Intro

This is Durk

Better known on the south side of Chicago

And throughout the midwest as Lil Durk's father

As it started out, I had a life sentence

For the stool pigeon who told on me

And I been doin' that time for twenty-two years now

Alhamdulillah by the grace of Allah

I got that blessin' and won that appeal

And now I'll be out in a few years

To be with my boy, to be with my sons

To be where I'm supposed to be in life

And do the things I'm supposed to do as a father

As always, for those who are in the struggle

For those who in this system

For those who in the state's system

Keep ya head up, keep fightin'

Cowards, rats, don't never win over real dudes

So keep ya head up, soldier

And we gon' keep on lettin' this thing continue to flow

And we'll get out and do what we supposed to do as men

And hold our own

And be the fathers we supposed to be

Be the men of the community we supposed to be

Day after day, seems like I push against the clouds

Haha, I tried to get that in

Got JDR on the ones and twos

They just keep blocking out the sun

I want y'all to follow this shit, ya dig?

I put him in his glow, he put me in mine

You know how we do it, yo

It seems, since I was born

Got juice in this bitch with me, Carlito

I've waken every blessed morning

Down on my luck and up against the wind

Out the Range in Chicago to kill

Stay duckin' hollows, fu shit

On my block where it get too real

One **** doin' two drills

JMoney love the blue steel

L'A bustin' off two pills

My **** too trill

Three-hundred **** too real

Three-hundred **** too real, yeah

Pluto be T'd off the Rémy

Think he a Migo off the Rémy

I think I'm Nuski with the semi

He still got a strap, ****'s trippin'

And I'm hard body that I'm missin'

Chino dead, not to mention

I was in the studio coolin' sippin'

L'A told me stay in the kitchen

Don't be loafin' with these bitches

Don't put trust into these ****

Beto gang will get you missin'

Jrock keep sayin' ya miss 'em

Iris dead, that my first cuz

My first blood

The one I love and I miss you

Rest in peace to OD

O block went OC

Six-hunnid beef with Baldie

Get these lames up off me

And Tay and Buda shocked me

If I was there, they would've shot me, yeah

Day after day, seems like I push against the clouds

I need everybody to pour out some liquor out, man

They just keep blocking out the sun

For everybody that's ever lost

Fuck, it roll up, haha

It seems, since I was born

I'm pourin' my lean

I've waken every blessed morning

Uh, uh-whoa

Down on my luck and up against the wind

They ain't deserve it

I'm out all night and they worried

Mama trippin', got a **** nervous

I'm just sippin', drivin', steady swerve

Bullets catchin' quick, hollows burn 'em

Twitter **** steady talkin' murder

Call my lawyer ****, I ain't heard it

Call my lawyer ****, I ain't heard it

You won't make the news where I come from

Rap but you get the blues where I come from

Shoot a TEC, you on a cruise where I come from

Get killed out the blue where I come from, because

**** ain't keep it to real, **** ain't keep it too trill

That's why I got me like two deals

I'm tryna chase me two mil

Free Rondo, his bond is two mil

And I got money, I'm chillin', three children

Get money, invest in some buildings

My ****, we got it, we round each other

My ****, we buildin'

**** be tweakin', get money, lil' **** chill out on that killin'

The murder capital so ridiculous

I swear I was grindin' for dimes and nickels

I swore I'd never drop a dime on a ****

(Let's get it, let's get it, let's get)

Want a war? I'll never waste time on a ****

Let's get it, let's get it

Day after day, seems like I push against the clouds

(Let the beat talk to 'em, beat talk to 'em)

(I put my life in you)

They just keep blocking out the sun

(Whoa) Haha (Yeah)

It seems, since I was born

You're there when times are hard

(And I feel this, yeah)

I've waken every blessed morning

You're there when times are hard

Down on my luck and up against the wind
