Wasn't for this music, I'll proly be dead Instead I'm on top and I'm countin' this bread Sittin' in the mansion, could've been in the feds Drop top even with a price on my head, woah It's no roof so they can see me shine No roof so they can see me shine Only a matter of time It's dedicated, put it all to the grind It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah It's no roof so they can see me shine No roof so they can see me shine Only a matter of time It's dedicated, put it all to the grind It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah I was born poor, but I'mma die rich Ridin' in the 7 like I'm Pac in 96 Still rockin' with the clique I had to grind with Went to war, flip nickels and sold them dimes with Yea, I used to sell nicks of reggie nigga I get the chills every time that lil' confetti hit us North Philly skinny bull but I'm heavy nigga They switched sides they was never with us And petty niggas wanna mention my name To get acknowledged Hopin' that we act like a fool and get in violence I'd rather kill 'em all with success and give 'em knowledge Then throw it all away for a sucker cause we the hottest My momma crib big as a church I'm bein' modest No sleep puttin' in work that's how she got it Bout it bout it I started grindin' when niggas doubted Now I got it I'm drippin' in diamonds a nigga got it that's gangsta Wasn't for this music, I'll proly be dead Instead I'm on top and I'm countin' this bread Sittin' in the mansion, could've been in the feds Drop top even with a price on my head, woah It's no roof so they can see me shine No roof so they can see me shine Only a matter of time It's dedicated, put it all to the grind It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah It's no roof so they can see me shine No roof so they can see me shine Only a matter of time It's dedicated, put it all to the grind It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah Out in Hollywood trying not to get caught up in it Struggle was brought up in it, hustle, we gonna get it This one is for my youngins going to school with corner niggas Don't get caught up in that boxing corner nigga Times changed, it's feeling like live niggas versus corny niggas They building more jails I'm warning niggas, shots fire Momma crying, traumatizing their mourning niggas Them cops killing us like it's war with niggas, it's on with niggas I did shed so many tears at that corner store Man I spent so many years at that corner store I see my niggas disappear at that corner store When they was sleepin' we was there at that corner store Ya and we was eating at the corner store Coppers catch us and they beat us at that corner store Shit we was toting on them heaters at that corner store Cause they was ploting tryna leave us at that corner store Wasn't for this music, I'll proly be dead Instead I'm on top and I'm countin' this bread Sittin' in the mansion, could've been in the feds Drop top even with a price on my head, woah It's no roof so they can see me shine No roof so they can see me shine Only a matter of time It's dedicated, put it all to the grind It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah It's no roof so they can see me shine No roof so they can see me shine Only a matter of time It's dedicated, put it all to the grind It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah It's no roof so they can see me shine Whole city came out just to see me rhyme Started off in Impalas now its DB9 In the Aston like he James Bond Who he think he is? Diamonds dancing all on me doing the stanky leg I hear them whispers niggas talkin' what they think he made Think what you want you gon' think I'm paid Shit he balling I don't think he saved, all I did was think and pray I got young niggas in the grave They got murdered by a nigga with some bitter ways They don't give a fuck about us put us in a cage Let us out with that parole man this shit a maze RIP to Snupe, RIP to Scooter RIP to Dex told him I could be his shooter I tell Snupe they don't love ya they just want to do ya You see that truck that's the feds watchin' not an Uber Wasn't for this music, I'll proly be dead Instead I'm on top and I'm countin' this bread Sittin' in the mansion, could've been in the feds Drop top even with a price on my head, woah It's no roof so they can see me shine No roof so they can see me shine Only a matter of time It's dedicated, put it all to the grind It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah It's no roof so they can see me shine No roof so they can see me shine Only a matter of time It's dedicated, put it all to the grind It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah
