Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Uh, same song, smoking till the pain gone
Somehow a **** made it through the rainstorm
Living a dirty life
Under the bright lights, yeah
Hated on, hanging on
**** still banging on, when I'm just tryna take flight
Women always tryna entice
Bitch, you know I got a wife
Uh, homegrown, ozone
Bad habits long gone, ya **** reaching new heights
Aye, just for me to live in this bitch
Why did somebody have to die?
Mmm, waking up on another fucking Monday morning
Slap the shit outta the owner, no more taking orders
Stiff-arming lawsuits and dodging reporters
Death Row, Cadillac Records in these muddy waters
Spent my whole life moving forward, I'm the evidence
Legendary veteran, heaven-sent with rhetoric
Cooking up with Martha Stewart, know you **** smell the scent
Hood **** to Hollywood, I must've had a sixth sense
Now, I turned into the **** I'm supposed to be
C-walking on that Nipsey Hussle, blue upholstery
Thank you to The D.O.C. that opened up that door for me
OG grown locally, only gangstas close to me
And they say
[Chorus]
They say that some things will never change
These **** always gon' talk no matter how high you get
As soon as you win, that's the moment they want you to fall
Just tryna leave something that'll live forever
So every fucking day gotta be now or never
I'm shooting for the stars for something so unforgettable
[Verse 2]
Aye, it's a war going on outside, nobody safe
That's why them landmines 'round mine ready to shake
Have your family watching the choir singing Amazing Grace
My song set in stone, my story can't be erased
It's like a jungle sometimes on this planet of the apes
That's why I keep a couple banana clips just in case
Heh, got me in here feeling like Malcolm behind the drapes
"Fuck you" is just an expression of my profession
Heh, been had an attitude since my adolescence
Chasing perfection, never accepting no exceptions
My sign of success is always legible, it's so incredible
So incredible
Aye, nights like this are un-fucking-forgettable
Unforgettable
Ha, your next breath might be ya last, ****, you never know
Let it go
[Chorus]
They say that some things will never change
These **** always gon' talk no matter how high you get
As soon as you win, that's the moment they want you to fall
Just tryna leave something that'll live forever
So every fucking day gotta be now or never
I'm shooting for the stars for something so unforgettable
