lyrics

I’m tryna win
Forgive me for my sins
Food in the cling but not in a tin
From young I lost my innocence but I had inner sense
Judge me on my actions not my deliverance

For the family We been chasing for some Bigger things
But they just wanna see us safe and lidge
Make your bed you lay in it that’s the space I’m in
Don’t betray my trust it’s already paper thin

Put your bets on me I’m one to leave your paper with
When their feeling low I tend to give their faith a lift
I need a change but still give the waitress tips
I ain’t being clumsy when I say I take a trip

It ain’t heads or tails when I say I made a flip
If you ain’t slept top and tail you might never get a grip
Of none of these settings
It’s humble beginnings

And hungry decisions
That made us this way
The first 28 grams was kids play
Back when we were kids risking it where the kids play
Respecting the elders but they still look in dismay

We don’t know what peace is
We’re picking up the pieces
I’m not a defeatist
So they can’t defeat it

Slanging like Serena
Slinging like Venus
Bro got Tanisha to hide all the Tina’s

Listening to flamerz, we’re dreamers
Want Porsches, Mercs, beamers
Dreams of the stadium tryna score screamers
But the dreams didn’t meet us

The dreams haven’t met us
I need Aaliyah with a 4 page letter
I hope she seal it with a kiss
Furthermore I ain’t got time to reminisce
I got a lot of dreams but I held them clenched fist

Open palms by the palms like ignorance isn’t bliss
Blood I’m all for the team I can score or assist
I take a risk like, do you get the gist
Like if this goes wrong then I’m pissed

Still do it for my bro or my sis
Still well connected,
From a pic to some jibs
Now I’m picturing things more gratefully
I'm from humble beginnings it’s all the same to me
