Lyrics

I ain't gon' lie to you, I ain't gon' lie, ayy
Four-one, three, yeah, listen
Yo, I was out there servin' raw, screamin' fuck the law
Shit, I know I've been traumatized after all the things I saw
Up in my life, that's why I'm workin' like there's no tomorrow
But still they judge me and they love to point out every flaw
Cause they don't know my story, they don't know the things I've lost
And they don't know the shit I've been through just so I could floss
I came from nothin, I was postin' by the corner store
Now they mad as fuck, I'm out here ballin' like Kawhi the Claw
And see, I only got one shot, that's why I gotta score
Man, as soon as I cop some land, just know I'm buyin' more
While your favorite rappers was splurgin, focused on buyin' cars
Buyin' clothes, buyin' jewelry, Rolexes, Audemars
I was plottin' on this moment, now I'm out here grindin' hard
And you can try to dim my light, but I'm a shinin' star
See, where I'm from, there ain't too many that be comin' round
So I'm puttin' off of my city, I gotta hold it down, yeah
I ain't gon' lie to you, I ain't gon' lie, ayy
I ain't gon' lie to you, I ain't gon' lie, ayy
I ain't gon' lie to you, yeah
I ain't gon' lie to you, I ain't gon' lie
I ain't gon' lie to you, I ain't gon' lie
A lot of times think how it's gon' be the day I die
I can't think about it for too long, cuz it could make me cry
If I don't accomplish what I want, then I can say I tried
But tell me how I'm supposed to blow when they want us to stay inside
I just pray to God that I stay alive
I got scenes I gotta provide for, make time for
But I still gotta grind more, make the money encore
My Lord, I feel like I'm brick
Brothers who look like me out here dyin' every day, ayy
People who don't got no problem lyin' to your face
You be cappin' when you rappin' and that's why I can't relate
When I'm in the zone, sometimes I feel like I can't escape
I'm just tryin' to be great, yeah
I got no time to sit and wait, I get on it when I wait
I ain't finna lie, never was the type of bein' fake
Yeah, yeah
I ain't gon' lie to you, I ain't gon' lie, ayy
I ain't gon' lie to you, I ain't gon' lie, ayy
I ain't gon' lie to you, yeah
I ain't gon' lie to you, I ain't gon' lie
