Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time in the projects, yo
I'm at a cee lo game and my dice hit four
That **** rolled a three but I ain't get my dough
My hammer got a red light on it, but I let that go
My whole life hidin' from the 5-0
Sirens loud outside of my door
Shorties screamin', "You's a wild ****"
Lil' bitch actin' like she ain't know
I put in that work, my name rings those bells
**** know not to play with Joell
**** know not to play with my money
'Cause **** know I'm not takin' that L
I've been in these streets all my life
Had **** teeth in all my Nikes
Had white sheets all in my heat
Had white meat all on my knife
My ****, it's real **** shit (Shit)
Big pound on my chest (Chest)
Big pound on my waist, ****
Hit pound R.N.S.
[Verse 2]
I ain't ever ran on my ****
Never took a stand on my ****
I will never jam up my ****
Real **** shit, R.N.S.
I ain't ever ran on my ****
Never took a stand on my ****
I will never jam up my ****
Real **** shit, R.N.S.
R.N.S.
R.N.S.
R.N.S.
R.N.S.
[Verse 3]
Look, once upon a time on the Jersey City dock
Had my truck parked on that corner
Had them 18's on yappa
When a **** ran up on that bicycle
With his hand on that Glock
Tryna get his blast on with that mask on
But I thank God it didn't pop
Thank God it jammed on him, jammed on him
Pay for havin' that drop
If he was in our shoes, he woulda killed us too
So we ran straight to them cops
That was fun homes, it's cool
See you when you come home, you get a time wait
None of my **** gon' tell on you
We'll turn anything 'fore we turn state
Just real shit, always around
No sausage party, keep hoes around
My name called and we treat her like that
She come around, she goes around
She gon' call her friend up
Tell her 'bout that money we throw around
And then go blow her jack up
To holla at a **** when they know I'm in town
[Verse 4]
I ain't ever ran on my ****
Never took a stand on my ****
I will never jam up my ****
Real **** shit, R.N.S.
I ain't ever ran on my ****
Never took a stand on my ****
I will never jam up my ****
Real **** shit, R.N.S.
R.N.S.
R.N.S.
R.N.S.
R.N.S.
[Verse 5]
Once upon a time in North Long Beach, yo
Somebody was knockin' at my door
It's my homie and he from Compton
Told me hear heard some **** was plottin'
To come up to my spot and leave me shot
And bleedin' prolly from a problem from the past
Get that Kevlar and guard your chest
Stand your ground but watch your step
My **** that's R.N.S.
Now I circle the block before I pull in the house
In case a couple killers like hidin' in my hedges
Word on the street they heard about the Bentley
(Park that shit) ridin' in my Lexus with two TEC-9's
Kinda ironic how I'm ridin' with TEC's
'Bout to send my rivals a message
Cold as the ice in my necklace
I'm feelin' like I'm in Vietnam with insomnia
Or a kamikaze in Bosnia
'Cause it's so hard to rest when you're at war with killers
And that's R.N.S.
[Verse 6]
I ain't ever ran on my ****
Never took a stand on my ****
I will never jam up my ****
Real **** shit, R.N.S.
I ain't ever ran on my ****
Never took a stand on my ****
I will never jam up my ****
Real **** shit, R.N.S.
R.N.S.
R.N.S.
R.N.S.
R.N.S.
