't no fear in me

Now, the lames come and go, ain't no forgettin' me

They in love with the life, and I don't know Billie Jean (Uh)

Look my at demeanor, see loyalty in my background

Love me 'cause I'm solid, not 'cause I became a cash cow

Tryna make jobs for youngin's, that's on the ave now

That's why I can't have a barbecue and only the pat down

I won't let that money define me (Uh)

I let my struggles refine me (Dame forward)

I know my angels behind me (Yeah)

Young, rich, and in the sticks, tryna find peace

(Yeah, more like that, yeah)

I don't get high, and I ain't sell dope

People ask why, I did it for my folks

(Did it for my folks)

Wanna slice the pie, then you gotta have hope

(Gotta have hope)

Take the plan serious or watch it go in smoke

Watch it go in smoke

I watch it go in smoke

(Yeah) I watch it go in smoke

Then I watch it go in smoke

Smoke, smoke, oh (Yeah)
